I mean Yellow Gold Oolong Tea, which my husband and I have been enjoying every day. It’s excellent piping hot, of course- but we’ve also been making pitchers of it and storing it in the fridge, the perfect refreshment to accompany us while we work.

Oolong (also known as Wu Long) Tea’s nutritional properties lie somewhere in between Green tea and Black tea. It’s said to be “anti-aging” because it lowers high blood pressure, prevents heart disease, and is awesome for digestion- something I can certainly attest to. Best of all, though, is its taste.

Nothing tastes like Oolong Tea. The Yellow Gold we’ve been enjoying is unbelievably fragrant, a little caramelly, with a touch of citrus tang. Because it’s similar to Green tea, it’s great on its own- and because it’s similar to Black tea, it’s also wonderful with cream and sugar. Mmm.
