Oolong tea sits beautifully between green and black tea, offering a unique balance of freshness, depth, and complexity. Partially oxidised, it can range in character from light and floral to rich, roasted, and honeyed depending on the style.

Each cup of oolong reveals layers of flavour that evolve with every steep, making it one of the most rewarding teas to explore. Naturally containing caffeine, it provides a smooth and steady energy lift without the sharp intensity of stronger black teas.

At Brewesty, we carefully select premium loose-leaf oolong teas and craft thoughtful blends that highlight both tradition and modern flavour expression, bringing a refined and versatile tea experience to your daily ritual.

For most healthy adults, 2 to 4 cups of oolong tea per day (about 400–800 ml) is a healthy and enjoyable amount.
Because oolong is partially oxidized, its caffeine content falls between green and black tea.

✅ Benefits of drinking 2–4 cups daily

• Rich in polyphenol antioxidants, which help protect cells from oxidative stress.
• May support heart health.
• Can improve focus and mental alertness with a balanced combination of caffeine and L-theanine.
• May modestly support metabolism and fat oxidation as part of a healthy lifestyle.
• Can aid digestion, especially after richer meals.

☕ Caffeine content
One cup of oolong tea typically contains 30–60 mg of caffeine, depending on the tea variety and brewing method.
That means:

• 2 cups: ~60–120 mg caffeine
• 4 cups: ~120–240 mg caffeine

This is comfortably below the general guideline of up to 400 mg of caffeine per day for most healthy adults.

⚠️ When to drink less
You may prefer 1–2 cups per day if you:

• Are sensitive to caffeine.
• Are pregnant (many healthcare providers recommend keeping caffeine below 200 mg per day).
• Have iron deficiency, as tea may reduce iron absorption when consumed with meals.

🧠 Best practices
Drink between meals rather than with meals if you're concerned about iron absorption.

• Brew with water at 85–95°C (185–203°F) for 2–4 minutes, depending on the style.
• High-quality loose-leaf oolong can often be re-steeped 3–6 times, with each infusion revealing new flavors.
• Avoid drinking it late in the evening if caffeine affects your sleep.
