Oolong Tea: Amber Oolong

Last Updated: May. 20, 2010

Amber Oolong is a style of oolong tea popular in Taiwan that is darker than jade oolong but still lighter than many oolongs. Different sources claim that the level of oxidation is about 20-40%. [1,2] These "oxidation percentages" are arbitrary and subjective estimates, not measurable values. Amber oolongs tend to have a robust, earthy flavor, but still have some of the greener character of the lighter oolongs.

Amber oolong is made of the same cultivar of tea plant as tie guan yin oolong. [2]
