Ginseng Oolong tastes light and lovely, with a hearty undercurrent of nutty ginseng flavor. This lighter-bodied oolong has fruity and floral notes, with just the right amount of sweetness. Then the ginseng flavor adds a robust, slightly earthy undertone.

If you want an easygoing introduction to the world of oolong tea, then start here. Give these rolled leaves enough space to expand in your strainer, and savor the results.

This blend contains tea and flavoring, and no ginseng. High demand has driven this popular medicinal plant toward extinction. We faced a similar conundrum with our popular huckleberry blends, struggling to justify using real huckleberries as they became increasingly scarce—and expensive! LMTC believes in building a sustainable tea trade, which means staying away from overharvested, endangered ingredients.

Alexander A. ★★★★★

I was surprised by how smooth and light this oolong is, the ginseng adds a gentle nuttiness without being overpowering. Perfectly balanced sweetness makes it a great afternoon pick-me-up.

Zoe ★★★★★

The nutty ginseng flavor sneaks up under the floral notes in a way I didn't expect from a lighter oolong. It's sweet without being cloying, and I've been steeping a second cup every afternoon since it arrived.

Henry J. ★★★★☆

The floral notes come through nicely on the first steep, though I wish the ginseng was a bit stronger. It's smooth enough to drink plain in the afternoon without any sweetener.
