Origin of Jade Oolong

The Jade Oolong was officially named as Tai Cha No.13 in 1982 by the Tea Research and Extension Station (TRES) of Taiwan.

It is made from the Camellia sinensis leaf, and is unique because it goes through a variable partial oxidation process that ensures each batch will have a different color and taste.

The oxidation process also strips jade oolong tea of many of its health benefits, placing its effectiveness between green tea, which is the most beneficial, and black tea, which goes through a complete oxidation process that removes almost all of its health benefits.
