Formosa Oolong is grown on the island of Taiwan. It was given the name 'Ilha Formosa' by a Dutch sailor traveling on a ship from Portugal about 400 years ago. The Taiwanese population is made up of the descendants of the Malay-Polynesian aborigines who mixed with the migrant Chinese workers brought in by the Dutch. The Formosa Oolongs have developed ever since the tea was brought over from the Chinese province of Fuijian where it was first produced.
The Bisbee Coffee offers this delicate orchid-like oolong with light and sweet milky character in 12oz cups, small pots and large pots. Organic Formosa or Tung Ting, which means 'Icy Summit', is best brewed Gong Fu style and can be steeped several times.
