Black and Oolong Blend

↑About Black and Oolong Blends

This category is for blends that include black tea and oolong tea with no other ingredients.

Although the oxidation level of oolongs varies widely, the types of oolongs used in blends with black tea tend to be the darker, more-oxidized types, as the greener oolongs tend to have more delicate aromas that can be bowled over by blending them with a stronger black tea.

Although it is impossible to generalize about all such blends, they tend to resemble black tea in terms of color and total level of oxidation, but they can be significantly smoother than black tea.
