Oolong Tea

Balanced Energy & Focus

• Halfway between green + black tea: Partial oxidation gives you moderate caffeine + high l-theanine
• Result: Calm alertness, not coffee jitters. Monks called it “meditation tea” for a reason

Metabolism & Heart Health

• Polyphenols like theaflavins + EGCG are linked to healthy metabolism and cardiovascular support in studies
• Traditional use: “Warming the center” in Chinese medicine. Aids digestion after rich meals
• Caffeine level: ∼30-50mg per cup — less than coffee, more than green. Gentle lift

Skin & Aging Ritual

• Antioxidants fight oxidative stress. Folk tradition: “beauty tea” for clear skin + graceful aging
• Partial fermentation creates unique compounds not found in green or black tea
• Cassio vibe: “Drink your skincare.” Pairs with Balneum Rosae bath tea nights

How to Brew at Cassio

Water: 195°F — just under boiling to protect the leaves
Steep: 3 min first infusion. oolong leaves re-steep 3-5x — watch them “dance” and unfurl
Vibe: Use a gaiwan or glass pot. Short steeps, many rounds. This tea rewards patience
