The story

Oolong that asks you to watch

Most teas just steep. This one performs. Each bundle is hand-tied around amaranth and nasturtium blossoms, wrapped tight until hot water coaxes it open. The leaves unfurl slowly, revealing the flowers at the centre — a quiet bit of theatre that rewards a clear glass pot and a few minutes of patience.

The flavour follows suit. Smooth oolong depth with a soft floral lift, silky in the mouth without ever tipping into perfume. There is complexity here, but it stays composed: layered notes that develop through the cup rather than announcing themselves all at once.

This is the kind of tea that turns an ordinary Tuesday into an occasion. Pour it for guests, give it to someone who deserves something a bit different, or simply enjoy an unhurried afternoon with a pot that is worth looking at.

Shop tip: Let the water cool a moment after boiling — 90°C keeps the oolong smooth and lets the flower open without scorching.

Good questions

Things people ask us in the shop

Does Oolong Mystère contain caffeine?

Yes. Like all oolongs, it contains natural caffeine — roughly on par with a lighter black tea. Best enjoyed earlier in the day if you are sensitive to caffeine.

Can I add milk to this tea?

We would not recommend it. The delicate floral notes and silky texture show best on their own. Milk would muddy the subtlety you are paying for.

How many cups will I get from a pouch?

Each flowering tea bundle makes one pot, which typically gives two to three cups. The 25g pouch contains roughly two to three bundles depending on size.

Do I need a glass teapot?

Technically no, but you would miss the point. Half the pleasure is watching the bundle open. Any clear heat-resistant pot or large glass mug works well.

How should I store it?

Keep the bundles in a sealed container away from heat, light and strong smells. Stored properly, they will stay fresh for months.

Full product details

Oolong Mystère Flowering Tea is a layered, aromatic oolong with a sense of occasion — smooth, nuanced and quietly luxurious.

Handcrafted from fine Chinese oolong leaves, each bundle is hand-tied around vibrant blossoms that reveal themselves slowly as the tea steeps, unfurling into a beautiful floral display in the pot.

The flavour mirrors the theatre: gently complex oolong depth with a soft floral lift, silky mouthfeel and a clean, composed finish that stays elegant rather than perfumed.

Made for glass teapots, unhurried afternoons and gifting, Oolong Mystère is the kind of tea that turns “fancy a brew?” into an actual moment.
