This rather healthy and unique Oolong tea (also known as Ren Shen Oolong) with an unusual appearance combines Ginseng and hand rolled Oolong into a new creation that's becoming immensely popular due to its remarkable after-taste and the benefits of Ginseng.

Rolling, baking, and dusting with Ginseng powders are the final steps in the birth of this enticing tea that we'd actually classify as a great morning drink that will give you a bit of a boost throughout the day thanks to the high quality Ginseng contained within.

Calm, steady energy: Natural caffeinated caffeine plus L-theanine from oolong may help with alertness with fewer jitters than coffee

Metabolic and heart support: Regular tea intake has modest beneficial effects on cholesterol balance and fat metabolism in the context of healthy lifestyle.

Immune and stress support: Ginseng is a traditional adaptogenic herb used to deal with physical and mental stress.

Digestive comfort and oral health: light-medium oolongs are mild after meals; Tea polyphenols inhibit odour making bacteria.

Cautionary Notes

Caffeine: Oolong has moderate caffeine. Limit when sensitive, pregnant or nursing (total caffeine should not exceed 200 mg/day in pregnancy).

Ginseng interactions: Blood sugar and blood pressure may be affected. Precautions if you are taking diabetes or other antihypertensives. Ginseng interacts with some anticoagulants (warfarin) and antidepressants; If on prescription medicines, seek medical advice.

Surgery: 1-2 weeks before surgery stop taking ginseng-containing products unless your doctor says otherwise (possible effects on glucose and bleeding risk).

Insomnia/anxiety: Some people find ginseng and caffeine together cause restlessness or sleep disturbance; Avoid at night.

Iron absorption: Tea tannins inhibit non-haem iron uptake. Avoid iron rich meals or supplements. Leave an additional 2-3 hours between sessions.

Reflux or sensitive stomach: Strong infusions or drinking on an empty stomach can worsen heartburn; Brew lighter, take with food.

Allergies and sensitivities: Immediately stop if you experience side effects.

This also allows us to maintain our current pricing without any increases which we feel is more important at this time.
