It is said that oolong tea first began to be produced at Mt. Wu Yi Shan in Fujian Province at the end of the Ming Dynasty about 400 years ago.
In order to enjoy the flavor and rich aroma unique to oolong tea, an art of drinking it delicately was developed. This involves drinking oolong tea by using a tiny teapot and a tiny teacup. Chinese people have adopted this style for generations right up to the present day.
It is basically difficult to make delicious oolong tea. However, since canned oolong tea, which allows consumers to enjoy delicious oolong tea easily, was launched 18 years ago, it has attracted an increasing number of Japanese aficionados and penetrated the Japanese lifestyle.
