Oolong sits between green and black tea: the leaves are allowed to oxidise partially before heat stops the process, anywhere between barely and almost fully. Japan makes very little of it, since the country's tea industry is built around steaming leaf immediately to prevent exactly that oxidation, so Japanese oolong is a small and deliberate production. Partial oxidation develops floral and stone-fruit aromas that neither a green nor a black tea produces, over a soft body with none of the green-tea astringency. It takes water much hotter than a sencha, and it rewards repeated short infusions — five or six from one portion is normal. Each one tastes a little different as the leaf unfurls.
Artesano del té: Miyazaki SabouMiyazaki
Durante mucho tiempo, Akira Miyazaki luchó por cultivar té utilizando únicamente fertilizantes orgánicos. Su cosecha dependía del clima y de los insectos, y algunos años el rendimiento era bastante bajo. Pronto aprendió que, en lugar de intentar controlar la naturaleza, debía coexistir con ella. Si las plantas de té se cultivan en armonía con la naturaleza, la tierra les permitirá prosperar. Tras aceptar esta filosofía, logró producir durante años té de excelente calidad, sin dañar la belleza natural de Gokase.
Origen: MiyazakiJapón
Este té oolong de alta montaña se cultiva en las montañas de Gokase, en la prefectura de Miyazaki . Si bien los tés tostados en sartén y los tés Oolong son poco comunes en Japón, esta región se ha hecho famosa por ellos. La plantación de Miyazaki Sabou no ha utilizado pesticidas en sus campos durante los últimos 40 años y todos sus tés se producen de forma orgánica. La gran altitud de los campos de té y el clima templado del sur de Japón crean las condiciones perfectas para el cultivo de tés de primera calidad.
Cultivar: Minamisayaka, Saemidori, TakachihoVariedad de té
This rare oolong is a blend of 3 different tea cultivars, the Minamisayaka, Saemidori and Takachiho. The farmer combines these 3 carefully to capture the best aspects of each.
Minamisayaka: The name Minamisayaka roughly translates to “southern freshness” and it is known for having a milky and floral characteristic. This makes it perfect for making high mountain oolong like this, as you really want to capture these flowery flavors and aromas.
Saemidori: The saemidori cultivar is mostly used for the production of premium green teas like gyokuro and matcha, but it works great in this rare oolong. This cultivar is known for its light and sweet flavor, so it really smooths out the overall flavor of this tea.
This tea cultivar was named after the town it was created in, Takachiho a small village in Miyazaki prefecture. It was created as far back as 1953, making it just as old as Yabukita. The tea variety was intended to be used for kamairicha, but it works perfectly in this high mountain oolong. : Takachiho

We ship from warehouses in the US, the EU and Japan — whichever is closest to you. US and EU orders arrive in 4–12 business days; the handful of countries served from Japan take around 10. Business days count from dispatch rather than from when you order, and exclude weekends and public holidays. You'll get a tracking number by email the moment your parcel leaves the warehouse.
We only buy from fields grown without pesticides or chemicals. We ask each farmer directly how they manage their land, visit the plantation and processing facility ourselves, taste every harvest before committing, and check that the biodiversity around the fields is alive. Small family farms don't always carry paperwork — so we verify it in person instead.
Japanese green tea covers an enormous range, and choosing online isn't easy. If you've tried yours and it isn't for you, email info@nioteas.com within 30 days with your order number and a line on what you didn't enjoy. We'll send a different tea of equal or lower value, free. Nothing to post back — keep it, share it, or try brewing it cooler. Once per order.
Email info@nioteas.com within 30 days with your order number and a photo. We'll approve it, cover the return postage with a prepaid label or a reimbursement, and refund you — no restocking fee. Refunds go to your original payment method within 2 business days of the return reaching us; your bank may take another 5–20 to show it.
Unopened items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days. Tea is sealed for hygiene, so opened packs can't come back — but the swap above covers exactly that situation. Return postage is yours unless the item arrived damaged, defective or incorrect.
Orders to the US and EU ship domestically from our local warehouse, so there's no customs charge and no duty. A small number of destinations are served from our Japan warehouse, where your own customs authority may apply import duty, VAT or a carrier handling fee on delivery. Those are set by your country, not by us. Ask before you order and we'll help you check.

Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 40 reviews.
Being in Hong Kong (China) I ordered the Oolong tea from Nioteas and was blown away how delicious it tasted. From past 30 years I’ve never had Oolong tea in any part of China which had a nutty flavour and also a floral note. I’ve been so happy with the purchase that I ended up ordering more different varieties of tea from NIO teas. I wish they would also carry English Breakfast Tea + Darjeeling tea. Keep up the good work guys.
Ah yes had to stock up on these leebz grabbed 270G and you can steep and share big strong batches with 4G easy to introduce new people to outstanding organic tea, and have personal sessions with a 125ML gaiwan in da park or in a van down by the river.
Dis Miyazaki High Mountain Oolong is lovely it can handle hi temp steeping but boy does it shine with lower temps and hi leaf ratio in a gaiwan, it is sweet and creamy let me tell ya, so glad I grabbed 90G definitely gotta stock up peepz!
My husband loves oolong from China. I had him try this oolong, and he really liked it. I do as well. The floral is subtle, which I really appreciate. It's a really nice, light, tea that I will be ordering more of.
Delicious aroma, a lot more subdued compared to a dancong but the creaminess was out of this world, I was thrown off because I’d never expected tea to taste anything like a dairy product. I will be buying this again and will savor it!
A lovely session with a friend today! We enjoyed this tea and discussed the opportunities to try new teas! I’ve not had a Japanese oolong until today, but let’s say I’m officially a fan.
Notes: lotus flower, licorice root, fennel, and incredibly thick mouthfeel!
Such a delicious tea! I took some time to do a tasting with this tea, and these are my impressions.
Dry Leaf Scent: Highly aromatic roses, gardenia flowers, plum jam, and lemon bars.
Wet Leaf Scent: Sweet steamed baby bok choy, jasmine flower, and toasted whole grain waffles with honey.
1st Infusion Taste: Extremely aromatic gardenia flower, rose water, freshly baked almond croissant, and dark honey.
2nd Infusion Taste: Miso soup (umami, sweet and salty, and toasty), honey, and bok choy.
Body Sensations - Relaxed, yet energized clarity of mind. Cooling sensations ran through my neck, back and waist.
Highly recommended!
Miyazaki Sabou is a light and floral oolong, definitely on the greener side of the spectrum. The instructions tell you to brew it the Japanese way, one longer infusion, followed by two shorter ones but at higher temperatures (90°C) so you can extract its floral notes. The warmed up dry leaves smelled more green than floral and my first infusion was also rather vegetal with some floral hints. Perhaps I didn't get my temperatures quite right. I must try again to see if the flavours appear different to me next time. The second infusion, however, was unmistakably oolong, highly floral with notes of lilac blossoms, the third was milder in flavour. The texture of the tea is soft and buttery and the liquor has a bright yellow-green colour.
I loved this Japanese oolong! I am mostly used to drinking the Chinese and Taiwanese oolongs but this one is just is good. Light, sweet and floral. Everything I'm looking for in a green oolong
Nice sweet start that progresses into a floral finish but it is not too floral. Tastes are very balanced. I will buy this again and again. Hopefully there will be other Oolongs added.
I liked it. It is of the sort of Taiwan oloongs. Nice smell when dry, curled leaves. Whe poured it has a deep floral taste to it and a bit of sweetness. No astringency at all. Nice tea overall
First time trying Nio Teas, but I’m really impressed - high quality, quick shipping. The Miyazaki Oolong is an excellent tea that I will definitely order again.
Dieser Tee ist etwas Besonderes. Bei den unterschiedlichen Aufgüssen zeigt er unterschiedliche Aromen. Sehr komplex, auch Rose und einmal Jasmin konnte ich identifizieren. Sehr guter Tee!
This oolong just hits different. A cinnamon like undertone, floral with that distinctive oolong taste. And so smooth. No harsh edges. Absolutely love this.
This oolong tea is very nice! The first steep has a pleasant taste that, to me, is similar to a Jamaican plant called callaloo, which I thought was really interesting. The second steep is also nice, and I actually start to taste a very faint floral note. I usually drink it straight, but when I’m having sugar cravings, I add about a tablespoon of cane sugar. I was expecting this tea to have a strong bitter taste, but pleasantly, it doesn’t. I bought three bags and placed them in my IKEA glass jar—I think it’s the 17oz one. I will definitely keep this restocked!
The description is very true! It is a beautiful light but rich tea. The floral aromatics are matched by a gentle sweetness that is not overwhelming. It is elegant and bright, really tasting like spring.
If you're a fan of floral teas, you simply have to try this oolong. The balance of flavors is impeccable and something I haven't been able to find in other teas
I love this oolong. The taste is very light, while still being quite flavorful. It's the perfect tea to enjoy during a quiet moment of relaxation. I wish I had more moments like that!
There's nothing quite like the experience of brewing up a cup of this oolong. Everything from the taste to the smell of the leaves in the pot is simply divine. I can't wait until my next shipment arrives!
