{"title":"Oolong Tea","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOolong teas have the widest range of oxidisation, usually somewhere between green and black. These teas are also typically grown from their own specific cultivar, and a single oolong cultivar can be taken in dozens of directions depending on how far it's oxidised, how it's rolled, and whether it's roasted. The range within this one category is broad and filled with compelling discoveries and will reward those eager to explore its depth.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"da-hong-pao-big-red-robe","title":"Da Hong Pao","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDa Hong Pao\u003c\/strong\u003e, or \u003cstrong\u003eBig Red Robe\u003c\/strong\u003e, is a roasted oolong from the Wuyi Mountains in northern Fujian, the most famous of the teas grown there.
