Lan Gui Ren Oolong

Ginseng Oolong, also known as Lan Gui Ren or “Lady Orchid,” is a premium Chinese tea made by tightly rolling high-quality Oolong leaves with powdered ginseng root. The result is a smooth, floral, slightly sweet tea with a distinctive earthy undertone and an invigorating aroma.

Steep 1 teaspoon of Ginseng Oolong in hot water at around 95–100°C for 2–3 minutes. You can re-steep the same leaves multiple times – in fact, the flavour often improves with the second or third infusion.

Lan Gui Ren is valued for its ability to boost energy, improve mental clarity, support metabolism, and aid digestion. It’s often enjoyed as a natural pick-me-up without the jitters of coffee.

Yes, it contains moderate caffeine (30-50mg) from the Oolong base. It provides a smooth energy lift that’s gentler than black tea (40-70mg) or coffee (95-120mg) – ideal for mid-morning or early afternoon focus.

Absolutely! Many tea lovers enjoy it daily for its sustained energy and wellness benefits. However, if you’re sensitive to caffeine or taking certain medications, it’s best to consult a healthcare provider.

People with high blood pressure, hormonal imbalances, or those taking certain medications (like blood thinners or stimulants) should consult a doctor before drinking Ginseng Oolong tea regularly.

It may support metabolism and curb cravings, thanks to both Oolong and Ginseng’s thermogenic and digestive properties – making it a popular tea for weight-conscious drinkers.

The best times are mid-morning or early afternoon, when you need a mental boost or digestive support. It’s best enjoyed between meals and not too late in the evening, due to its natural caffeine content.
