The summer-iced cup — partially oxidised oolong leaves brushed with the sweet pour of ripe watermelon.
Oolong sits between green tea and black: the leaves are partially oxidised — somewhere from twenty to seventy percent — which gives the cup a soft, naturally sweet character that neither pure green nor pure black tea quite reach. Pair that with watermelon and the cup is unmistakably summer.
Drinks well hot but truly comes alive iced — the oolong base is built for cold service. Pour over ice on a hot afternoon and the watermelon character lifts in a way the hot version barely hints at.
Real Oolong
Partial-oxidation Chinese leaf — the in-between tea
Sweet Watermelon
Naturally sweet pairing — the leaf carries it
Built for Ice
Hot is fine — iced is where it lives

Tasting Notes
Sweet Watermelon
Aroma
Lightly sweet, slightly green — the smell of ripe melon flesh rather than candy. Sets the cup’s direction without going syrupy.
Soft Oolong Body
Body
The partially oxidised leaf brings a round, slightly orchid-like character — the cup tastes round rather than crisp. Soft enough that the fruit can sit forward.
Clean Sweet Finish
Aftertaste
Naturally sweet from the fruit and the leaf together — no sugar required. The cup ends light, the way a good summer drink should.
How to Brew
Measure
One level teaspoon (about 2–3g) per 8oz cup. Slightly more for an iced brew.
Heat the Water
85–90°C / 185–195°F. Hotter than for green tea, cooler than for black — oolong sits between, and water temperature should too.
Steep 3–4 Minutes
Three minutes for a brighter, more fruit-forward cup. Four for a fuller body. Watch the leaves unfurl in the pot — that’s the sign of a real oolong.
Water
85–90°C
Time
3–4 min
Per Cup
1 tsp
Stunning iced: brew double-strength, pour over ice with a thin slice of fresh watermelon and a few mint leaves. The closest tea-shelf substitute for a hot-day summer cocktail.
About the Tea
Chinese Oolong
The Base
Partial-oxidation Chinese leaf — neither green nor black, the in-between cup. Lightly fired to bring out the orchid-and-honey character that defines a soft oolong.
Watermelon Pieces
The Fruit
Real dried watermelon folded through the blend — releases a soft, melon-flesh sweetness as the tea steeps. Visible pieces in the tin, not just flavour oil.
Natural Flavour
The Lift
A small amount of natural watermelon flavour rounds the cup — fruit pieces alone can taste hollow once dried, the natural flavour brings them back to ripe.
In the tin
Oolong tea, watermelon pieces, natural watermelon flavour.
Origin & Sourcing
Chinese oolong tea — partial-oxidation, lightly fired. Watermelon pieces folded through the blend in small batches for the Sampson shelf. A summer-iced cup built around the leaf rather than around sweetness.
