Cinnamon Spice Oolong: Your Artisanal Winter Reset & Metabolic Companion

More About Jasper & Gold’s Cinnamon Spice Oolong Tea

This artisanal blend is crafted with USDA Certified Organic ingredients and a highly sought-after Wuyi Rock Tea, traditionally used to support metabolic vitality, digestive harmony, and emotional fitness:

• White2Tea Qilan Oolong (Wuyi Mountains, Fujian): A "crowd favorite" among rock tea connoisseurs, this Qilan is on the brighter side of the Yancha spectrum. It offers sticky, aromatic complexity and a unique sappy mouthfeel with a deep mineral sweetness. Traditionally, Oolong is prized for its high manganese and polyphenol content, used to boost metabolic rate and enhance mental alertness.

• Organic Ceylon Cinnamon (Sri Lanka): Unlike common cassia, our "True" Ceylon cinnamon is low in coumarin and high in flavor. It is traditionally used to support healthy blood sugar levels and a balanced inflammatory response—essential for any January wellness reset.

• Organic Ginger Root (India): Adds a targeted, spicy warmth. Ginger is a cornerstone of traditional wellness, used to support digestive harmony, circulation, and the body's natural defenses during the peak of winter.

• Organic Ceylon Nutmeg (Sri Lanka): Provides a warm, grounding aromatic note. Nutmeg is traditionally recognized for supporting digestive comfort and relaxation, helping to downregulate the nervous system after a productive day.

• Organic Ceylon Cloves (Sri Lanka): One of nature’s most potent antioxidant spices. Cloves are traditionally used to support gut health and oral wellness, offering a pungent depth that rounds out the blend's "Warming Spiced" profile.

How to Infuse:

Matthias, Our Tea Craftsman's Inspiration: The Heart of the Golden Series

Jasper & Gold’s Cinnamon Spice Oolong holds a special place in my heart—it was the very first blend that ignited my passion for artisan tea crafting. It was born from a desire to create a comforting, "apothecary-style" infusion that celebrated the functional warmth of premium organic Ceylon cinnamon and the invigorating zest of ginger root.

In late 2024, I made a pivotal decision to elevate this formula by integrating Artisan Rock Oolong (Qilan) from the Wuyi Mountains. I was captivated by its "sappy" mouthfeel and the dark, mineral-rich energy of its leaves. By using hand-broken Ceylon cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and zesty ginger pieces, we’ve ensured a more nuanced extraction of essential oils. This creates a "slow-release" flavor profile that evolves with every steep, offering a truly sophisticated sensory experience.

I love how the sweet, cozy aroma anchors you in the present moment. Whether you are navigating a January Reset or seeking a mindful ritual for Mental Health Month, I encourage you to explore its versatility. Add a touch of local raw honey, a splash of lemon, or frothed oat milk to transform this functional blend into a rich, restorative Rock Tea Latte.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Jasper & Gold’s Cinnamon Spice Oolong

• What makes this blend a "Winter Reset" favorite for 2026? As we navigate Dry January and the post-holiday season, many are seeking a "Low-Friction" way to reboot. Cinnamon Spice Oolong is designed for this moment. It swaps sugary lattes for the "sappy" mineral sweetness of White2Tea’s Qilan Rock Tea, providing a sophisticated sensory experience that supports a balanced metabolic rhythm without the need for extreme detoxes.

• What are the key functional benefits of Cinnamon Spice Oolong? This blend is meticulously crafted and traditionally used to:

  • Optimize Metabolic Vitality: Support the body's natural fat oxidation and energy efficiency.

  • Promote Digestive Harmony: Ease the "winter sluggishness" and bloating associated with seasonal dietary shifts.

  • Regulate the Nervous System: The L-theanine in our Qilan Oolong provides "Calm Energy," helping to downregulate stress.

  • Fortify Natural Defenses: Provide a potent dose of antioxidants and warming spices for winter wellness.

• How does it support my "Metabolic Health"? Premium Wuyi Yancha (Rock Tea) like our Qilan is naturally high in polyphenols. These compounds, combined with Organic Ceylon Cinnamon, are traditionally recognized for supporting insulin sensitivity and a healthy metabolic rate.

• Is this blend helpful for digestion? Yes. The combination of Organic Ginger and Ceylon Cloves is a classic apothecary staple. These warming spices are traditionally used to stimulate digestive enzymes and relax the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, promoting comfort after meals.

• What is the difference between "Rock Tea" and regular Oolong? Our Qilan is a Yancha, or "Rock Tea," grown in the mineral-rich, rocky soil of the Wuyi Mountains. This gives the tea a distinct mineral sweetness and a viscous, sappy mouthfeel that you won't find in standard oolongs. It’s often described as having "sticky" aromatics that linger, providing a deeper somatic (body-based) experience.

• Can I drink this for "Mental Health Month" (March)? Absolutely. While January is about the physical reset, March is about Mental Flow. The moderate caffeine in Oolong provides mental endurance, while the grounding aromatics of nutmeg and cinnamon help anchor your focus, supporting what we call "Emotional Fitness."

• Is it safe for a sensitive stomach? While the warming spices (ginger, clove) are generally soothing, those with extreme sensitivity to "heat" in spices should start with a lighter steep. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have a specific condition.

• How do I brew this for a "Longevity Ritual"?

  • Western Style: Steep 1 teabag (or 1-2 tsp) in 16 oz of 195°F water for 4-5 minutes.

  • Gong Fu Style: For the true artisan experience, use a small vessel and short 30-second steeps. This allows you to witness the "Rare Orchid" aromatics evolve.

  • The Spiced Latte: Steep 2 teabags in 4 oz of hot water for 6 minutes. Stir in honey and top with frothed plant-based milk for a functional, guilt-free treat.

• Is it caffeine-free? No, this is a moderately caffeinated black tea varietal. It offers a "clean energy" profile—meaning it provides the focus you need for a productive afternoon without the jittery "crash" associated with coffee or energy drinks.
