Description
Oolong tea is a traditional Chinese tea. It's made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Oolong is neither a black tea nor a green tea; it falls into its own category of tea. Black tea is allowed to fully oxidize during processing, giving the tea leaves their dark color and rich malty aroma they’re known for. Green tea is barely oxidized at all, so the leaves keep some of their original green leaf color and fresh-picked flavor. Oolong tea falls somewhere in between and is often described as a partially oxidized tea. The origins of oolong are claimed in both China and Taiwan. It is traditionally rolled, twisted or curled into tight balls or thin strands. Rolling is an important aspect of oolong processing that alters the appearance, color and aroma of the final tea leaves. The caffeine content in an oolong tea generally falls somewhere between a black tea and a green tea. A lightly oxidized oolong may have lower caffeine levels (similar to a green tea) and a highly oxidized oolong may have higher caffeine levels (similar to a black tea).
