Oolong is a traditional Chinese tea that is partially oxidized, placing it between green tea and black tea in terms of flavor and color. The oxidation process can vary, resulting in a wide range of tastes, aromas, and appearances. Oolong tea is known for its complex flavors, which can include floral, fruity, and creamy notes.
Typically, oolong tea leaves are rolled into tight balls or twisted shapes, allowing for multiple infusions. The brewing process often involves using higher temperatures and longer steeping times compared to green tea. Oolong is enjoyed for its unique taste and potential health benefits, including antioxidants and improved metabolism.
