Oolong Tea

Oolong tea, also known as green tea, is one of the six major types of tea in China. It is between green tea and black tea and is a semi-fermented tea. It originated in Fujian, China, and later spread to Guangdong, Taiwan and other places, and gradually formed various oolong tea varieties with their own characteristics, such as Wuyi rock tea, Anxi Tieguanyin, Taiwan mountain oolong, etc.

The production process of oolong tea is unique, including picking, sun drying, making green (shaking green), killing green, rolling, baking and other links. Among them, the green process is particularly critical. By alternating between shaking green and standing, the tea leaves undergo complex biochemical changes, forming the unique "green leaves with red edges" appearance and complex and changeable aroma of oolong tea.

Oolong tea has a dark color and tight strips. After brewing, the tea soup is clear and bright, and the aroma is high and long-lasting. It has both the freshness of green tea and the mellowness of black tea. The taste is rich and varied. Some have floral and fruity aromas, while others show the ripe aroma of charcoal roasting or the mineral aroma of rocks, which is endless.
