Oolong, which means “black dragon” in Chinese, is a semi-oxidized tea made from the Camellia sinensis plant. Its oxidation process is interrupted before it is fully completed.
The freshly picked leaves are left to dry in the sun. At a certain point, once they begin to wither and oxidize, the process is stopped by rapidly heating the leaves at high temperatures. The result is an exceptional tea with a sublime taste and distinctive character; its appearance and aroma fall somewhere between green tea and black tea.
Our Recommendation
Tea connoisseurs recommend lightly moistening the leaves with a little warm water before brewing. This allows the leaves to open up and develop their full aroma in a shorter steeping time.
