Combining elements of green and black tea processes, Oolong
tea is semi-fermented. The processing of this tea keeps
moisture within the leaves for a longer period of time than the green tea leaves.
After wilting, the usually larger, older leaves are carefully
rolled around on rattan trays in order to "bruise"
their outer edge. The black outer and green inner parts of the
leaf give this tea its characteristic qualities. The flavor is
usually a light brown and can sometimes reveal a slight fruity
taste. Quality Oolong teas have been brewed up to
10 times but produce a full body taste and aroma.
Oolong teas almost have no trace of bitterness and generally have a stronger aroma than almost any black or green tea. Like dark chocolate , oolong tea is rich in antioxidants known as poly phenols, which are good for cardiovascular health and an overall sense of well being.
Oolongs are prized teas sought out for their unique character.
Oolong teas are made by allowing the leaves to partially oxidize before and during drying. The flavor and aroma of tea varies with soil, climate, method of drying and storage, much as wine grapes vary.
Oolong teas, also known as Wu Long are higher than green tea in caffeine and contain among the highest concentration of antioxidant polyphenols. Oolong teas should be steeped in 185 degree (F - 85 degree C) water for two minutes.[4] Oolong teas are second in caffeine potency next to black teas. They're darker than green and white teas but lighter than black teas.[5] Oolong teas are made from larger, more mature leaves and buds. These tougher leaves oxidize more slowly allowing the tea crafter to carefully monitor the level and rate of oxidation, bringing the process to a halt at that exact point on the tea spectrum that defines his or her intended tea.[6]
Oolong teas are distinct in that they are semi-fermented (or partially
oxidized) to give a tea with characteristics between that of a green tea and a black tea and having a fresh yet sophisticated taste. They are smoother than black tea yet less grassy than green teas.[7] Oolong teas are mainly produced in mainland China and Taiwan . The Darjeeling region of India is now producing some very fine oolongs.[8] Oolong teas are often served after a big meal because it helps to decrease absorption of fats and bad cholesterol. It is good for
Hypertensive patients and patients with skin problems.[9]
Oolong teas are bruised to begin the fermentation process and then fashioned into a ball using a cloth sack. They are shaken or tumbled regularly during the fermentation process and checked regularly so that they are allowed to ferment just the right amount of time.[16]. One of the more popular and famous of the Oolong teas is T'ieh Kuan-yin, known as Iron Buddha.[17] Oolong teas are an appealing choice for tea drinkers looking for a tea not quite as strong as a black tea but
less vegetal in taste than a green tea.
