Oolong Teas

Oolong tea is a partially oxidized tea, ranging both in oxidation levels and rolling style. Generally oolong teas are either rolled into long curly leaves or into small beads with spindly tails. Depending on oxidation levels and processing, oolong flavors range from green and fruity to woody and roasted. Oolong tea is noted for its health benefits, especially aiding in the digestion of a heavy meal.
