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.
