Oolong Tea comes mainly from China and Taiwan. After the leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant are picked and withered, they are processed through careful drying, rolling and steaming, followed by a short period of oxidation that turns the leaves from green to a reddish brown. In terms of oxidation and flavour, Oolong Tea is somewhere between a Green and Black Tea. Oolong teas produce a crisp, clean, refreshing cup and a smooth even taste. Oolong can also be referred to by its original Chinese name, Wu Long, which translates to “dark or black dragon”. Recently, Oolong or Wu Long Tea has been highly praised for its numerous health benefits including it’s ability to assist in weight loss and lower blood cholesterol. Whether you say Oolong or Wu Long, this sought after variety of tea is full of incredible health benefits that will help you on your journey to wellness.
