Oolong tea offer an experience that differs from those of black or green tea.  Undergoing less oxidation than black tea, it produces a more delicate beverage reminiscent of a green but with some body and fruity, floral characteristics.  In most cases, the leaves may be infused more than once producing a different experience with each infusion.  Oolongs range from bright green and slightly fermented to dark-leafed and hearty. The greener varieties are less fermented and one can see the slight withering and browning of the edges where the leaves were allowed to oxidize. These edges are bruised through shaking to assist the process of oxidation. The tea is then dried fully; locking in the rich flavors that oolong tea is known to offer. Oolong’s unique drying process creates a tea that has many metabolic stimulating attributes and can be used for weight management when used in addition to a well balanced diet.
