Oolong Tea
is one of the most time-consuming teas to create. It undergoes all of the five basic steps, with rolling and oxidising done repeatedly. Oolong is a complex category because it is so broad: it is most simply described as half-way between green and black, and that's quite accurate. These teas are anywhere from 8% oxidised to 80% (measured roughly by looking at the amount of brown or red on the leaf while the tea is being made). The leaves are rolled, then allowed to rest and oxidise for a while. Then they will be rolled again, then oxidised, over and over. Often, gentle heat is applied to slow the enzymes down a bit. Over the course of many hours (sometimes days), what is created is a beautiful layering or "painting" of aroma and flavour. Oolongs typically have much more complex flavour than Green or White teas, with very smooth, soft astringency and rich in floral or fruity flavours. Because of their smooth yet rich flavour profiles, Oolongs are ideal for those new to tea drinking.
