Teas & Mates / Oolong Tea

Oolong are teas where the oxidisation process has been stopped, either quickly for the lightest teas or at a late stage for the darkest ones. They present a wide range of intermediate flavours between the green and black teas (from floral and vegetal to caramelised and woody), and are perfect for re-infusing (gong fu cha). The number of infusions possible depends on the quality of the tea. They are also sometimes called blue-green, even if this colour only corresponds to the least oxidised of these teas.
