Oolong Tea
Oolong tea also known as qingcha (Chinese: 青茶) or or "dark green teas" is a traditional semi-oxidized Chinese tea.Oolong tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, the same plant used to make other types of tea, such as green tea and black tea. However, the unique processing method used to produce oolong tea gives it a distinct flavor and aroma.
Oolong tea evolved from the tribute tea Dragon and Phoenix Cake (龙团凤饼) of the Song Dynasty (960–1279), and was created around 1725 (in the Qing Emperor Yongzheng period).Different varieties of oolong tea differ widely in flavor. The tea was initially produced only for local consumption but eventually became popular throughout China and beyond. Today, oolong tea is produced in many regions of China, including Fujian, Guangdong, and Taiwan.
The processing method used to make oolong tea involves withering, rolling, and partially fermenting the tea leaves. The degree of fermentation can vary depending on the specific type of oolong tea being produced, with some varieties more heavily fermented than others. This unique processing method gives oolong tea a complex flavor profile that is often described as floral, fruity, and earthy.
In addition to its distinctive flavor, oolong tea is also believed to have a number of health benefits. It is rich in antioxidants and has been shown to improve digestion, boost metabolism, and promote weight loss. Some studies have also suggested that drinking oolong tea regularly may help reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes.There are many varieties of Oolong tea in China, such as Tie Guan Yin (Iron Goddess), Da Hong Pao, Rou Gui, Phoenix Dan cong, Taiwan Dong Ding Oolong.
