Tea (Camellia sinensis): Oolong Tea
Last Updated: Jun. 28, 2010
Oolong tea is widely consumed in China and Taiwan, and it is often served in Chinese restaurants in the United States.
The caffeine content of oolong tea varies widely. Some oolongs have very low caffeine content among teas.
Oolong teas are very diverse and range from light, floral and vegetal greenish oolongs to richer, darker oolongs more similar to black tea, with all sorts of styles in between as well. Although it is difficult to generalize, oolong teas tend to have a more mellow flavor as compared to either green or black teas. Pouchong or bao zhong is usually considered to be the lightest (least oxidized) oolong. There are numerous darker oolongs; one of the most well-known is oriental beauty.
Oolong-like teas: Some other teas are partially oxidized but are not classified as oolongs due to a fundamentally different production process. Teas with oolong-like characteristics include darker white teas like shou mei, and lighter black teas, including some Darjeeling first flush.
