What is Oolong Tea?

Oolong is neither a black tea nor a green tea, it falls into its own category of tea. Yet an oolong may end up with more black tea characteristics or more green tea characteristics depending on the direction the tea master takes in the processing of the tea.

Preparing Hot Oolong Herbal Tea

• Use about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per 8 oz. cup of water is a safe bet.
• Oolongs are steeped anywhere between 180 and 200 degrees for 60 seconds to 3 minutes.
• Cover your oolong tea while it steeps to keep all the heat in the steeping vessel.
• The taste is a lot like wine, the flavor can range from light to full-bodied, floral to grassy, and sweet to toasty
