Oolong tea is an ancient form of Chinese tea that is produced through a very unique process that involves withering the tea leaves under the rays of the sun, oxidation, curling and twisting it. This process is applicable for these tea leaves and for some selected variants in it. The range of oxidation of this tea varies from 8 percent to 85 percent. But again it depends on different varieties and categories. The flavor is slightly darker and richer as the leaves undergo a partial process of photosynthesis.
Usually this Oolong tea would resemble like a small ball of green color that unfurl during infusing with hot water. These leaves were grown in the Wu Yi Mountains of China and also Tie Guan province of Southern Fiji. Taiwan also is a leading producer of this tea especially the most fragrant dong ding and Pouchong varieties. These are very expensive types of this tea that are very popular among tea lovers. India, Vietnam and Darjeeling are also known for its tea leaves.
