Referred to as ‘semi-oxidized’.

A time-honoured tradition requiring craftsmanship. Oolongs are your in-between green and black teas, oxidized anywhere from 10% to 90%. Usually classified as light oolong (lightly oxidized) or dark oolong (more oxidized). So oolong is oxidized more than a green tea, but not fully, as in black tea.

An example of a lightly oxidized oolong is; Natural Milk Oolong (no milk involved!) and long oxidized oolong is: Wu Yi Rock.

Flavours of oolongs can vary tremendously depending on the length of oxidation, making this type of tea fun to explore.
