So far we have gone over three of the four main groups of tea. Today we are going to talk about the finally group called Oolong. Click on the picture above to find out about Oolong health benefits.

This was actually my first time having an Oolong tea and I was quite impressed with the flavor. Although I will at some point have to try an Oolong without any other flavors added.
For those of you that don’t know, Oolong is a traditional Chinese tea that tends to be somewhere between green and black tea when oxidized. It has more of the green tea flavor but darker black tea color; however, it does not contain the grassy notes that green tea generally has. There are many different varieties of Oolong, just depending on where it’s harvested from and of course how it’s processed.
Yeah, that Oolong isn't vegetal but is floral or fruity. But it's because it's a "green Oolong" where there are also darker ones that are roasted and oxidized more.
