Oolong Teas

The word 'oolong' means 'black dragon' in Chinese, perhaps due to the long and large leaf that is typical of the oolong style. Defined as a 'semi-oxidized' tea leaf, oolongs range from greenish (non-oxidized) to almost black (fully oxidized).  The distinctive larger leaves allow for multiple infusions and provide a great middle ground between the full-bodied black and the lighter, more vegetal green.
