Wu Yi Tea: Oolong
Wu Yi tea is simply a form of the very famous Chinese tea system called Oolong. Wu Yi has become the most noticed of all these Oolong teas because it was featured on Oprah. So, what exactly is Oolong tea?
Oolong is basically a mixture between black and green tea. It has always been known as green tea, but in reality it is not. It does not quite have the sweet aroma of black tea or the grassy taste of green tea. Black tea does not have quite the nutritional values that green tea does, but the mixture keeps the taste sweet and full of great benefits.
Oolong is processed in two different ways. It can either be rolled into thin leaves, or it is crushed into a powder. The crushed method is really not used any longer, and the tea you will find on the market today is always rolled leaves.
Wu Yi Tea will continue to gain popularity as the most famous Oolong tea. You now know that Wu Yi really isn’t a 100% green tea at all, but also a mix with black tea. This is what gives it the great taste along with amazing health benefits.
