hello oolong

What is oolong? Oolong is a tea that is made from the same plant as green and black tea. The difference being how long it's fired or roasted. But because oolong tea comes from the same plant, it too has many health benefits such as weight loss, lowering cholesterol, etc.

A little history:

Oolong tea originated in the Fujian Province of China where is thought that it was first produced at Mt Wu Yi Shan about 400 years ago at the end of the Ming dynasty. The tea is now made in China and Taiwan as the growers who colonized Taiwan took the traditions of oolong tea to their new country. Taiwanese oolong tea is often called Formosa oolong as, hundreds of years ago, the country was called Ilha Formosa (meaning Beautiful Island ).

Oolong tea has been a wonderful addition to the tea family as the smooth mellow taste of the Formosa oolong is great for the afternoon or as a dessert tea.
