OOLOONG TEA (Wu-Long), meaning "black dragon tea" in Chinese, is a traditional tea that was first produced towards the end of the Ming dynasty, approximately 400 years ago. Partially "fermented" tea which is allowed to wither, then is partially oxidized and dried. Its color (ranging from 10% to 70% in oxidation) is between green and black. Most Oolongs are produced in China and Taiwan.
