So, why Oolong? What is Oolong? My simple answer to the often-asked question of what Oolong is: Green tea is not oxidized at all and Black tea is fully oxidized. Oolong is semi-oxidized, so it tastes in between Green and Black tea. If it is less oxidized, it tastes akin to Green tea, and to Black if it is more oxidized.
