Oolong means semi-fermented. Oolongs are processed similar to black teas, but are given a shorter withering time, a light roll, and allowed to ferment only until the edges of the leaf start to turn brown. The tea is then fired arresting the fermentation process and capturing the character associated with oolong tea. A slight variance in any of these gives unique aroma, flavor, color and finish. This oolong is considered a long-fired oolong taking on bakey notes with a rich amber liquid. In Taiwan, making oolong tea is considered an art form and the legacy is passed from generation to generation.
