Green Oolong tea

Green tea Oolong: what is the difference between classic green tea and green (light) Oolong?

Everyone knows what black and green tea is. But what about an intermediate, that is, semi-fermented variety, namely Chinese green tea Oolong? Agree, green tea Oolong is not known to every citizen of Ukraine. A pity! Its specific "character" and unique useful properties may be of interest to both black and green tea lovers. What is it about exclusivity? And where can I buy green Oolong tea in Kiev and Ukraine?

Oolong or oolong is not an individual tea type, but a whole small (slightly more than 30) group of semi-fermented teas grown in China. The raw material has the qualities of a black and green drink. Medium-fermented Oolong-exclusively leafy! No granulation, crushing, or small-leaf forms. It's all fake. Tea leaves of the "Chinese exclusive" are twisted into dense balls, which when brewed beautifully bloom into whole tea leaves. The appearance of raw materials-the edges are almost black, the middle is green. High-quality oolong does not contain sorinok, branches, or broken parts.

The climate conditions of the southern provinces of China are ideal for growing Oolong. They are divided into light (they are called Chinese green tea Oolong) and dark (they are confused with black (red) teas). Their production technology includes the following stages:

• Mature tea leaves are hand-picked and brought to tea factories.
• Raw materials are laid out in a thin layer on special cloths and dried in the open air for 4-6 hours.
• at night, it is removed to cool rooms, where it passes the stage of partial fermentation.
• In the morning, the raw material is dumped into centrifuges, where it is steamed at a temperature of 150°C. In 5 minutes, the leaf loses its shape, becoming sluggish.
• Then the sheet is subjected to a strong crushing at a special press machine for 10 minutes. During this time, the juice is released and the raw material is oxidized.
• The last stage is drying in cabinets and twisting the leaves into tight balls.

This is how green Oolong tea is born. Dark Oolong is subjected to 10-hour Smoking on weak charcoal. But, this is a completely different story…
