Oolong Tea

Oolong teas are semi oxidized.  The large leaves can in a strip shape or rolled into a ball. Because of the different oxidation levels and the way the leaves are manipulated, there can be interesting and complex tastes that are derived.  The tastes can vary from one steeping to the next.
