Oolong is a traditional Chinese tea (Camellia sinensis) produced through a unique process including withering under the strong sun and oxidation before curling and twisting. Most oolong teas, especially those of fine quality, involve unique tea plant cultivars that are exclusively used for particular varieties.The degree of fermentation can range from 8% to 85%,depending on the variety and production style. This tea category is especially popular with tea connoisseurs of south China and Chinese expatriates in Southeast Asia,as is the tea preparation process that originated from this area: gongfu tea-making, or the gongfu tea infusion approach.---quote from Wikipedia
