The Teas

Oolong Teas (aka Wu Long Teas)

Oolong tea is semi-fermented which is one of the reasons why it has such a unique character. The semi fermentation gives the tea a little bit more body than a green tea but less body than a black tea. Health benefits include speeding up metabolism and burning calories (so it's a good slimmer's drink). Use 1 level or heaped teaspoon per cup. Infuse for 5-7 minutes. The tea leaves may be reinfused.
