You may enjoy oolong tea, and even go out of your way to buy oolong tea for your morning and evening cup. You know that it tastes great, but you might not know that there is quite a unique process used to create the oolong tea that you know and love.

Oolong bulk tea has a taste somewhere in the middle of the mildness of bulk green tea and the potency of full-bodied black tea. It reaches its peak of flavor through a fairly complex processing routine. The first step is that the tea is left out in the sun to dry or it is air dried to remove a certain amount of the moisture inherent in the tea leaves. It is next cooled in a covered area, after which it is tossed with the purpose of bruising the leaves, which aides in oxidation. The process of cooling and tossing occurs several times. Next, the leaves are heated in order to cause oxidation to cease. Oxidation happens when oxygen is applied to a surface, in this case the surface of the tea leaf, which causes the bruised areas on the leaf to turn brown.
