What is Loose Oolong Tea?

Loose Oolong Tea, like other teas, comes from Camellia Sinensis, and is processed as loose semi-fermented tea. There are two kinds of Loose Oolong Tea: Loose Green Oolongs and Loose Dark Oolongs. Loose Oolong Tea has 5 different grades, the first one being the highest in quality. Loose Oolong teas have been enjoyed as aperitifs in Chinese kiosks and restaurants ever since the time of the ancient Chinese. It is usually taken after a meal, and the Chinese take it in order to signify that the meal has officially ended. The Japanese drink the same tea, although not as ceremoniously as their Chinese counterparts do, but both drink it in order to assimilate the tea’s polyphenols which help against harmful free radicals.

Countries around the world have recognized the healing and rejuvenating effects of the Oolong tea, and have imported vast amounts from China. Some pharmaceuticals have included Oolong tea as part of their line up of diet supplements, but many agree that the best way to drink it is to boil a cup of the tea itself, assuring easy assimilation of the health-giving polyphenols found in the Oolong Tea.
