Oolong (simplified Chinese: 乌龙; traditional Chinese: 烏龍; pinyin: wūlóng) is a traditional Chinese tea (Camellia sinensis) produced through a unique process including withering under the strong sun and oxidation before curling and twisting.<br/><br/> Most oolong teas, especially those of fine quality, involve unique tea plant cultivars that are exclusively used for particular varieties. 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.<br/><br/> Different varieties of oolong are processed differently, but the leaves are formed into one of two distinct styles.
