Oolong
More famous as Chinese tea, the name ‘oolong’ also has its origin there, in ‘wu long’ or ‘black dragon’. Its origins come in unconfirmed stories, one of a tea grower named Wu Long who forgot to process his pick one day. The leaves began to naturally wilt and oxidize. When Wu Long found them the next day, he decided to process them mildly and found himself with a brew that was similar to the black tea but smoother, sweeter and more fragrant. Originally cultivated in China, Oolong teas are now produced in many countries around the world like India, Sri Lanka, Japan, Thailand, and New Zealand.
