Chinese Tea Class - Oolong Tea

  • Oolong is a class of tea as well as a kind of tea.
  • Oolong tea is half-fermented and thus is relatively thick in flavor.
  • Oolong tea is very popular in South-East China and Taiwan and also the most used tea for Kung Fu Cha.
  • You got to love this - Oolong is an emulsifier for fat and cholesterol. Like a savior for today's junk food eaters.
  • And since Oolong emulsifies, make sure you don't drink it with an empty stomach. You may feel like being punched in the stomach if you do so.
