Oolong tea is a traditional Chinese tea. In Chinese language it means “black dragon tea.” It is commonly brewed to be strong, with the bitterness leaving a sweet aftertaste.
Oolong tea contains tea polyphenols which are thought to improve health, particularly catechins, the most abundant of which is epigallocatechin gallate. Unless specifically decaffeinated, oolong tea contains caffeine.
