Loose Leaf Oolong Tea

Oolong is a traditional semi-oxidized Camellia sinensis (tea) leaf produced through a process including withering the plant under strong sun and oxidation before curling and twisting.  Oolong tea when dry is small and bb sized.after seeping the leaf unfurls and becomes a large full sized leaf. Oolong tea leaves can be re-seeped up to 5 times. Each time the leaves will produce a slightly different flavor profile. Proponents of Oolong tea claim that sipping Oolong tea may offer benefits for heart health, diabetes prevention, bone health, and weight loss, possibly due to the antioxidants thearubigins, theaflavins, and EGCG.
