Oolong tea is not to be confused with green tea, or black tea. Oolong teas can be some of the most intriguing and complex of all brews. To produce oolong, the leaves are left to wilt naturally, but the moisture content is reduced until only the outer edges of the leaves have dried. The tea is then fired to stop this oxidation, rolled and dried. Purists say to brew oolongs properly, the gong fu method should be used. We say, just enjoy.

These teas are extraordinary. From the Yunnan Province in China, Pu-erh teas can be loose leaf or compressed in cakes. After the withering process the leaves are allowed to rot to produce a bacteria. Prized for their medicinal qualities, these teas are aged - up to 20 to 30 years for some of the finest - producing a very earthy, even musty brew.
