A traditional Chinese tea that is partially fermented, falling between green tea and black tea in color and flavor.
From Chinese 'wulong' (wu = black, long = dragon), literally 'black dragon tea.' The name became 'oolong' through English transliteration of Cantonese pronunciation.
Oolong tea has been tied to Chinese imperial tradition for centuries, and some legends say it was named after a man named Oolong who discovered it by accident—though that's probably just a charming story!
