All About Tea — oolong tea

As we have discussed in other articles the world of tea is often divided into two groups: true teas and herbal teas. True teas are made from the camellia sinensis plant and contain naturally occurring caffeine. Herbal teas on the other hand are produced from non-camellia sinensis ingredients like hibiscus, rooibos, and lemongrass just to name a few. So just how much caffeine do all of these teas contain?

In the world of tea, there are few varieties as unique and exquisite as the fabled Oolong. The origins of Oolong tea are as mysterious and mystical as the tea itself. Many different stories exist that describe how Oolong may have come about.
