Oolong tea, also known as green tea and semi-fermented tea, is named after its founder. There is also a magical legend about the appearance of oolong tea. According to legend, during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a tea farmer and an expert hunter in Nanyan Village, Xiping Township, Anxi County, Fujian Province. His name is Su Long. Because he is black and strong, the villagers call him "Oolong". One spring, Oolong hung a tea basket around his waist and went up the mountain with a shotgun to pick tea. At noon, a landscape deer suddenly slipped by, and Oolong raised his gun to shoot, but the injured landscape deer desperately fled to the mountain, followed by Oolong, and finally caught the prey. It was already evening when the landscape deer was carried home. Oolong and his family were so busy slaughtering and tasting game that they completely forgot to make tea. The next morning, when the whole family remembered it, they didn't expect the fresh leaves that had been left overnight to be inlaid with red edges, emitting bursts of fragrance. The tea leaves made are particularly fragrant and have no bitter taste. So, after repeated experiments and careful consideration, after withering, shaking, semi-fermentation, baking and other processes, oolong tea, a new tea product with good quality, was finally made. It is a unique tea among several major teas in China. Oolong tea combines the production methods of green tea and black tea, and its quality is between the two. It has both the rich flavor of black tea and the fragrance of green tea. When brewing this kind of tea, it will be found that the edge of the leaf bottom is reddish brown due to fermentation, while some of it still maintains its natural light green color, forming a peculiar "red edge of the green leaf bottom" and attractive orchid fragrance. Oolong tea is characterized by a long aftertaste, resistance to brewing, and the effect of dissolving fat and helping digestion. It is known as a good product for bodybuilding and losing weight.
