La Via del Te'. Special oolong

100 grams tin

Special oolong or wu long, literally black dragon, is a semi-oxidized tea (an intermediate category between green and black tea) produced mainly in fujian, China. Much appreciated for the remarkable, vegetal aroma and the harmonious and slightly fruity taste as well as for the fairly modest caffeine content. Oolong teas are traditionally prepared in China using the gonfu cha method and repeated infusions on the same leaves.
