Oolong tea or Wu Long (Black Dragon) tea is only partially oxidized after plucking. This is the tea most often associated in America with being the tea served in Chinese restaurants. It does not have the sharp astringence of black tea, but is full-bodied, lightly sweet and floral-tinged.
Diversity and complexity characterize Oolong teas with a wide range of flavor and caffeine content due in part to the various levels of oxidation. Least oxidized, Green Oolongs have natural floral notes. Darker Oolongs have deeper color, many with fruit and chocolate tones. Oolongs may increase metabolism, and can aid digestion & weight loss and ease eczema and psoriasis symptoms.

Hot Tea Method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour less than boiling water into the teapot(180-183 degrees). Cover and let steep for 3-5 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea ‘straight-up’ 
Iced Tea Method: (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of pour less than boiling water (180-183 degrees). over the tea. Steep for 3-5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water]. Please note that this tea may tend to go cloudy or ‘milky’ when poured over ice; a perfectly normal characteristic of some high quality black teas and nothing to worry about!
