Oolong tea is made from the leaves of the tea plant like other teas. Most teas are made from the first two leaves at the tip of a branch, and some teas are made from the buds of tip leaves.
Oolong tea is distinct from others because of its distinct oxidation process. Oxidation is the process that turns green tea into black tea. Oolong is partially oxidized and is considered somewhere in the middle of green and black tea.
