What are the health benefits of Oolong tea?

Oolong teas are a class of teas, originating in China and now also grown elsewhere, which are intermediate in characteristics between green and black teas.
Oolong tea, like all tea from the Camellia sinensis plant, has a number of health benefits. However, some of these are backed by more solid science than others. There have been studies that have found that drinking oolong during or after a high-cholesterol meal lowers the intake of fat content in the blood. There are also some studies that it promotes healthy teeth, skin and bones. However, all tea seems to have similar health benefits and there is very little evidence to suggest that oolong is any more healthy or less healthy than other types of tea. It is likely that all teas have similar effects.

Can you buy Oolong Tea from a store?
Yes, but oolong tea is not as widely available in many parts of
the U.S.
Most supermarkets stock one or two brands of oolong teas, but
they are typically generic oolongs and are not of the highest
quality. Asian stores, especially those catering to a Chinese
customer base, typically carry oolong teas as oolong is popular in

sometimes sell oolong tea.
The best place to purchase oolong tea is a tea shop that
specializes in loose tea, if you are lucky enough to live near
one. There are also a large number of online retailers
selling oolong tea like tea-and-coffee.com/oolong-tea/c15. In most

Asked in Tea
What herbs are in oolong tea?
Oolong tea is a true tea, meaning that it is made
exclusively from the Camellia sinensis plant. Unless you are
buying a flavored oolong or a blend that contains both tea and
other herbs, oolong tea contains no plants other than the tea
plant.
What makes oolong tea special and distinct from other teas is
its production process. Unlike green tea, which is unoxidized, and
black tea, which is completely oxidized (turning the leaves black),
oolong tea is partially oxidized. This is accomplished by rolling
the leaves to bruise them, starting the process to make black
tea...but halting it by heating (usually roasting) before the
leaves have fully oxidized.
