What is the difference between black tea and oolong tea?

Drinking tea is a very elegant and comfortable lifestyle. After work, people can make a pot of tea and watch the fragrant tea rise up, emitting a refreshing aroma. A sip of the fragrant tea can leave a lingering fragrance in their mouths. Drinking tea regularly can also help lower blood lipids and scrape oil from the body, so many people like to drink tea. There are many types of tea in my country, including black tea, green tea, scented tea, oolong tea, etc. For some laymen, it may not be clear what is black tea and what is oolong tea, so the editor will briefly introduce:

Black tea: Black tea gets its name from its red tea soup color. Black tea is the opposite of green tea and is a fully fermented tea (fermentation degree is greater than 80%). The difference between black tea and green tea lies in the different processing methods. During the processing of black tea, the leaves are withered, causing them to lose some moisture. They are then rolled (rolled into strips or cut into granules) and then fermented to oxidize the tea polyphenols they contain and turn them into red compounds. Part of this compound is soluble in water, while part is insoluble in water, and accumulates in the leaves, thus forming red soup and red leaves. There are three main types of black tea: Lapsang Souchong black tea, Gongfu black tea and broken black tea.

The precious varieties include: Qihong, Dianhong and Yinghong.

Green tea: also known as oolong tea, it is properly fermented during production, causing the leaves to turn slightly red. It is a type of semi-fermented tea between black and green tea. Among the six major types of tea, Oolong tea has the most complicated and time-consuming process, and the brewing method is also the most particular, so drinking Oolong tea is also known as drinking Kung Fu tea. It has both the freshness of green tea and the sweetness of black tea. Because its leaves are green in the middle and red at the edges, it is called "green leaves with red edges".

The precious varieties include: Wuyi Rock Tea, Tieguanyin, Phoenix Dancong, and Taiwan Oolong Tea.

Black tea is a fermented tea with a hot nature. It is very suitable for drinking in winter, especially for people with weak stomachs. Drinking black tea in winter can stimulate the appetite, warm the stomach, nourish the stomach, and protect the stomach. Oolong tea is a semi-fermented tea, between black tea and green tea. It is a warm tea that is neither hot nor cold, and is suitable for drinking in autumn.
