All Tea comes from one plant, Camellia Sinesis, which is related to the evergreen family. There are 4 basic ways of processing the leaf which will become Black, Green, Oolong or White Tea.
The third way of processing teas is the Oolong tea method, which is a compromise between the black and green as the leaves are steamed then lightly fermented. Oolong Tea has about ½ the amount of caffeine as Black Tea and brews best in water from 180 - 210 degrees.
