Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this green tea and oolong tea. Folks keep talkin’ ’bout ’em, so I figured I’d share what I know, ya know, the way I see it.

Green Tea, the Powerful Stuff

Now, this green tea, they say it’s got all sorts of good stuff in it. More than that black tea, even. They call it “anti-somethin’ somethin’,” anti-oxy-dents, I think. Sounds fancy, huh? But what it means, from what I gather, is that it’s good for ya insides. Keeps things clean, I guess.

• It’s got this stuff called “poly-fee-nols” or somethin’ like that. Lots of it, they say. More than the black tea, that’s for sure.
• And then there’s these “cat-e-kins.” Sounds like little cats, don’t it? But they’re good for ya, these cat-e-kins. They fight off the bad stuff, keep ya healthy.
• Green tea, they don’t mess with it too much. Just pick the leaves and dry ’em out, I reckon. That’s why it’s so strong, so full of that good stuff.

So, if you want somethin’ to give ya a real kick in the pants, health-wise, this green tea is the ticket. That’s what they say, anyway. And I believe it, seein’ as how folks who drink it seem pretty spry.

Oolong Tea, the In-Between One

Now, this oolong tea, it’s a bit different. It ain’t as strong as the green tea, but it ain’t as weak as that black tea neither. It’s somewhere in the middle, see? They do somethin’ to it, let it sit out in the sun, I heard. Makes it kinda different.

They say oolong tea comes from China. That’s a long ways away, ain’t it? Guess they know a thing or two about tea over there. This oolong tea, it’s got its own flavor. Not as grassy as the green tea, but not as… I dunno… strong as the black tea. It’s just… different.

• They let this oolong tea sit out in the sun. For how long, I don’t know. But it changes it, makes it somethin’ else.
• This oolong tea, it’s got a flavor all its own. Some folks like it strong, some folks like it weak. It depends on how long they let it sit, I guess.
• They say it’s got “oxy-something” too, but not as much as the green tea. Maybe a little, maybe a lot, depends on how they make it.

So, if you want somethin’ a little different, somethin’ that ain’t too strong, ain’t too weak, then this oolong tea might be just right for ya. It’s got a taste all its own, and it’s still got some of that good stuff in it, just not as much as the green tea.

Green Tea or Oolong Tea? What’s a Body to Do?

Well, that’s the question, ain’t it? Green or oolong? Which one’s better? I reckon it depends on what you’re lookin’ for.

If you want the strongest stuff, the most “anti-somethin’ somethin’”, then you go for the green tea. It’s powerful, that’s for sure. But if you want somethin’ a little milder, somethin’ with a different taste, then you go for the oolong.

The way I see it, it’s like this: green tea is like a strong cup of coffee, gets ya goin’ right away. Oolong tea is like a nice cup of tea you sip on in the afternoon, takes its time. Both good, just different, ya know?

So, there ya have it. My two cents on this green tea and oolong tea. You try ’em both, see which one you like. That’s the best way to figure it out, I reckon. Don’t just listen to me, listen to your own body. It’ll tell ya what’s what.

And that’s all I have to say about that.
