Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this oolong oolong tea, alright? It’s a kinda tea, ya know, like the stuff them fancy folks drink. But it ain’t just any tea, see?

What is this oolong oolong tea anyway?

Some folks say it’s Chinese tea, from way back when. They make it from the same plant as them black and green teas, but it’s different, you get me? They do somethin’ special to it, makes it…well, oolong-y.

Now, they got all sorts of stories about how this tea came about. One story says it was some kinda “tribute tea,” fancy stuff for the emperor or somethin’. They say it looked like little dragons, all rolled up tight. Oolong, wulong, wu-lung, whatever you call it, it’s all the same, just different ways of sayin’ it.

• It’s kinda like they take the leaves and let ’em sit out for a bit, not too long, not too short, just right.
• Then they roll ‘em up, sometimes into balls, sometimes not.
• And then they dry ‘em out. That’s how I understand it, anyway.

Is oolong oolong tea good for ya?

Well, some folks say it makes ya sharp, you know, like it wakes up your brain. They say it helps with all sorts of things, like bein’ too heavy, or havin’ too much sugar in your blood, or even that thing the kids get, whatchamacallit… aut… autism, yeah, that’s it. But, I dunno, seems like a lot of talk to me. I ain’t seen no real proof of it, ya know?

Don’t go thinkin’ it’s the same as coffee or them other teas, though. It’s got its own thing goin’ on. It’s got that… um… stuff in it that perks you up, but it ain’t the same, see? It’s different.

How to make oolong oolong tea?

Now, I ain’t no expert, but I seen folks makin’ it. You boil some water, not too hot, not too cold, just right. Then you put some of them tea leaves in a pot, or a cup, whatever you got. Pour the water over it, let it sit for a bit. How long? Well, that depends. Some folks like it strong, some folks like it weak. You gotta figure it out for yourself.

You can use a teapot, or just a cup. Some folks got fancy contraptions, but you don’t need all that. Just the tea and some hot water, that’s all you really need.

So, is oolong oolong tea worth tryin’?

Well, I reckon it is. It ain’t gonna cure ya of nothin’, but it tastes alright, and it might just wake ya up a bit. And who knows, maybe it’ll do ya some good. It ain’t gonna hurt ya, that’s for sure. So, go on, give it a try. What’s the worst that could happen?

Different types of oolong oolong tea:

Now, they got all sorts of different kinds, too. Some are light, some are dark, some are kinda in-between. It all depends on how they make it, I guess. I ain’t tried ‘em all, but I reckon there’s somethin’ out there for everyone.

And that’s about all I know about oolong oolong tea. It ain’t much, but it’s somethin’. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make myself a cup.
