oolong

English

Noun

oolong (countable and uncountable, plural oolongs)

  1. A partially fermented tea which combines the characteristics of green tea and black tea.
    • 1994, A. Varnam, ‎J. M. Sutherland, Beverages: Technology, Chemistry and Microbiology (page 187)
      Flavour and aroma of semi-fermented teas is dictated by the extent of fermentation and, for this reason, oolong has a considerably stronger flavour than pouchong, which undergoes a significantly shorter fermentation.
