What does OOLONG mean in Scrabble?
noun
A variety of Chinese tea whose leaves are partly fermented before drying, giving a flavour between green and black tea.
Oolong is made by withering and bruising the tea leaves so that oxidation begins, then stopping the process partway through before the leaves darken fully, unlike black tea, which is allowed to oxidize completely. This partial fermentation gives oolong a flavour that sits between the grassy taste of green tea and the stronger, darker taste of black tea. Different regions of China and Taiwan produce oolongs that range from light and floral to dark and roasted.
