Oolong tea is a semi-fermented tea produced through a process of withering, oxidation, and twisting. It undergoes partial oxidation between 10 to 85 percent. A cup of oolong tea contains 15-30% of the caffeine in coffee, making it a healthier alternative with minimal side effects. When brewing oolong tea, draining the first 30 seconds of brew removes 80% of the caffeine while enhancing the flavor.
