Oolong tea falls right between green and black. It's only partially oxidized, so it never quite reaches the same stage as black tea.

Withering and Fermentation - Tea leaves are spread out in large groups and left to wither for four to five hours in sunlight, losing some of their moisture .

Firing – When the fermentation is half complete firing takes place.  Leaves are moved over charcoal fire quickly.

Sorting - The final process involves sorting the tea leaves by size and grade.
