ArabiaWeather - Oolong tea (black tea), which is grown in China, is very popular around the world thanks to its unique taste and therapeutic properties. Black and green tea are produced from the same basic ingredient, but each type is processed separately, where oxidation occurs that changes the color and taste of the tea. During the oxidation process, green pigments in the leaves are unlocked, giving the tea its dark color and strong flavour. Brewing time affects the properties of tea, as over-fermentation can lead to changes in flavour, color and strength, while it can increase the level of nutritional content. Green tea contains catechins, while black tea can lose some of it due to oxidation. Also known as “fully brewed,” black tea has a complex and strong taste compared to green tea. In addition, fermentation releases theaflavins, which are antioxidants exclusive to oxidized tea.
