Taiwanese Oolong Tea
Taiwanese oolong tea can be broadly classified into three categories: "lightly fermented oolong tea" such as Wen Shan Bao Zhong and High Mountain tea, "heavily fermented tea" such as Muzha Tie Guan Yin, and "muscatel flavor oolong tea" such as Oriental Beauty and Mi Xiang High Mountain tea.
