Grown in the Fuijan province, these are semi-oxidised or "semi-green" teas with flavours varying from light and delicate to very strong. Se Zhong is a thick strong tea with colour but there are more light flavoured Oolongs such as Huan Jin Qui (Yellow Golden Flower), Shu Xian (Water Fairy), Da Hong Pao (Great Red Robe), Loui Gui (Meat Flower) and Wuyi Yan (Bohea Rock).

Oolong tea is often served in Chinese restaurants and should be taken without milk or sugar, since both dominate the natural delicate flavour.
