There are many legends about the origin of oolong tea, and there are four possible sources: one is the origin theory; Second, it comes from tea varieties; Third, it comes from the name of the person who makes tea; Fourth, it comes from the shape and color of tea.
There is a story that a tea garden owner went to see the fast-drying tea and found an oolong there. He was frightened, and it was several days before he dared to come back to see it. Tea is oxidized in the sun these days. It is no longer green tea, but it is fragrant and delicious. The owner called it "oolong tea" from now on.
It is also said that the name of the person who first invented the method of making oolong tea was Su Long (because he was black, he was called Oolong), so tea was named after people.
