Different varieties of oolong are processed differently, but the leaves are formed into one of two distinct styles. Some are rolled into long curly leaves, while others are 'wrap-curled' into small beads, each with a tail. The former style is the more traditional of the two.

The name ''oolong tea'' came into the English language from the Chinese name (烏龍茶), meaning "black dragon tea". Other possible descriptions are "blue tea" or "semi-fermented tea" (although it's oxidized and not fermented).
