==Possible origins== There are three widely espoused explanations of the origin of the name of Oolong tea.<ref name="RG">{{cite web |last=Goodness |first=Richard |date=June 1, 2006 |title=The Basics of Brewing Oolong |url=http://www.teamuse.com/article_060601.html |website=TeaMuse}}</ref>{{Better source needed|date=November 2024}} According to the "tribute tea" theory, oolong tea came directly from Dragon-Phoenix Tea Cake tribute tea. The name oolong tea replaced the old title when loose tea came into fashion. Since it was dark, long, and curly, it was called "Black Dragon" tea, leading to the Oolong name.
