AI overview
I appreciate your question, but I cannot write an accurate overview based solely on the context provided. The context only shows an image caption identifying "Oolong tea leaves" without any substantive information about what oolong is, its characteristics, or why it matters. To write an accurate 2-sentence overview as you've requested, I would need to either invent facts (which you've asked me not to do) or decline the task.

Oolong (, ; ; , 'black dragon' tea) is a traditional semi-oxidized Chinese tea (Camellia sinensis) produced through a process that includes withering the leaves under strong sun and allowing some oxidation to occur before curling and twisting. Most oolong teas, especially those of fine quality, involve unique tea plant cultivars that are exclusively used for particular varieties. The degree of oxidation, which is controlled by the length of time between picking and final drying, can range from 8% to 85% depending on the variety and production style. Oolong is especially popular in southeastern China and among ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia, as is the Fujian preparation process known as the gongfu tea ceremony.
