Hi umeshthapa! I was given oolong tea in tin can a few months back by a friend of mine who visited Taiwan that time. It is really good and has a strong aroma. It can help burn fat built up in the body, that's what my friend say and that is what i remember when I read the label. However, i didn't keep the tin can or the storage of the Oolong Tea so I can't give you a photo. I have already consumed it all several weeks ago.
Take care and have a great day!

Oolong is the correct way to spell this sort of tea. It is considered one of the most famous teas in the world. That is because of it's half-fermented nature Chinese oolong tea is half way between green tea and black tea.
It is as clear and fragrant as green tea and as refreshing and strong as black tea. Some people say, if you drink oolong, the natural aroma may linger into your mouth and make your throat much comfortable. So all in all you can literally say, it is very soothing especially for those who have colds. Try it with some honey and lemon and you're bound to feel better real soon!
Sorry no pictures to provide. It is a lighter shade of regular tea, though.
Hope I've helped you.

Oolong Tea is half way between green tea and black tea in a sense that it's half- fermented. It's also called "Qing Cha" (grass tea). Typical Oolong Tea leaves are green in the middle and red on the edges as a result of the process to soften tea leaves.
Oolong Tea leaves are withered and spread before undergoing a brief fermentation process. Then Oolong Tea is fried, rolled and roasted.
Oolong Tea is the chosen tea for the famous Kung Fu Cha brewing process. It's the serious Chinese tea drinker's tea. Aroma ranges from light to medium. Beginners in Oolong Tea should be careful as even though flavor is only mild to medium, the tea could be very strong.
