Why is Oolong Tea Sweet?

Oolong tea contains a lot of polyphenols, which react with proteins to form an impermeable film on the surface of the tongue, temporarily blocking the tongue's sense of taste. When the film is broken, the tongue will have a slight sweet taste, which is the so-called astringency and sweetness. The tip of the tongue will feel very refreshing. Of course, this sweetness is more obvious in the throat and the root of the tongue, and you will often feel that saliva is constantly secreted, which is the so-called body fluid production.

Whether or not there is a sweet aftertaste is also a way to judge the quality of tea. If the tea is not very good, you will not have this feeling after drinking it. Instead, your tongue will feel numb and dry, and it will take a long time to recover. The longer this feeling lasts, the worse the tea is.
