Is Oolong Tea considered an Herbal tea or is it grouped with caffeinated teas like black tea, etc.? Also, what is the fundamental benefit of Uva Ursi leaf.Oolong tea is a semi-fermented type of tea, so it does belong to the "caffeinated teas". All varieties of tea – green tea, black tea, and oolong – are made from the same species of plant, the tea shrub, Camellia sinensis. Medicinally, Camellia sinensis is useful against diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis and gastroenteritis according to Deni Bown in her book, "Encyclopedia of Herbs & Their Uses" (available from Richters).
