Oolong is a dry fermented tea that has similar anti-oxident capacity to green tea while being much a smoother drink. In china it is traditional to rebrew Oolong 4 or 5 times as the later brews have more Theanine in them. I've been drinking Oolong for decades now by far my favorite. I now brew it on top of Yerba Mate. A friend recommended the mate as it he claims it reduces Caffeine jitters but a quick search says it doesn't have theanine.
