Most herbs can and are used for teas (infusions) however not all of them taste all that great. As long as an herb can be taken internally without harm to the person consuming it, then it can be made into a tea.

Some of the better know include Chamomile, Purple cone flower, Rosehip, Lavender, Bee balm, Mint, Sage, Melissa (lemon-balm), and Feverfew.

Oolong tea is a true tea, meaning that it is made exclusively from the Camellia sinensis plant. Unless you are buying a flavored oolong or a blend that contains both tea and other herbs, oolong tea contains no plants other than the tea plant.

What makes oolong tea special and distinct from other teas is its production process. Unlike green tea, which is unoxidized, and black tea, which is completely oxidized (turning the leaves black), oolong tea is partially oxidized. This is accomplished by rolling the leaves to bruise them, starting the process to make black tea...but halting it by heating (usually roasting) before the leaves have fully oxidized.
