Brewing greener oolongs
These are oolongs that have been subject to less oxidation and are not appreciably aged or roasted. The color of the dry leaves will generally be rather more on the green side than the brown side. Typical of these teas would be most Tie Guan Yin, most other teas from Anxi County in Fujian province, and most Taiwan oolongs (but not Bai Hao).

Brewing darker oolongs
These are oolongs that have been subject to more oxidation or significant aging and/or roasting. These would include aged or highly roasted Tie Guan Yin or Taiwan teas and most Yancha or Cliff Tea from the Wuyi mountains, such as Da Hong Pao or Golden Buddha.
Brewing Dan Cong oolongs
These teas are from Guangdong Province in the Feng Huang Mountains and require a brewing technique consisting of very short steeps.
