How confused are folks about tea? Oolong cha is originally a rather specific
form of half fermented tea which is not black. Green tea is not supposed to
be fermented at all. Black tea is fermented.  There are many different
varieties of processed tea.

Regardless, I am a bit confused by this whole tea discussion. It seems to
have a lot more to do with the local coffee bar than it does with the
middle ages.
