I don't like tea, except the kind they serve at Chinese restaurants, and that I only like with two or three little packets of sugar per teacup.

Around here, Chinese restaurants tend towards jasmine tea. If you care, you could ask someone who knows about tea what's typical in your area.

Jasmine oolong specifically? (I read once that oolong was the traditional kind of tea to drink after/during a Chinese meal, but haven't seen any sources for it.)

I don't know. It tastes flowery, is light-colored, and doesn't get bitter if it sits for a while.

Light-colored? Probably a kind of green, then; oolongs are usually pretty dark-colored (but on the other hand, greens can get bitter if they sit for a while).

It's possible that I don't leave jasmine tea that long.
