Wu Long Tea

Wulong Tea is such an incredible product and well worthwhile implementing in your daily routine.This well known Chinese Tea made a famous appearance on Oprah with Dr Oz. WuLong Tea (also called Oolong Tea) is partially oxidized; in taste it is more like green tea than black tea and is usually drunk without milk. In recent times there have been some incredible claims for the properties of Wu long tea and not just about weight loss. According to some it lessens signs of aging, increases energy levels, improves your teeth, even reduces hair loss, is beneficial to improves the immune system…the list continues. This is a truly amazing product and well worth sourcing to bring into your life’s every day routine. Find some on the net or simply go to your local Asian speciality store. Research so far has indicated that Wulong Tea boosts the metabolic rate and definitely assists with slimming and weight loss. A Japanese journal claims that this tea can increase the body’s ability to burn fat.

This declaration has increased the demand of Wulong Tea, and it is meant to be scarce in supply. Green tea and black tea come from the same plant, Camelia sinensis; the differences in taste and colour are due to the way the leaves from the plant are processed. Wulong Tea tends to be an in between colour…more brown with the higher quality teas showing tinges of green. Wulong Tea also has less caffine than green tea but both teas have similar, incredible properties.They are both full of anti-oxidants. This remarkable product can be easily found at most Asian supermarkets. Despite the rumours, WuLong Tea is not overly expensive but it does vary in quality. Wulong Tea is more flavoursome and beneficial as a loose leaf tea as opposed to tea bags.

Wu Long Tea is very affordable and well worth finding. Whether you buy from the internet, at a tea house or an Asian Speciality store you will not be disappointed. The price varies according to quality. I find you can purchase a weeks supply for around $5 Australan. That is loose leaf and I would drink around 6 cups per day. I also paid the same price for a higher quality Wulong Tea and receive 10 tea bags ! The quality was definitely noticeable. Buy a few brands and find your own way. I now drink more Wu Long Tea than I do coffee…now that can’t be a bad thing..
