Oolong and Weight Loss

In a recent Q&A in “Tea Experience Quarterly Magazine,” a reader wished to know if claims that wu-long (oolong) tea helps to lose weight through burning fat were indeed true. The answer is yes, according to research both in lab animals and people. Why? It lessens the absorption of fat, increases matabolism, and helps breakdown fat because of polymerized polyphenols. Oolong tea has more of these polyphenols than any other kind of tea, including pu-erh which is often advertised as a diet tea.

Oolong is partially fermented tea, sometimes described as being between black and green tea. If you’ve ever ordered tea at a Chinese restaurant, you’ve probably had it. My personal favorite is peach-scented oolong.

You have a really relaxing and beautiful tea site. Thanks for the information about polymerized polyphenolsin oolong tea. http://drchongswulongtea.info/

I Love you girls

Buy

We, Chinese know that Oolong tea has great benefits. We would always drink it with our meals , as it just refreshes the body.

Oolong and green Tea are great.

If you'd like to try Oolong Tea we're offering a free sample including shipping. :)

Unfortunately it's only available to the US right now but you don't have to give your credit card, agree to future purchases or receiving products, etc. Basically - we're just trying to get people to taste the various types of teas so I'd ask that you use the opportunity to order something you haven't had before.

You can order off our free sample page at http://www.zhitea.com/TeaSampleProgram/ChooseSampleTea.aspx.

Note: we're in the process of removing the "free sample with purchase" info. That's not part of the promotion I've linked to here so you can ignore it - the running promotion is the one at the top.

nice site with useful info, didn't know much of tea's benefits, thank you

Yes I am living proof that the wu long tea does work. You can loose a lot of weight in a short about of time and it does cleanse the body


The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
