What is Wu Yi Tea?

Mos tea comes from the same type of plant, the Camellia Sinensis. The process that produces a tea’s great taste is the fermentation process. Wu Yi tea, also called Wu-long or oolong, is a partially fermented tea that is somewhere between the green and black tea families. The tea is partially oxidized in the sun, where it’s dried. This gives it more mass than green tea but less than black tea. Wuyi tea has the largest amount of polyphenols of any tea because of how it’s fermented.

Wu Long tea is grown in in the southern regions on China, specifically in Taiwan and the Fujian province. The demand for Oolong tea has spiked since early 2004 or late 2003 when studies went public about the heatlh and weight loss benefits of drinking WuYi. The rumors existed of the teas ability, but it hadn’t been proven until then.

Essentially, wu-long wu-yi tea has the best qualities of all teas, combined. It has great taste, yet it also has the ability to boost your metabolsim for wieght loss.

Wu Yi Tea

For five centuries, many people in Asia have used wu-yi tea for its many medical benefits. The tea itself is named for the Wu Yi Mountains where it is grown. The mountains are located in southern China. The Wu Yi tea is more commonly known by the name of Wu Long or Oolong tea and has received a lot of press for its ability to help the drinker lose weight.

The fermenting process gives this tea a different, distinct flavor that has a strong aroma. Many have described it similar to coffee because of its deep, rich taste. Wu-Yi tea is natural and fat-burning. Wu-Yi has a substance called polyphenol in it that stimulates lipolysis, a process that breaks down fat and burns calories. This activates enzymes that help you lose weight, increase your metabolic rate, and burns fat.

Case studies and research has been done on whether wu yi tea can burn fat. In most wu yi case studies, participants lost an average of 10 to 20 pounds by drinking 2 to 4 cups of tea per day. The amount of weight you’ll actually lose will depend on what other kind of food you’ll eat and how much physical activity you participate in. However, results from these studies and others show that the tea does increase your ability to lose weight and will speed up the process. There was one study in which three groups of 120 Japanese woman participated. One group drank water, one group drank wu-yi tea, and one group drank green tea. At the end of the six weeks of the study, the wu-yi tea increased everyone’s metabolism by 10%, the green tea increased it by 4%, and the water didn’t increase it at all. As was shown by the study, wuyi tea was the most effective for burning fat naturally.

Wu-Yi tea is 100% natural and has no additives. Additionally, wuyi tea has other health benefits. AS you already know, wu yi tea burns fat, boosts your metabolism, and aids in weight loss; it also helps prevent certain types of cancer, reduces the risk of heart attack, strengthens bones, and protects teeth from decay and plaque.

As you may now know, wuyi tea has been used for several hundreds of years in China and has been constantly and consistently used for its health benefits and weight loss abilities.
