Oolong Tea

What is Oolong Tea?

Oolong tea is one of the most popular teas produced today. All tea is made from the same plant (Camellia Sinensis), but differs in the fermentation process. Oolong tea lies somewhere between green and black tea in oxidation, but its taste is closer to green tea without green tea's bitter grassy flavor.

Why is Oolong a Weight Loss Tea?

Oolong is a weight loss tea because of its natural ingredients. Okuma's Wu-Long brand of Oolong tea has a high concentration of polyphenols, which studies at the University of Tokushima suggest help your body to burn more calories and contribute to weight loss. Oolong tea also has caffeine, which studies have shown to increase metabolism, therefore also contributing to weight loss. The amount of caffeine, however, in Oolong tea is about half of that in green tea, yet research tells us that Oolong tea burns over twice the amount of calories than green tea. The study attributes this to the concentration of polyphenols in Oolong tea.

Oolong Tea Varieties

There are different varieties of Oolong tea, just as there are different varieties of wine. Oolong tea ranges in price due to quality. You may find cheaper versions of Oolong weight loss tea online or even in drug stores, but these teas are equivalent to a boxed wine, whereas Okuma's Wu-Long tea is equivalent to a Cabernet you'd find at a five star restaurant.
