What You Need to Know

Okuma's President, Stormy Brettmann-Skogg, says: "Buyer Beware of Internet Scams!"

Okuma Nutritionals, LLC was the first company to bring Wu-Long Premium Chinese Slimming Tea to the U.S. market in 2005. Since that year, we are proud to say that over 400,000 people have enjoyed the taste and health benefits of our authentic Wu-Long brand tea.

Okuma has always taken pride in the quality of our Wu-Long Tea brand and in the service we provide our customers. When demand for the product increased at a rapid rate, we went back to our growers in China and increased production, while always preserving the quality and process.

The Downside of Success
The success of our Wu-Long tea and our rapid growth came with a cost. While the Internet has grown in wonderful ways, it has also opened the door for hundreds of thousands of companies preying on people through Internet scams.

Since weight loss is a multi-billion dollar industry, it was only a matter of time before copycat companies appeared to deceive people out of their hard earned money. Not only are unsolicited spam emails from companies annoying, they present false information, touting the amazing (but usually unsubstantiated) health benefits of weight loss products - and often failing to mention the potential side-effects.

A number of companies have realized Okuma's brand of all-natural Wu-Long Slimming Tea was seeing success, helping people lose weight and stay healthy, and have since jumped on the bandwagon.

The M.O. of these companies is to launch websites that appear to be the original wulongforlife.com website by copying our website's content, including our 100% real customer testimonials, then pasting this information on their own website and begin taking online orders.
We've found that the imitation doesn't stop with the website, but that a number of companies have been obtaining lower grade oolong tea, leading customers to believe it is the Okuma brand of quality Wu-Long Tea, and then selling it at a substantial mark-up.

Okuma coined the name Wu-Long when we launched our company in 2005, and we are in the process of working to protect the trade name and the brand we built. We have taken legal action against a number of fraudulent companies as well who are not only deceiving the public but are tainting our good name and reputation.

While this takes place, the abundance of copycats out there (and their ability to keep their identity secret on the internet, or to switch websites quickly) is making that difficult. For now, I just want to stress that if you hear your friend or neighbor talking about Wu-Long tea  odds are they are talking about us. We were the first to bring you this tea. We coined the name and built the brand. We have proudly served over 400,000 customers. None of our competitors even come close.

Ensuring Our Customers Aren't Deceived
Internet scams have taken millions of dollars from the pockets of many people, and the best way to avoid being taken is to become educated so you know what to avoid.

Okuma also wants to spread this information so that you are able to discover the wonderful health benefits our brand of oolong tea has to offer, and won't be turned off by the purchase of lesser quality, imposter teas available online.

Our company welcomes healthy competition and we are confident that our high-quality tea, our commitment to customer service, our longstanding reputation, and our huge customer base will allow our company to enjoy continued growth, which includes the introduction of new products to the market.

However, to protect you the consumer and to help keep our good reputation intact, we wanted to inform you about the conduct of some of the companies that have questionable business practices, and the consumer has paid the price. Okuma believes it is important to pass along our experiences with these companies so consumers can make an informed decision as to where to purchase their tea.

Thank you for reviewing this information and staying informed. We at Okuma believe that anyone taking a hard look at what has been presented will ultimately decide to purchase high-quality Wu-Long Premium Chinese Slimming Tea from Okuma. We encourage you to look around, and of course email us with any questions you might have.

Please know that Okuma Nutritionals takes pride in our level of customer service and we do everything we can to ensure an easy and satisfying buying experience; one that also includes satisfaction with our product through our money-back guarantee. We hope this information helps to resolve any confusion with other companies claiming to sell Okuma's Wu-Long Premium Chinese Slimming Tea.

On behalf of the entire Okuma family, we wish you the best in health and life,

Stormy Brettmann-Skogg
