Wu Yi - Weight Loss Facts
By Alyssa
Collins
This tea has been getting a lot of press lately so
let's get it straight!
This wu yi tea is no
different than wu long tea which is basically the same as oolong tea.
Wu Yi simply stands for the mountainous region in
China where this characteristically dark rich tea is grown. Wu yi teas tend
to be fully browned and very robust - almost coffee like when described by
serious tea drinkers.
The health benefits and calorie burning properties
of wu yi teas are the same as wu long and oolong teas.
A substance called "Polyphenol" in wu yi tea is
known to effectively control obesity. Specifically speaking, it activates
the enzyme that is responsible for dissolving triglyceride. It basically
speeds the metabolism - the result - you burn more calories.
So as a weight loss aid, wu yi tea has been
researched and the findings have been documented. Please note, many studies
on wu long tea have been conducted so the findings apply to wu yi as well.
It's just marketing and repackaging a popular tea
under a different name. The reputable online tea outlets have been selling
tea from the Wu Yi region for years - it's nothing new.
The beauty of wu yi / wu long / oolong tea is that
the unique fermenting process creates a delightful variety of tastes and
aromas that don't fall into one distinct category.
Specific types of wu yi tea can vary considerably in
price. There are many! The chemical make up is basically the same but the
complexity of taste will be different. The aroma, astringency, body,
toastiness, and fullness, to name a few all vary significantly between types
of wu yi teas. Like wines, the more complex the taste the higher the price
(usually per oz in loose leaf tea).
Also a word about ingredients in tea...Reputable
loose-leaf tea distributors that sell wu yi / wu long / oolong add nothing
to the tea. It is a purely natural substance with nothing man made or added.
Why not peruse a good selection of online wu yi teas
to find one that sounds tasty to you?
Most quality online tea vendors that have been in business many years are
excellent regarding tea taste descriptions. Experiment and develop your
palette, try drinking it with no additives (cream sugar etc..) as these will
alter the anti oxidant properties.
