Health Benefits:

A study published in 2003 in the Journal of Medical Investigation by entitled “Oolong Tea Increases Energy Metabolism in Japanese Females” which studied the effects of Wu-Long tea drinking on women showed a high correlation of weight loss after wu-long tea consumption.
The actual study group was 120 Japanese women who drank Oolong tea for 6-weeks as opposed to traditional green tea, typically after a meal
What the study found was that the women who consumed the wu-long tea directly after the meal increased energy expenditure by 10% . The energy expenditure of women who consumed the traditional green tea was only 4% and those who drank water was 0.
Unlike artificial “fat burners,” Oolong is natural and nourishing to your health. Many users report feelings of increased focus and well-being. Keep in mind, Wu-Long does contain caffeine, about as much as a cup of green tea but less than a cup of coffee.

    would say it has a well rounded taste. It has a smooth texture with a sweet and balanced flavour. It did not leave my mouth coated and I could feel my tongue soft after drinking it. The aftertaste is aromatic and effervescent; I could almost feel the steam in my nose.

  2. Viraaf Sen

    It has a great taste and very pleasant aroma. I would suggest steeping it for not more than three minutes as it can turn bitter. I could make many cups from one teaspoon of tea. I found it to be a strong, invigorating cup of tea. I have replaced my morning coffee with this new, wonderful Oolong, and I am going to continue ordering it monthly.
