Why Is Wu Yi Tea So Special?June 25, 2008 on 7:32 pm | In wu yi tea |The secret behind Wu Yi tea is that it is full of catechin polyphenols. In particular Wu Yi and Wu Long tea is rich in epigallocatechin gallate which is also known as EGCG. EGCG is best known for its anti-oxidants contained within it. EGCG also has the ability to prevent the growth of cancer cells, kill cancer cells, and it accomplishes these amazing things without harming any healthy cells within your body. Wu Yi tea is highly effective at lowering LDL cholesterol levels. This process also inhibits the abnormal formation of blood clotting. French Red Wine contains high levels of resveratrol which is a polyphenol that prevents any negative effects of smoking cigarettes and having a high-fat-diet. In a recent 1998 study over at the University Of Florida, researchers came to the conclusion that EGCG which is found in high quantities in the following tea: Wu Yi Tea, Wu Long Tea, Oolong Tea, and Green tea. The EGCG in the Wu Yi tea was found to be at least twice as powerful as resveratrol which was found in the french red wine. Why does only Wu Yi, Wu Long, and Green tea have these amazing health properties? Oolong, Wu Yi and green tea are all made from the leaves of a special plant: Camellia Sinensis plant. Another major factor that sets Wu Yi tea apart from the rest is that manner in which Wu Yi tea leaves are processed. Wu Yi tea leaves are steamed which allows the EGCG compound found in the Wu Yi leaves to be protected from the oxidizing effects. In contrast your normal tea that you can purchase at any supermarket do not have these special abilities and are NOT effective in preventing and diseases, and do not make you healthier. Can Wu Yi tea be harmful to me? As of today there are absolutely no negative side effects from drinking Wu Yi tea. The only possible thing that Wu Long tea and Oolong tea can harm your body is through insomnia. This is only due to the fact that some Green tea’s and Wu long tea’s contain caffeine. But it is a scientific fact that the majority of tea’s out there contain much less caffeine that coffee and soda products such as coca-cola. Other than that there should be no negative side effects from drinking Wu Yi tea and there are only good things that can come from drinking a cup of Wu Yi tea every day. Not only does Wu Yi and Wu Long tea taste amazing but it can help you lose weight as well as prevent major diseases such as cancer and ulcers.
