Wu Yi Tea Vs Green Tea

June 24, 2008 on 2:12 pm | In wu yi tea |

Wu Yi, wu long, and oolong tea have been around for thousands of years and have been used by the people of China. These brands of tea are normally called traditional Chinese tea and are anywhere between black and green oxidation. This oxidation ranges from 10%-60%. Oolong tea is has been long believed to be extremely beneficial to health such as decreasing body fat, increasing energy levels, improve acne and your overall skin appearance, and reduce the signs of aging and any bad side effects. I know this sounds like a miracle drink but it has been proved scientifically be many universities to actually do the things listed above. Wu Yi Tea is gaining quite a hype in today’s culture because people are wanting to experience the benefits of Wu Yi Tea.

So what can Wu Yi Tea do for me?

According to a study by the Department of Applied Nutrition:

We were interested in the effects of Wu Long Tea in comparison to that of green tea. To evaluate the effect of oolong tea on energy expenditure (EE) in comparison with green tea. The subjects were eleven healthy Japanese females (aged between 20 years and 25 years old with a body mass index (BMI) between 21.2 and 25.5) who each consumed three treatments in a crossover design: (1: water, 2: oolong tea, 3: green tea. Resting energy expenditure (REE) and EE after the consumption of the Oolong tea, green tea, and water for 120 minutes were measured using an indirect calorimeter. The cumulative increases of EE for 120 min were significantly increased 10% and 4% after the consumption of oolong tea and green tea. EE at 60 and 70 min were significantly higher after the consumption of oolong tea than after water, probability<0.05. These results suggest that oolong tea increases EE by its polymerized polyphenols.

So we have some scientific proof that Oolong and Wu Yi tea can be beneficial to your health but this is only the beginning to our investigation. In future posts I will do more research with more evidence and more proof.
