Wu Yi Tea Review

Wu Yi Tea is also called Oolong or Wu-Long. It has become popular as a diet supplement and weight loss aid. Its proponents claim it aids in burning fat and suppressing appetite better than green tea. It is said that Oolong tea was first produced in China hundreds of years ago during the Ming Dynasty by a villager named Wu Liang. He had picked several pounds of mountain tea leaves one day and neglected to dry them right away. The next day, he discovered the tea leaves had fermented. He fried the tea and to his surprise, the tea was not bitter and tasted good. Wu Liang taught others to make the tea and it soon became popular. They named it Wu Liang (Wu Yi) tea. By later generations, the tea was called Wu-Long in China and Oolong in foreign countries.

A substance called "Polyphenol" in wu yi tea is supposed to effectively control obesity. Specifically, it activates enzymes that are responsible for dissolving triglycerides. It is supposed to speed up metabolism, burning more calories. Advocates and sellers of Wu Yi Tea claim the tea burns more calories than green tea by reducing the fattening effects of carbohydrates and reducing absorption of saturated fat. In addition, they claim drinking Wu Yi tea makes your skin look younger, your teeth healthier, and strengthens your immune system. The tea is to be consumed 15 minutes before breakfast and in the afternoon before eating for the most benefit.
