Loose Oolong Tea


Chinese Oolong tea originally came from the Fujian Province. The name comes from the Chinese term for "black dragon." These brews are less leafy tasting than green varieties and less harsh than black varieties. Loose leaf Chinese Oolong is also known for containing higher antioxidant concentrations than black varieties. Another key characteristic of this blend is the polyphenol content, a potent antioxidant that has been shown to improve the signs of aging in the skin and fight the formation of free radicals that cause cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Additional Benefits of Drinking Chinese Oolong Tea

People drink Chinese Oolong to reap the following health benefits:
  • Weight loss--drinking just two cups of loose leaf Chinese Oolong a day may help the body burn over 150-percent more fat than green tea
  • Improved concentration, focus and memory function--lower caffeine levels help to stimulate the flow of blood to the brain
  • Strengthening of the immune system--powerful antioxidants help to fight off infection
  • Prevention of tooth decay
  • Diabetes maintenance--this tea helps to even out glucose levels in some patients
