Oolong Tea
Oolong tea, known for offering both flavor and health benefits, originated in the Fujian Province of China. When brewed, the leaves form a brownish liquid. This blend is known for its unique drying process. The leaves are dried in the sun, but the process is interrupted by the cutting of the leaves. The leaves oxidize, turn brown, and then the drying process is allowed to continue. Many people consider loose leaf Oolong a semi-green tea. This brew contains less caffeine than black varieties and more antioxidants than green varieties.
Health Benefits of Drinking Oolong Tea
Drinking loose leaf tea has been shown to produce several key health benefits. This blend benefits the digestive system by soothing the stomach, aiding in the maintenance of glucose levels and filtering out unhealthy types of cholesterol. Many people drink this brew because it encourages weight loss, and it blocks the absorption of fat from certain foods. The healthy caffeine levels benefit blood flow to the brain and help with focus and concentration.
Free radicals damage cells and affect the look and feel of your skin. Drinking moderate amounts of Oolong may help to reverse the signs of sun damage, reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes and prevent some types of skin cancer. This blend also helps to prevent the formation of bacteria that causes tooth decay.
