Wu Yi Source - Why Wu-Yi Tea is Better Than Green Tea

Wu-Yi Tea Versus Green Tea Diet

Our Wu-Yi Tea is being called better than green tea for health and weight loss. This is due to the high amounts of polyphenol and antioxidant content from the added oolong tea extract. While green tea naturally has high levels of antioxidants, our wu-yi tea has added extract standardized for the highest levels of polyphenols available. With this added boost it is more tailored for weight loss support and health benefits than just drinking regular green tea or being on a green tea diet with green tea supplements. Even with the best green tea supplement you will not get the high amount of polyohenols found in original Wu-Yi Tea with added extract high in polyohenols.

As a matter of fact, a well know study was conducted on Japanese females on the reaction of drinking green tea versus oolong tea (wuyi tea) on weight loss effects. The study that set it all off was published in august of 2003 in the journal of medical investigation titled, "oolong tea increases energy metabolism in Japanese females." This study sought to follow up on an earlier (and lesser known) study involving 120 Japanese women who consumed oolong tea for 6 weeks and saw a reduction in weight versus drinking regular green tea and then others just drinking water.

The study was conducted by the University of Tokushima School of Medicine along with several other Japanese Universities. It involved 11 Japanese women who consumed either water, green tea (or matcha tea), or oolong tea after a meal. The results of green tea versus the oolong tea were very interesting. The oolong tea appeared to increase energy expenditure by 10%, green tea by 4%, and water not at all. The conclusion to this matter means that you burn more fat when you drink oolong tea versus green tea after a meal. This is primarily due to the higher levels of polyphenols in oolong tea than that of green tea.

The study also found that oolong tea has half the caffeine of green tea and half the levels of EGCG, green tea's cancer killing compound. The Wu-Yi Tea Company makes up for this by adding the high levels of polymerized polyphenols and antioxidants (EGCG's) making it four times as strong as regular green tea for health and weight loss. So while you are getting you weight loss effects of oolong tea, you will still be getting the amazing health benefits of green tea.
