What is Wu-Yi Tea?
Wu-Yi tea is harvested from Mount Wu Yi Shan
one of the most fertile and mineral rich areas of the Fujian Province in China. The Fujian Province offers the most suitable natural environment for the cultivation of tea.
In particular, Mt. Wu Yi Shan has been well known as a tea producing area since the Sung Dynasty. This is the original home of all teas, including Wu-Yi tea, in the world. It is the best and rarest tea among all teas from the region. Its supply is extremely limited due to the limited growing area. Its enormous weight loss function has been recognized worldwide.
Wu Yi tea Burns 2.5 Times more calories than authentic Green Tea: In a new study published in the Journal of Medical Investigation, scientists from Japan’s University of Tokushima School of Medicine found that people who regularly consumed this tea experienced over TWICE the calorie-burning results of those who drank the same amount of authentic Japanese Green Tea.
For over 400 years asians have been drinking Wu-Yi tea for it’s natural slimming effect and other natural health benefits. In fact, drinking tea has been included in traditional Chinese medicine since it’s discovery and is still used to this day! It’s no wonder than that many people trying to lose weight are flocking to Wu-Yi tea for it’s natural qualities of burning fat.
The “power” of Wu-Yi tea to naturally burn fat comes from the “Polyphenol” found within the tea. A polyphenol is a bio-active ingredient that stimulates lipolysis, or the breakdown of fat. It achieves this by activating enzymes that dissolve fat (triglycerides) in your body. This in turn speeds up your metabolism! (increasing your resting metabolic rate). Teas such as green and black tea also contain polyphenols but the level of polyphenols is significantly greater in oolong tea, also known as Wu-Yi tea.
As well as the natural process of burning fat, Wu-Yi tea also has other additional health benefits that have been scientifically studied and documented. Case studies showing that tea reduces the risk of heart attack, protects against cancer, strengthens bones and protects against tooth plaque and decay.
Chinese culture incorporated tea in traditional medicine for hundreds of years and to this day continue to do so. With so many natural health benefits to provide, Wu-Yi tea should definitely be a consideration for anyone who is health conscious and/or looking to lose weight and keep it off.
