This traditional Chinese type of tea lies somewhere in the middle of black and green tea. Oolong/Wu Long, or “black dragon” is named for its thread-like leaves and in ancient Chinese tradition is a very “lucky” drink. This “luck” comes not only from appearance, but also for its many health properties including anti-heart disease and digestion.

Oolong/Wu long tea is becoming one of the most popular teas designed to accelerate weight loss. Research shows drinking two cups of Wu-long every day not only helps shed stubborn pounds by boosting your metabolism, but also blocks the fattening effects of carbohydrates; promotes strong, healthy teeth; improves cognitive functioning and mental well-being; clarifies your skin, giving it a healthy, radiant glow and strengthens your immune system.

Tips: Never use boiling to steep. Boil water, let stand one minute. Pour and steep white tea for 5 to 8 minutes. Now savor each cup as we will wish that cup to bring you much peace, health and luck!
