Oolong Tea

Be it the addictive malty taste, the eye-catching shape or the distinguished oxidation process, this one is an artisanal beauty in every way. It is the only tea that goes through the broadest range of fermentation that can range anywhere from 10 to 80 percent across its many varieties. The benefits of drinking Oolong Tea are–

1. It consists of a high proportion of polyphenolic compounds, that help the body in flushing out free radicals, increasing insulin sensitivity and thereby lowering blood pressure, sugar levels and cholesterol.
2. It infuses calming benefits in the body and allows one to sleep better while boosting immunity and reducing the risk of heart diseases in the long run.
3. With properties of both green tea and black tea, Oolong comes with more catechins than black tea and higher antioxidant properties than green tea. Being loaded with high bioflavonoids, allows it to improve the body’s overall strength and disease-fighting capacity.
4. Oolong is also known as a preferred slimming tea for its tea-theine (tea caffeine), plant polyphenols, vitamins and mineral concentrations that are highly effective in boosting metabolism and burning calories, making it one of the most delicious teas to lose weight
5. The healthy compounds in Oolong tea help to mitigate vascular inflammation, thereby reducing risks of cardiovascular concerns by targeting specific inflammation-causing genes.
6. Oolong tea is known to prevent cognitive decline and de-stress while improving mood and information processing abilities. It also effectively enhances memory, improves focus and brings calmness for a sustained amount of time.
7. The significant proportion of Polyphenols in Oolong tea helps to increase bone mass, and improve tooth and bone strength. By improving the mineral density in the bones, bone loss is reduced and this is specifically beneficial to aging women, to help them combat calcium deficiencies.
