For many people who are looking for an easy and convenient way to lose weight, drinking tea regularly is becoming a popular alternative. So, can you lose weight with Wu Yi Tea? Keep on reading for some facts about Wu-Yi Tea and proof about its effectiveness as a weight loss aid.

Facts About Tea
Tea is a very old type of beverage made from steeping processed leaves, buds, or twigs of the tea bush Camellia sinensis, in hot water for a few minutes. The process includes oxidation, heating, drying, and addition of herbs, flowers, spices, and fruits. The four basic types of tea are black tea, oolong tea, green tea, and white tea. Herbal tea refers to infusions of fruit or of herbs like rosehip, chamomile, or jiaogulan; that does not contain no Camellia sinensis.

Tea is a natural source of theanine, methylxanthines such as caffeine and theobromine,and polyphenolic antioxidant catechins. It contains minimal carbohydrates, fat, and protein; and has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavor.

What Is Wu-Yi Tea?
Wu Yi Tea may sound new to you, and you are probably more familiar with this popular weight loss tea, Oolong Tea. The truth is Wu Yi Tea and Oolong tea are the same tea variety, the difference is Wu Yi tea takes its name from Mt. Wuyi Shan in the Fujian Province of China, where it is harvested from.

Wu Yi tea health benefits and calorie burning properties are the same as Wu long and Oolong teas.

How Does Wu-Yi Tea Make You Lose Weight?
There is a substance in Wu Yi tea called polyphenol, and though it is also found in other green and black tea varieties, Wu Yi tea and Oolong tea have higher polyphenol concentration.

Polyphenol is a bio-active ingredient that activates the enzyme that dissolves fat or triglycerides, in your body. This speeds up your metabolism, and drinking it regularly increases fat metabolism hence controlling obesity.

So Can You Lose Weight With WuYi Tea?
There is a lot of hype and marketing behind WuYi tea and other Oolong teas that it is hard to tell whether it really works, or its all just plain marketing.

I just started on Wu-Yi a little over a week ago, but I have regularly been taking Oolong tea; not so much to lose weight but to control weight and fat, and kick start my metabolism. The older we get, our metabolism slows, which is why we tend to gain weight easily. There are other health advantages however you might be more concerned about its slimming effects.

Here is a guy who has used Wu Yi tea much longer than I have and has the results that you are looking for. This is Dan’s Wu Yi Tea story. The way Dan tells his story, he emphasizes two facts… that it works and that it is easy.

Will You Really Lose Weight With Wu Yi Tea?
If there is one thing I know about weight loss, there is no magic brew or instant remedy… from what I know (as a nurse), the human body not only needs the right diet and nutrition but a good amount of exercise and a healthy lifestyle. To lose weight, simply tea alone will probably not work if you are basically sedentary, eat without control or restraint and indulge in large amounts of fatty food, and carbohydrates. The tea will work for you if you help make it work by also helping yourself, watching what you eat, getting some exercise and overcoming a lifestyle or habits that are not healthy for you.
