Slimming

For centuries, oolong tea has been consumed to help maintain healthy figure and body shape. Research suggests that oolong tea may decrease body fat and boost metabolism, reducing the risk of obesity and aiding in weight loss. Studies show that oolong tea stimulates fat burning and increases the number of calories your body burns by up to 3.4%. The polyphenols in oolong tea lower blood sugar levels. They also reduce insulin resistance, a condition where the body doesn’t properly use sugars in the blood. High blood sugar and insulin resistance are both risk factors for diabetes and other health conditions like obesity.

Floral notes of this Fujian Province organic oolong makes it taste great, but it also has significant levels of antioxidants as well as benefits for heart health, cognitive function and diabetes. In the Nandi Highlands of Kenya there is a small tea estate that produces some exceptional new world green tea, full of flavor, body and exceedingly high levels of antioxidants when compared to common teas. Interestingly, in the cultivation of high altitude Kenya tea – pesticides are not used in propagation because pests that can ruin tea bushes cannot survive at these altitudes (gets too cold at night). This Kenya green tea is virtually organic by default. We put these two components together to get the right balance of floral flavor and antioxidant levels that are much much higher than common tea.  Here’s to good health!
