Which is better, Green tea or Wu-Yi tea?

Wu-Yi tea (Oolong) and Green tea contains a large amount of polyphenols. It is clear that the health benefit is primarily caused by tea polyphenols.

Slimming Green tea
Green tea is from the same plant as (Camellia sinensis) the Wu-Yi tea or Oolong tea. After tea leaves are plucked and sorted, they are either steamed or pan fired. Green tea does not go through fermentation. Green tea has less caffeine than Wu-Yi tea.

For green tea leaves are processed and dried in such a way as to avoid fermentation. Oolong tea is partially fermented.

Oolong Tea and weight loss
Oolong Tea has caffeine content between that green tea and black tea. The variant is typically not as robust as black tea or as subtle as green tea, but has its own fragrant subtleties. It can be compared with the taste and aroma of flowers or fresh fruit.

Since both teas contain large amounts of polyphenols, they may have antioxidant, anti-cancer and antiviral properties, as well as regulate appetite and weight loss.

Which is better? I drink both green tea and Wu-yi Tea. Oolong can have slightly more caffeine than green tea, which can be a crucial factor if you are to stay away from caffeine. They both contain a high amount of polyphenols, which may impact the way you feel and benefit your health and heart.

Always consult your doctor first before starting a weight loss program or using any products that might affect your health or a disease, you may have.
