Natural Oolong Tea comes from China. Legend holds that Oolong tea was first produced at Mt. Wu Yi Shan in the Fujian Province in the waning days of the Ming Dynasty.

Oolong tea production follows a time-honored tradition of picking the leaves carefully by hand, drying the leaves to encourage the fermentation process, and knowing exactly when to halt the fermentation process to preserve the perfect flavor.

Initially, the tea was enjoyed in elaborate ceremonies using a tiny little teapot and tea cups. To enjoy yout tea today you might want to buy a special Chinese tea pot and tea cup from an import shop, some fresh lemons and maybe even some exotic honey to sweeten your tea.

Recently there has been a lot of hype around Oolong tea and weight loss. The polyphenols in Oolong tea have proven to be effective in activating the enzyme that is responsible for reducing triglycerides, which are synthesized by your body from the excess sugar and fat that you take in when you over eat. Excess triglycerides are deposited within the fat cells, which encourages the production of more fat cells. Drinking Oolong tea also boosts your metabolism.

In addition to promoting weight loss, Oolong tea has several other health benefits. Because of its high polyphenol content, Oolong tea is said to be able to remove free radicals, and enhance the function of enzymes in the body. There have been and continue to be many scientific studies about the efficacy of polyphenols in Oolong tea. You can enjoy all of these benefits from drinking only two cups of Oolong tea per day.
