Oolong Tea Negative Side Effects

May 9th, 2009 Ming 2 comments

Generally, Oolong Tea Weight Loss Tea gives off great benefits to the human body and mind. The compounds found in oolong tea  have been known as great healing substances since ancient times. For instance, the tannins may help in keeping the balance of good and bad cholesterol in the body. Also, Oolong Tea has components that can help in raising metabolic rates and the rate of burning fats in the body; thus, aiding in natural weight loss. 

So what about  Oolong Tea negative side effects? It may have side effects that each of us tea drinkers should know about. After all, everything that we take in excess may affect our bodies adversely. Nevertheless, it is important to note that since tea is all-natural and is carefully processed in the most organic way possible, the side effects may cause little or no discomfort to you at all.

The first possible side effect of drinking oolong wu yi tea excessively is the level of caffeine that your body has to endure. Of course, there is ultimately more caffeine in coffee, and even chocolate, that you will probably have consumed all kinds of tea in 3 or 4 cups every day to really suffer this caffeine drawback. In rare cases, too much of caffeine can make you resistant to insulin, creates sleeping problems, and may lower your metabolism. In even more rare cases, one might suffer from caffeine toxicity, called Hypokalimia, a condition that may result in death.

Additionally, if you are pregnant, or breastfeeding a young baby, your doctor would already have told you to limit your intake of caffeine, whether in coffee, tea, sodas, or other products that contain it. Aside from the fact that caffeine is a natural diuretic (which means you will be going to the bathroom more than ever), high caffeine levels in the body may be a factor to miscarriages and small infants.

Lastly, it contains traces of oxalates, which have been liked to kidney diseases and damages (like kidney stones, for instance). There are more benefits in drinking wu yi tea than negative effects, except if you drown yourself in it. This is because Oolong Weight Loss Tea is all natural. What is more dangerous are the tea extracts that claim to have infused their products with more of the good stuff. For example, a tea product that claims to have over 600 milligrams of the tannin polyphenol in it may actually cause faster weight loss. However, it also poses a higher risk of damage in the body, specifically the intestines, the liver, and the kidneys. In the end, overdosing on the presumably beneficial compounds that are found in Oolong Weight Loss Tea, or any other tea for that matter, may cause irreparable damage. Hepatoxicity is one of those. Another, more saddening occurrence is infant leukemia. Chromosomal damage could also be a result of too much intake of the compounds mentioned. Thus, a word of caution: moderation. A new diet celebrities are currently raving about is the Oolong Tea Diet.

Ming’s Easy Intro To Oolong Tea For Weight Loss

May 9th, 2009 Ming 1 comment

It’s Ming here with a run down on Oolong Tea for Weight Loss. Tea is the most popular beverage in the world and was first consumed by the Chinese Emperor Shen-Nung around 2737 B.C.  China had started growing tea shrubs as early as five to six thousand years ago and is referred to it as the homeland of tea. From the hundreds of varieties of Chinese tea, six of them are the major ones. Oolong Tea is amongst the six famous types. It is a partially fermented traditional Chinese tea and tastes somewhere between green and black tea and combines the best qualities of both. After being picked, the tea leaves are withered to remove moisture. Then the leaves are left to dry in the shade before the semi-fermentation process begins.

Oolong, is refreshing and delicious and has a range of aromas and tastes quite distinct from green or black tea. Oolong tea is rich in antioxidants called polyphenols that prevents cancer, keep the heart healthy and aid in general well being. There are also some researches that say that Oolong tea can help in weight loss and prove useful in bodybuilding. It has now become well known as a weight loss tea. It is also known to help in lowering cholesterol. Oolong tea is good for the teeth because of its antibacterial properties and can reduce flatulence. The term Oolong or is literally ‘black dragon’ or “black snake” in Chinese, but has nothing to do with dragons or snakes in the literal sense.

In more popular in recent years because of its ability to help in weight loss. A Japanese journal claims that this tea can increase the body’s ability to burn fat. This declaration has increased the demand of Oolong, but it remains scarce in supply. Oolong Tea Weight Loss can be found easily in Chinese markets and most health food shops. Oolong tea is also most commonly served in Chinese restaurants with food. It is also available all over the globe due to its health benefits and recognized as a world famous natural health drink.

How to Judge Quality in Oolong Tea

May 9th, 2009 Ming Comments off

Hi it’s Ming here and I wanted to share with you some of the qualities to look out for in Oolong Tea Weight Loss Tea. Three Measures For Judging Quality in this remarkable Chinese  Tea

1. The best Oolong tea never becomes bitter, no matter how long it is infused. It is true that some good Dan Cong oolong can have some bitterness that is sought after, especially by locals, but the better Dan Cong oolongs are sweeter and more smooth. A rich flavor through multiple infusions and a long aftertaste should be expected from all oolong teas.

2. With Anxi, Taiwan, Dan Cong, most leaves should not be damaged and should look reasonably whole once they are infused and unfold. Because Rock Oolong tea undergoes multiple stages of roasting, its leaves can be expected to be brittle and usually less than whole.

3. After making the Oolong tea, the leaves should be tender, pliable and look fresh. The leaves should not be chewy, old and thick – this is evidence of a very late picking.

Shapes and flavors of regional oolong are far from consistent. Shifting market preferences may quite literally reshape an oolong tea. As recently as 1995, Anxi oolong was not curled as we know it today, but looked much more like the dark, open leaf Rock Oolong tea from Wu Yi Shan. In the first decade of this century, greener, lightly oxidized tea have come into popularity. What we are examining is the the ascendancy of newly developed Taiwanese manufacturing techniques and a market preference for tea that delivers highly floral aromatics. Even more recently, aged oolong tea has become popular. Perhaps this can be explained as a backlash against the highly aromatic and lightly oxidized oolongs, or perhaps because a surge of interest in aging teas caused by the puer market boom. Regardless of why, aging oolong tea is not a long standing traditional practice of experts but is rather a practice of rural Chinese who have kept aged oolong tea (not to mention white tea and black tea as well) for its medicinal cooling quality.
