Oolong Loose Tea
Oolong Tea-contribution to Health and Wellness
From time immemorial, the health benefits of tea have been acclaimed across countries. Most is the tea types fall under the category of Camellia Sinensis plant and has its own unique features and properties. Some of the most popular ones include Green tea, Black tea, Oolong tea, and more.
Oolong tea happens to be an interesting tea variety that exhibits traits of both Green tea and Black tea. The leaves are large in appearance and its sweet aroma makes a delicious connoisseur when brewed with proper ingredients. Oolong comes in all varieties including White Tip Oolong tea to Formosa Oolong variety with amber streaks. Oolong tea goes though a shorter oxidation process unlike its counterparts and thus is capable of retaining most health properties.
The tea is recognized as a beneficial health drink and acts as an anti-obesity agent. During the process of oxidation, the level of Catechins is reduced. During the fermentation process, the level of Polyphenols and Flavanoids are increased. Polyphenol augments the process of fat-metabolism in human bodies. Foods rich in carbohydrate when consumed synthesize together to form Triglyceride, which flows through blood veins and capillaries of human bodies and release energies for sustaining life. However, excess deposition of Triglyceride is counterproductive to human health and form fat tissues. Polyphenol reacts directly with Triglycerides and dissolves them smoothly and thus helps in encountering obesity to a large extent.
Apart from its function as a cure to obesity, strong antibacterial and antiviral properties develops a strong immune system in the body which is capable of encountering harmful diseases. It acts as a relief to allergies, diabetes, Eczema, Cancer and also acts as an anti aging agent. Oolong tea can never cure cancer. But it certainly prevents formation of some cancer causing agents. The antioxidant properties of Polyphenol coupled with Epigallo Catechin Gallate (EGCC), a substance contained in Oolong tea can prevent unwanted DNA mutation from cells. While buying Oolong tea, it is recommended to go for the organic variety available in loose tea bags. The variety is cultivated without using pesticides and the intermingling of chemicals is far less.
The health benefits of Oolong tea have made it one of the most popular connoisseurs cross the globe. Few centuries back, some religious groups in China believed that Oolong tea carries with itself some potions of immorality. It goes without saying that this belief was inculcated mainly due to its one of kind contribution in the area of health and medication. Till today, Oolong tea is regarded as one of the most accredited health drink that runs parallel with conventional science and its significance remains intact in the annals of medicine.

Make Tea Bag Tea Taste Good?
It so bland, I hate it! But there's nowhere I know of to get some loose leaves. What can I do to make them taste good?
The teas I have are green, chai, and oolong. I'm really interested in the oolong one right now.
So all you tea brewers, tell me how it's done!
...Please?
Bring your water to a boil. Believe it or not if your water isn't hot enough the tea tastes horrible. Pour the water over your tea bag. Let it steep for 3 or more minutes. If you want you can add lemon juice and fresh mint leaves while it is steeping. Add sugar or honey if you want. Don't leave the tea bag in too long or it will be bitter. Enjoy. I think I will go fix myself a cup of tea too.
