Polyphenol in oolong tea is effective in controlling weight. It activates the enzyme that is responsible for dissolving triglycerides. Studies have confirmed that a 2-3 cup per day intake of oolong tea contributes to enhancing the function of fat metabolism and controlling obesity.
The Osmanthus Oolong, locally known as “Fenhong Dancong”, is grown in Southeastern China, on the Wuyu Mountains. The tea plants have been grown into small trees, some of which have been there for centuries. After being harvested, the leaves are taken to Guangdong Province for the next stage of production. After dried and withered, the leaves are rolled sideways and pan-fried creating long, gently twisted leaves. The leaves are then baked with fresh osmanthus blossoms and the fragrance and taste of the flower is transferred onto the tea.
The recipe for Osmanthus Oolong has been around for quite some time. Historically, this tea has been especially popular with women because it was believed that drinking the tea will enhance ones physical beauty.
