Enjoy Real Oolong Tea – in Teabags!

Most tea drinkers prefer the old-fashioned way of preparing their tea – boil water, add tea. However, with the demands of the modern world has on the average person, he would still want to have his tea – but the problem is that he does not have the time to prepare them like he used to. The solution: Oolong Teabags. Just add hot water, and you can enjoy the same refreshing and relaxing Oolong tea.

Studies show that Oolong Teabags, while convenient and easy to carry around, has the same amount of polyphenols as the Oolong tea prepared traditionally. Good news for those who doubt the reliability of modern technology.

Where the teabags are made

Oolong Teabags are either manufactured in China or in Taiwan, where they have tea called Tianili Oolong.

Oolong Tea is distinct because of its certain aftertaste. It is preferred, especially by those who want to lose weight, to enjoy your tea without sugars or sweeteners, but if you prefer to sweeten your tea, adding honey is the healthiest option.

How Distinguish Between the Different Oolong Teabags

Oolong Teabags have different grades. Do not get confused, as the grade only indicates the color and the strength of your tea. First grade tea is usually the strongest cup, while the fifth cup still has some tea taste in it, albeit a very light cup.

Oolong Tea can also be divided into two: Dark Oolong Tea, and Green Oolong Tea. Dark Oolong Tea has that unique aftertaste, a certain kick that is distinct to this tea, while Green Oolong Tea is more aromatic than flavourful. Studies indicate that the polyphenol levels in both teas are the same, so you can enjoy either tea without sacrificing on its health-giving goodness it has to offer.

What is Loose Oolong Tea?

Loose Oolong Tea, like other teas, comes from Camellia Sinensis, and is processed as loose semi-fermented tea. There are two kinds of Loose Oolong Tea: Loose Green Oolongs and Loose Dark Oolongs. Loose Oolong Tea has 5 different grades, the first one being the highest in quality. Loose Oolong teas have been enjoyed as aperitifs in Chinese kiosks and restaurants ever since the time of the ancient Chinese. It is usually taken after a meal, and the Chinese take it in order to signify that the meal has officially ended. The Japanese drink the same tea, although not as ceremoniously as their Chinese counterparts do, but both drink it in order to assimilate the tea’s polyphenols which help against harmful free radicals.

Countries around the world have recognized the healing and rejuvenating effects of the Oolong tea, and have imported vast amounts from China. Some pharmaceuticals have included Oolong tea as part of their line up of diet supplements, but many agree that the best way to drink it is to boil a cup of the tea itself, assuring easy assimilation of the health-giving polyphenols found in the Oolong Tea.
