Tea lovers, especially those who had tried brewing and infusing loose leaf tea in their homes are probably aware of the existence of Wu-Yi.
Wu-Yi Tea is in fact an Oolong Tea which had been processes - oxidized and roasted to give rise to its distinctive dark and richer presentation. It has a distinctive taste which can range from flowery to sweet to coffee tasting.
Ideally, Wu-Yi Tea like Rougui Wuyi is dark-roasted, earthly tasting and rich which is just like coffee. How it is processed and roasted alters the subtle properties of this well-known Chinese tea like the colour of its leaves, astringency, aroma and taste. The longer it is roasted, the darker the flavour becomes.
Wu-Yi Shuixian is another interesting and amazing Wu Yi with a great robust taste. It also has a dark leaf with earthly flavour with a more flowery aroma. By brewing this variety the gongfu style, you will get two to three infusions with each infusion having a slight difference in aroma, colour and complexity.
These two varieties of Wu-Yi Teas are excellent in aiding digestion and they also contain adequate amounts of anti-oxidants.
Both Wu-Yi and Wu-Long Teas contain two powerful and potent anti-oxidants which are known as theaflavins and thearubigins. These two anti-oxidants have the same power as the polyphenol, EGCG, which is usually found in green tea.
Studies show that Wu-Yi, Wu-Long and green teas are excellent and superior sources of atni-oxidants. The theaflavins and thearubigins and EGCG are 100 times more powerful and effective as compared to vitamin C and about 25 times more powerful compared to vitamin E in terms of destroying free radicals. This proves that tea is good for the body and it guarantees multiple health benefits, promotes wellness and stimulates metabolism.
As a natural calorie-burner and alternative for coffee, Wu-Yi teas absolutely offer a better choice. There are several varieties to choose from and it would be great to experiment until you find the right taste and aroma that suits you best.
Wu-Yi Tea offers superior health benefits not found in other beverages. Look younger, enjoy a youthful glow, experience a healthier and trimmer figure and feel a boost in your energy levels with Wu-Yi tea.

I’ve been taking wu-yi for about 3 months now. I have lost 19 pounds so far. I drink a cup when I sit down at work in the morning and again after lunch. I’ll be purchasing more here shortly. Thanks wu-yi
