Studies have shown that this Chinese tea can help one lose a moderate amount of fat over some time (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/qa\/what-is-oolong-tea-and-how-can-it-help-you-lose-weight\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). There are also Antioxidant properties in the tea, which may help with issues such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. But, before delving further into the benefits of oolong tea for weight loss, we must first understand what it is and how it is made.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mostly consumed in China and Taiwan, it came from the same plant that all teas come from. It is from the leaves, buds, and stems of the Camellia sinensis plant (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins\/ai\/ingredientmono-1099\/oolong-tea\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). What sets it apart, however, is how it is treated after harvesting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, unlike fully fermented black tea, oolong tea goes only through partial fermenting (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/319276#what-is-oolong-tea\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Partial fermentation means that oolong is partly oxidized. Due to this, it contains a higher amount of epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG than black tea (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/article\/303736-facts-about-oolong-tea-weight-loss\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for a way to <a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Oolong_Tea_For_Weight_Loss_Can_This_Perfect_For_A_Rainy_Day_Drink_Rev_Up_Your_Metabolism\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">break the vicious cycle of weight loss<\/a> and tone up all the jiggly parts?

When it comes to green tea, once the leaves are harvested, they are quickly steamed to stop enzyme reactions. After this, they are then broken and crushed by hand to break down the cells within.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, oolong tea is left to ferment under specific conditions. Once the fermentation process is complete, the leaves are neither broken nor crushed, leaving the cells intact (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/agricultural-and-biological-sciences\/oolong-tea\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), thus retaining its antioxidant and lipid-lowering properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research done in 2007 proved that green tea had more catechins when compared to this semi-fermented oolong tea. However, the latter had a significant amount of polymerized polyphenols, which were absent in the former (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/figure\/Contents-of-Polyphenol-and-Caffeine-in-Oolong-Tea-and-Green-Tea-Extracts_tbl1_6401316\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While green tea is effective for weight loss, oolong tea can be considered a better option.
