Oolong (which is a semi-fermented tea) with a mild flavour has all the health benefit of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). Rich in antioxidants and supporting a healthy heart and circulation. Just two cups daily is equal to the antioxidant content of 5 servings of fruuit and vegetables. Oolong tea assists weight control by increasing thermogenesis (helps conversion of food to heat rather than fat). Our clients find that it helps with mild acne. This may be due to the high antioxidant content which helps the elimination of toxins. Research has also shown green tea to be antibacterial and can help reduce redness and inflammation.
