The Famous Teas of China

You may have heard that the higher the quality of green tea the higher its health benefit. And that turns out to be right. This has been known throughout tea's history and in Ancient China, there was a development of a list of "Famous Teas" from different providences that were known for their superior quality, taste and health benefits.

You may have heard of the Wu-Yi tea that is now being touted all over the Internet as a weight loss miracle, and it is indeed one of the 'famous teas" of ancient china. What you may not know is that all green teas have weight loss properties and that Wu Yi is really an Oolong tea form the Wu Yi province of China. Oolong is a form of semi oxidized tea, somewhere between a green and a black, and in general has less of the polyphenols and catechins that you would find in a high quality green tea. Other 'famous teas' that have great health benefits include Dragon Well, or Lung Ching, which is widely consider the best of the list and which I sell here in its high quality loose leaf form, and Tai Ping Monkey King, a high quality green tea known for its exquisite taste and life enhancing health benefits.
