OOLONG TEA
Oolong tea has similar benefits as green and black teas.
Oolong tea is deeply rooted in Chinese tea culture and is commonly used in the Gongfu tea ceremony, a traditional method of preparing tea with precision and mindfulness.
It’s also appreciated for its balance—between green and black tea—and is known for its complex flavor, ranging from floral and sweet to toasty and roasted.
black tea
The earliest known black tea is Lapsang Souchong. Chinese tea producers had to speed up the drying process of green tea leaves to avoid spoilage.
To do this, they smoked the leaves over pinewood fire accidentally, creating the world’s first black tea.
Black tea gets its name from the fully oxidized process it undergoes, giving it a dark color and robust flavor that distinguishes it from green or white teas
ginger tea
I love to start my day with a cup of ginger tea and a book. Ginger tea has many benefits that includes support with blood pressure, weight management and supports digestion.
Ginger is a great aid to weigh management and loss for a number of different reasons which include:
- Boost of metabolism- in which it slightly increase metabolic rate. And the thermogenesis which produce body heat; which allows you to burn more calories.
- Suppresses appetite- which helps control cravings and hunger.
- Reduces water retention and inflammation. Because ginger tea contains diuretic and inflammatory properties it can reduce water weigh.
MATCHA TEA
Do you know how matcha gets it green?
It’s all in the processing technique and the primary source of the green color comes from the chlorophyll; which is a nature process which allows them to photosynthesize.
Matcha’s earliest forms can be traced back to ancient China where powdered teas. But what we know as matcha today was developed and made culturally significant in Japan.
