What is oolong tea? I believe many people have drunk oolong tea, which is a very delicious tea. Its taste is cool and delicious, and its tea color is unique and bright. And drinking some properly is very beneficial to your health. Here is a detailed introduction to what oolong tea is!
What is Oolong Tea 1 Oolong Tea is a traditional tea in China, which is between green tea and black tea. Oolong tea combines the production methods of green tea and black tea, and its characteristics are between green tea and black tea. It has both the rich flavor of black tea and the fragrance of green tea, and has the reputation of "green leaves with red edges".
After tasting, the teeth and cheeks remain fragrant, and the aftertaste is sweet and fresh. The pharmacological effects of oolong tea are mainly manifested in fat analysis, weight loss and bodybuilding. It is called "beauty tea" and "bodybuilding tea" in Japan.
Let's know what oolong tea is through its function: because oolong tea contains organic compounds such as tea polyphenols, it has the functions of removing active oxygen that harms beauty and health, improving skin allergy, slimming, anti-tumor and preventing aging.
Three benefits of drinking oolong tea:
1 can activate autonomic nerve and reduce stress.
Oolong tea can promote the movement of autonomic and parasympathetic nerves, prevent overeating due to excessive pressure, and risk death to eat tools because of trying to control irritability, which is helpful to lose weight.
2. Improve energy metabolism
In Japan, water, green tea and oolong tea were tested to promote basal metabolism. The results show that water has no special effect, while green tea can increase the metabolism of 4 calories in 1 hour, and oolong tea can increase the metabolism of 9 calories the most!
And the effect of oolong tea can last for 5 hours, so it is 1 cup 300cc. Oolong tea can lose 40 calories (equivalent to walking fast 15 minutes and going up and down stairs 10 minutes)!
3. It can dissolve fat and lower cholesterol.
Oolong tea can dissolve fat, support fat metabolism, and experiments have proved that it can also inhibit the rise of cholesterol!
Efficacy of oolong tea
1, preventing tooth decay
Drinking a cup of tea after a meal can not only promote fluid production and relieve cough, but also refresh your breath. Oolong tea also has the function of preventing tooth decay. The cause of tooth decay is that bacteria invade the tooth tissue and produce enzymes in the tissue, which leads to tooth decay. This enzyme reacts with sugar contained in food to produce substances that corrode teeth.
This substance and bacteria that can decay teeth adhere to the teeth to form tartar, and after accumulation, tooth decay will occur.
Polyphenols contained in oolong tea can inhibit the production of tartar enzymes, so drinking a cup of oolong tea after meals can prevent the occurrence of tartar and tooth decay.
Scientists have proved through long-term experiments that letting white rats eat feed containing polyphenols will reduce the probability of tooth decay. If you don't have time to brush your teeth after meals, drinking a cup of oolong tea to prevent tooth decay is also a good choice.
2. Anti-tumor and anti-aging effects
Oolong tea can promote blood lipid decomposition and reduce cholesterol content. A foreign 1994 experimental report on the efficacy of oolong tea pointed out that oolong tea has a quite good curative effect on patients with hyperlipidemia and hypertension.
In particular, among the 68 hypertensive patients in Gao Xue who participated in the trial, 75% of them showed a downward trend in blood pressure after one-stage test.
In addition, scientific research also found that oolong tea can completely block the endogenous formation of nitroso glue in the body and play a role in preventing esophageal cancer.
At the same time, oolong tea has the same anti-aging effect as vitamin E. Under the condition of taking enough vitamin C orally every day, drinking oolong tea can keep the content of vitamin C in blood at a high level, reduce the excretion of vitamin C in urine, and vitamin C has anti-aging effect.
Therefore, drinking oolong tea can enhance the anti-aging ability of human body in many ways.
In addition, oolong tea also has the functions of anti-tumor, improving the activation of lymphocytes and NK cells, enhancing immune function and preventing aging. Experts have found that oolong tea polyphenols can also absorb foreign bodies in the body and discharge them together.
3, double detoxification effect
Scientific evidence shows that black oolong tea can inhibit the absorption of neutral fat by 20%, and the effect is amazing. However, people who have drunk black oolong tea have twice the fat content in their excrement as those who have never drunk it.
Therefore, black oolong tea can not only inhibit the absorption of fat, but also help the oil to be excreted twice, which has a magical double detoxification effect.
Black oolong tea combines the production methods of green tea and black tea, and its quality is between green tea and black tea. It has both the rich flavor of black tea and the fragrance of green tea, and has the reputation of "green leaves with red edges".
What is oolong tea 2 oolong tea is unique among all teas. It belongs to green tea and is a semi-fermented tea. This kind of tea has to go through many processes, such as sun-drying, air-drying, shaking, deactivating enzymes, rolling and so on. The finished tea after processing has both the fragrance of green tea and the mellow fragrance of black tea.
How to make oolong tea?
1. Oolong tea is a kind of tea with strong anti-foaming property. Usually, the water temperature required for brewing is also relatively high, so the water temperature should be controlled at about 95 degrees. Oolong tea can be brewed with a cover bowl, a teapot for tea set, and soft mineral water for oolong tea.
2. Before brewing oolong tea, all tea sets should be washed with boiling water and soaked with tea, which can not only remove the dirt, but also warm the tea sets, so that the tea leaves can be heated evenly during brewing.
After heating the tea set, you can take 5 to 7 grams of oolong tea and put it directly into the tea set, and then fill the tea set with water from a height.
3. When the water in the tea set is 90% full, cover the tea set and soak for 1 to 2 minutes. At this time, the tea soup inside can be soaked out and poured into the teacup. When one third of the tea soup is left, it is necessary to replenish water for the second time, and then slowly taste the tea soup.
4. When brewing oolong tea, you must master the proportion of tea. When brewing in a teacup, the ratio of tea to water should be around 1 50. If you use kung fu bubble method, the ratio of tea to water should be about 3 to 50. If the proportion of tea is out of balance, it will directly affect the taste of tea soup.

What effects will fat metabolism and active oxygen scavenging have on skin health? Further, the following experiments were done.
In order to find out whether drinking oolong tea is related to skin beauty, we selected 73 healthy China women aged 2 1 ~ 55 as the research objects for clinical experiments.
Let everyone drink 4g oolong tea every day, 2g in the morning and 2g in the afternoon for 8 weeks. Then observe the changes of sebum content and water retention capacity, and take the change as an index to measure the drinking effect.
Efficacy of oolong tea
Medical researchers in China claim that oolong tea can reduce weight. The popularity of oolong tea is entirely due to its fat-dissolving and slimming effect, and this statement does have scientific basis.
Because tannic acid, the main component of tea, has been proved to be closely related to fat metabolism, and the experimental results have also confirmed that oolong tea can really reduce the cholesterol content in the blood, and it is really a rare slimming tea. Experiments show that drinking one liter of oolong tea every day can inhibit the rise of cholesterol.
