I was just getting used to green tea when I realized I was drinking "last-year's tea." This year's "it" tea (if there is such a thing!) is wu yi tea. So, are we making a mistake replacing green tea with this new "better" tea? Is wu yi tea just a fad?

Wu yi tea is definitely not a fad in Asian culture. Just like green tea, it's been used for centuries both in Chinese medicine and for traditional enjoyment of the tea.

In the West, green tea became popular when science discovered all of its amazing health benefits. It contains massive amounts of phytochemicals. These protect the plant from free radical damage and disease.

We gain those benefits to protect our bodies when we drink tea. Green tea and wu yi tea can slow aging and prevent disease. The special phytochemicals in tea called catechins can also help burn fat.

When you exercise regularly and drink green tea (or wu yi) you end up burning more calories even after you are done exercising.

The problem has been convincing black tea connoisseurs to make the switch. The flavor of green tea is often deemed grassy by people who are more familiar with the taste of black tea. For this reason, wu yi tea may be the better choice.

There are four varieties of real tea (Camellia sinensis): black, oolong, green and white tea. White tea is the most rare because it is only picked a few times a year when before the leaf buds fully open. Green tea is dried and rolled, but then it is steamed to stop the oxidation process. It has a rather grassy flavor, but the lack of oxidation preserves the nutrients.

Black tea is not steamed, so it ends up being fully oxidized. Oolong tea is right in the middle of green tea and black tea. It is oxidized but not as much a black tea. This preserves more nutrients than in black tea, but it has a flavor more similar to the familiar black tea.

The climate where Wu Yi tea is grown is perfect for producing excellent tea. Wu yi tea is actually oolong tea, but it's named for the Wu Yi Mountain chain where it is grown. It was once only given as gifts to higher ups in Chinese culture. It finally became popular in Western culture, but it's still not widely available in markets. You can find plenty on the internet.

Green tea is a bit more nutritious than wu yi tea, but you may not like the flavor of green tea. You can also look for a wu yi tea with added wu yi tea extract, making it more nutritious than green tea.
