In the United States, the percentage of overweight individuals has always been much higher compared to other countries. Over the past few years that rate has been rising at an alarming rate. Billions are made each year by the health and fitness companies on products like supplements, diet systems, etc, yet we still have a large population of overweight and obese individuals. People flock to the newest "in" or "fad" diet these days. Not surprisingly wu-yi tea has now made it's way to notoriety.

According to accounts, wu-yi tea's origin dates back to over 400 years ago in China. As we discuss "wu-yi tea", note that we are actually talking about oolong tea which may be a more familiar name to most than wu-yi. Oolong tea is often referred to as wu-yi tea as it is harvested from Mt. Wuyi Shan in the Fujian Province of China.

Since it's original discovery wu-yi tea has developed into much more than just a simple drinking pleasure. Drinking tea has evolved into a respected art practiced in many ceremonies of various customs. On top of that the tea has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for its natural health benefits.

Because of the various health benefits, wu-yi tea has found it's way to the top of the list lately primarily because of it's natural qualities of burning fat. What natural quality does this particular tea have? Well, it's called "polyphenol", and not only is it found in oolong tea, but green and black tea as well. It just so happens that oolong tea is king when it comes to polyphenol as green and black have less amounts.

A polyphenol is a bio-active ingredient that stimulates lipolysis (the breakdown of fat) by activating enzymes that dissolve fat (triglycerides) in your body. This in turn speeds up your metabolism! (increasing your resting metabolic rate) Thus, drinking oolong tea regularly enhances the function of fat metabolism and controlling obesity.

The intricate growing and harvesting processes necessary to produce authentic wu-yi tea is definitely time consuming, which is the reason this type of tea is more expensive than others. Any manufacturers that skip any of these crucial steps aren't producing wu-yi tea the way it was intended and aren't really creating genuine wu-yi tea.

Step One: Following centuries of ancient tradition, wu-yi tea leaves are picked in the early morning sun and then immediately set out to dry and age for a certain amount of time, which will actually depend upon the month of year and the positioning of the sun.

Step Two: After drying, tea leaves are carefully shaken into woven baskets crafted from bamboo, which is said to "tenderize" the edges of the leaf, and then laid out on woven drying mats for curing.

Step Three: After two to three days of curing, the leaves are brought indoors for the fermenting process, which is critical for ensuring the most delicious tea that will also be packed full of powerful antioxidants and fat-burning properties.

Step Four: Next, leaves are hand-rubbed, which stimulates the releases of the various beneficial chemicals and enzymes and also enhances the tea's flavor. Sorting and careful checking for quality are done before the process is complete.

Step Five: You, the consumer, drink the tea at least twice a day, enjoying natural weight loss qualities and the additional positive benefits of wu-yi tea.
