To answer this question honestly, I would say a little bit of both. You see, tea, especially oolong tea, is a great natural calorie burner. And when combined with daily exercise and proper dieting, it can aid folks in shedding pounds.
Now, you may have noticed that I mentioned "oolong tea" in the above paragraph. That is because wu-yi tea is one of several hundred varieties of oolong that grow in China. Oolong tea (or wu long tea) is one of the four main types of tea classifications. The others are White Tea, Green Tea, and Black Tea. Each type can yield hundreds of varieties!
Wuyi is the name of a mountain range located in the north-western part of China. It is here where a special variety of quality oolong tea grows. This is what we know as wu-yi tea...and is what gave birth to the wu-yi tea diet.
This variety of oolong tea has a sweet nutty and floral aroma and taste which is smooth and very pleasing to the palate! In fact, it is a great variety of Chinese oolong, and in my opinion rivals many top-noted Taiwanese Formosa oolongs!
Now, getting back to wu-yi diet tea, I would like to state that this variety of tea can help you shed pounds since oolong tea in general has a high polyphenol count, which I will explain in detail in a short while. But for now an important note:
Wu-yi tea purchased in tea bag form, which is what many internet marketers are trying to sell folks does not offer the same quality flavor and health benefits found in traditional loose leaf wu-yi tea! This is very important if weight loss is your goal!
All tea is best enjoyed by the whole leaf, so PLEASE do not waste your money on these over-priced wu-yi diet tea products. In fact, did you know that you can get much better quality at a lower cost?
If you decide to go the loose leaf tea route, you will be surprised at the quality and subtle nature of tea! You may also find yourself trying new varieties and develop a fun new habit!

Here is what you will need:
- fresh well-filtered water (avoid distilled water)
- an infuser for steeping the loose leaves
- your favorite loose tea
So for folks who want to start a wu-yu tea diet, or any other tea diet...I hope this short article helped introduce some to a better more cost-effective choice!
