Is Wu Yi Tea as Effective as Green Tea?

By Jared Rothe

Green tea and wu yi tea are both very effective in terms of bringing healthy benefits to the human body. Both of these types of tea contain natural substances that help keep illnesses at bay and facilitate in removing toxins and bad cholesterol from the body. After all, all tea products come from the same source: the tealeaves; the variation in the characteristics are present because of the location where they are harvested from.

Each tea is goes through a different fermentation process. Green tea is fully fermented and is dried and packaged. Wu yi tea is semi-fermented. The difference is wu yi tea is under the sun less and this effects the flavor differently as well as the smell and texture. More vitamins and minerals are lost in longer fermentation as well.

Wu yi and green tea contain substances that naturally aid our bodies such as: polyphenols, cathecin, and tea flavin and tearubigin. These can be categorized as tannin. This is where the differences begin.

The next concentration in tea is caffeine. Caffeine is abundant and research has suggested that it can reduce the risk of parkinsons disease, type 2 diabetes, and colon cancer. Caffeine in the right amount is very beneficial to the body.

Wu yi tea differs slightly in the tannin sub group classification. Wu yi tea has less amounts of cathecin than green tea. Cathechin plays a role in reducing the risk of diabetes, heart failure, and stroke. It is also very important in delaying the aging process.

However, wu yi tea contains higher levels of teaflavin and tearubugin. These make up the natural ability to lower blood cholesterol and prevent dementia from old age.

Wu yi tea contains higher levels of polyphenols than green tea. This antioxidant is helpful in cleansing the body of harmful toxins. This process helps to reduce the risk of cancer, degenerative diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis, and many others. - 17274
