In recent years, I have developed a great love for tea. I used to only drink coffee or diet soda, but I had to change my daily beverages because I developed an intolerance to the strong caffeine in coffee. Soda was also beginning to bother my stomach. A colleague suggested green tea as a replacement.

Upon hearing all of the amazing health benefits of tea, I decided to give green tea a try. All tea is pretty good for you. They contain phytochemicals that are able to fight free radical damage, which prevents aging and disease. As well, they are a zero calorie beverage that can also boost your metabolism and fat burning.

I had heard of wu yi tea, but decided to take the advice of my friend and try green tea before wu yi. Green tea is readily available at virtually all grocery stores.

Unfortunately, the green tea was a bit too “green” for my liking. It had a sort of grassy, bitter flavor. I do not know. Maybe the green color was just a bit too much for this coffee lover.

Before I gave up, I tried virtually everything to flavor the tea. Honey and sugar were no match for the bitter flavor. I tried creamers and still, the strange flavor would not disappear. Finally, I realized I was ruining a good thing by adding sugar and fat and decided green tea just was not for me.

I decided to try to find wu yi tea again. I could not find it at regular grocery stores, so I began my search on the internet. There are plenty of wu yi tea sources on the internet, but I wanted to make sure it was real wu yi tea and that it was not an auto-ship scam. I chose a great wu yi tea and the shopping experience went just fine.

Wu yi tea is a lot more like black tea in flavor. It is processed a bit more than green tea, so the flavor is similar to black tea, but wu yi tea maintains more of its nutrients like green tea.

Yes! No more bitter tea, great flavor, yet all the great nutrients and weight loss boosters!

Wu yi tea and green tea both contain caffeine, but oddly enough, the caffeine content does not make me feely jittery or anxious. I can even drink wu yi tea later in the day and it does not affect my ability to sleep, yet it still provides energy. This may not be true for everyone, though, and the usual recommendation to avoid sleep disturbances is to avoid all caffeine past noon.

I found that wu yi tea is great over ice as well. Make sure you brew it and then let it cool so you do not water down the great flavor. You might even try using green tea with the wu yi tea. I have found a great concoction combining wu yi tea, green tea and an herbal fruit infusion. The blend takes away from the grassy taste and allows a nice, fruity drink with zero calories.

You can always try green tea first like I did, but I would recommend wu yi tea.
