What is High Mountain Oolong Tea?

		Oolong is believed to have originated in the Wu Yi Mountains along the western border of the Fujian province. This variety of tea has been further refined and perfected in the lush green mountains of Taiwan, after Chinese planters brought it to the island in the 17th century. This variety of Oolong ("Black Dragon") tea is known as "High Mountain Oolong Tea" (gao shan wu-lung cha). The Taiwan varietals have become renowned among tea connoisseurs as the finest tea on earth. Oolong embraces a wide variety of leaf styles and flavors, and ranges in color from bright green to almost black. The rich flavor and fragrant aroma of Oolong results from a process called "fermentation" (which is really an oxidizing action). Oolong is a semi-fermented tea which retains all the nutrients and natural healing factors contained in unfermented green tea, but without the harsh impact on the stomach that can make green tea disagreeable to some people. This semi-fermented effect is produced after withering (which allows the leaves to soften) by tumbling or otherwise bruising the surface of the leaves in order to break down their cells and release enzymes which darken when exposed to the air. Once the tea has achieved the desired color and flavour development, the leaves are usually rolled or twisted and oxidation is halted by drying. Being semi-fermented, Oolong does not contain the tannins and other toxic compounds found in fully fermented black tea. The best Oolong teas are always totally handmade. This requires great skill and long experience on the part of the tea maker in order to control the cycles of fermentations, rollings, and roastings necessary to achieve perfection. No machine has yet been invented that can match the skills of experienced Oolong tea makers in producing the delicate elegance of High Mountain Oolong Tea. Once you've tasted a fine grade of High Mountain Oolong, properly prepared the traditional Chinese way (using small unglazed clay teapots hand-crafted by master potters), you will know exactly what makes it so special. Many tea drinkers become lifelong devotees of High Mountain Oolong after trying it for the first time.

Benefits of Drinking Oolong Tea Daily

Not only is High Mountain Oolong Tea pleasant to drink, it also has many potent medicinal benefits which are continuously being confirmed by modern scientific research.

Teas contain a number of ingredients that have an influence on the human body. The quantities and percentages of these ingredients differ depending on the extent of fermentation. Oolong tea which is a semi-fermented tea contains a large quantity of polyphenol. Reports summarizing the health benefits of tea state that polyphenols (which are antioxidants / "free radical scavengers") are the primary active ingredients in tea which generate the delicious flavor unique to Oolong tea, and also promote vitality and health.

Conclusions on the study of polyphenols and other active ingredients (in significantly smaller amounts: flavonols, vitamin C, vitamin B6, carotene, saponia, fluoride, zinc, selenium, magnesia) in the tea report that they:

* Lower blood cholesterol (by removing cholesterol deposits from blood vessel walls)
* Kill influenza virus (by producing a clean alkaline environment in the body)
* Inhibit increase of blood pressure (due to "adaptogens" found in the tea)
* Prevent halitosis / bad breath (by alkalising the mouth and stomach)
* Increase protection against development of tumours (alkalises the blood and tissues)
* Inhibit increase of blood sugar (by alkalising the blood and tissues)
* Fight carcinogenic bacteria (by alkalising the blood and tissues)
* Reduce oxidation (antioxidant)
* Cleanse and protect the lungs (by inhaling the aromatic fumes)
* Assist digestion (by neutralising excess acidity in the stomach)
* Promote swift elimination of toxins and acid wastes (mild diuretic properties)
* Suppress aging (antioxidant) * Reduce cavities (by alkalising the pH of the mouth)
* Elevate the spirits (the tea has an uplifting effect)
