It’s been six months since my review of Oolong tea for weight loss. I was not surprised how many people are actually drinking oolong tea on regular basis. It’s a fact that it is as good as green tea and has many beneficial influences over health and well being of people drinking it.

The unique thing about the Oolong tea is that it contains a large quantity of polyphenol. The polyphenol compound of oolong tea generates its delicious flavor and promotes its weight loss, beauty and overall health properties. Read more about the benefits of oolong tea

No wonder why many people showed interest in where they can purchase oolong tea. I will make it easier for all of you by listing 3 highly recommended oolong teas.

All of them are in loose leaf form and have couple of different bag weights - from ¼ lb to 2 lbs. That’s very convenient actually. You choose what quantity you need – smaller for just to try it out, or bigger for your daily tea ceremony

Formosa Oolong Tea 2 lb Bag

Oolong tea gets its name from the Chinese wu-lung, which means “black dragon”. Oolong tea represents the link between black and green tea. This is a beautiful tea with full, refreshing, fruity-sweet aromas and flavors to match.

For smaller quantity go to Formosa Oolong Tea (1/2 lb. Bag)

China Magnolia Oolong Tea 2 lb Bag

The oxidation of this base tea is between 20-25%, making this a very green oolong tea. The tight roll is reminiscent of Tung Ting Oolong from Formosa. This tea is scented with magnolia petals in the same manner as jasmine teas, also from the Fujian province of China.

For smaller quantity go to China Magnolia Oolong Tea (1/4lb Bag)

Formosa Green Dragon Oolong Tea 2 lb Bag

This smooth and aromatic Taiwanese oolong tea is greener than most. Lighter in color, both leaf and liquor, the Green Dragon Oolong is oxidized for a shorter period of time then the darker oolong teas. This makes for an entirely different character, a lighter, delicate flavor with a hint of floral undertones. The tightly rolled leaves expand to reveal a bud and two leaves that can be brewed several times, with each infusion creating a new experience.

For smaller quantity go to Formosa Green Dragon Oolong Tea (1/4lb Bag)

With every order you make you will get a free tea ball infuser as a gift. The limit is one free infuser per order.

Have you tried the new tea flavor by Tazo – the exotic Rooibos Tea? Rooibos (pronounced “roy-boss”) means red bush in Afrikaans (language spoken in South Africa). It grows in the majestic Cederburg Mountains of South Africa. It is often commercially marketed as red tea due to the reddish-brown color of the brew.

The scientific name of Rooibos is Aspalathus linearis, which is part of the legume family of plants and is very popular herbal tea throughout many South African countries. Due to its amazing health benefits and great aroma Rooibos tea is now known and loved in many other countries worldwide.

You should know that the Black tea (the one made from the completely oxidized bud leaves of Camellia sinensis) is also often referred to as red tea by many Westerners. To avoid any confusion in this case I’ll just call this new Tazo Tea - Rooibos tea or African Red Bush tea, instead of red tea.

This new and exotic Tazo African Red Bush Tea delicately mixes the rooibos flavor along with hibiscus flowers, rosemary, lemon and sweet spices.
Tazo Rooibos tea has a deep amber color and delicious and complex tea-like flavor. Its unique flavor is so delightful because of the low levels of tannins and the lack of caffeine compared to the fully oxidized black tea or the unoxidized green tea leaves that have high levels of caffeine and tannins.

Rooibos is very rich in vitamins, antioxidants (aspalathin and nothofagin); flavonoids, and minerals, rooibos has been used as an herbal medicine by the Khoisan people for centuries. If you’ve been unfamiliar with Rooibos tea and its amazing antioxidant properties then now it’s time for you to change that and experience the health benefits for yourself:

– the miracle tea that will change you life.

If you love Tazo teas then this new and exotic Tazo Rooibos Tea will become your favorite!

I love drinking coffee, and do you? Actually, I like to take my coffee two times a day – one in the morning (black with no cream and a little sugar) and one in the late afternoon (with cream and no sugar). Strange coffee habit, but that’s me, and how about you? How do you like your coffee?

I prefer espresso for which I have my own espresso machine. But what I found recently is the fact that espresso coffee has less caffeine than the Oriental (aka Turkish) coffee, which I think is very odd but yet it has its logical explanation:

The more the water seeps through the coffee grind, the more caffeine is absorbed into the coffee itself. The water runs through the coffee grind for the espresso for about 20–30 seconds tops, whereas the water in the drip brew machines seeps through the coffee grind longer for as 4–5 minutes, which makes the coffee much stronger.

So if you really love stronger coffee, but you are still not ready to give up on you favorite espresso, then I suggest you to try a French press coffee.
