Some tea types are better than others and in this blog post we will list the top 5 teas that may help you lose weight in 2 weeks.
Number 5
Black Tea
Black tea contains caffeine. It also contains polyphenols which are antioxidants which help to protect our cells from damage to our DNA. The tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis bush. Oxidation is the process where the leaves are subjected to oxygen dense, moist air.
Drinking 4 cups of black tea a day may slightly boost pressure but many believe that caffeine can help boost the metabolism.
Number 4
Puerh Tea
This is a Chinese tea and to be truly called Puerh it must be grown in the Yunnan Provence in the south of China. Why this tea is different is because the oxidation process is done by hand in large woks and is actually stopped part way through so that the moisture can evaporate but the good bacteria remains. It is then set in the sun to dry. The bacteria remains in the tea for a very long time. Puerh tea can be aged for up to 30 years or it can be consumed fresh.
The Chinese highly favour this tea because of its good bacterial properties and it is quite trendy to drink it in China and around the world.
Number 3
White Tea
White tea is harvested while the plant leaves are young and the oxidation process is much less. Its taste is lighter and more subtle. White tea has had many studies done on it. The studies have shown that this tea has a higher amount of catechins in it, which help to enhance weight loss.
