Whenever my parents took me to a Chinese restaurant.  I looked forward to the eggrolls, the fortune cookies, and the very tasty tea.  I never knew what kind of tea it was but for me it was a treat when we got to go the Chinese restaurant.  Later in life my mother-in-law happen to find a cute little teaset with some Chinese tea in China Town, CA.  The tea that came with the set was called Wu Long tea.  I opened it and found just loose tea leaves and had no idea how to make it since I was use to boring old lipton tea in a bag.  It was not until my brother started drinking tea that I found out about loose leaf teas and tea balls and teapots designed for loose leaf tea.  So I bought a tea ball and tried the tea.  Surprise! It was the tea that I loved so much from the Chinese restaurants.  I started drinking a cup almost everyday and when it came time to buy more I had no idea where to buy Wu Long tea, especially since there is not a China Town near my home.  So I searched it online and found out so much interesting facts about my beloved Wu Long tea.  I discovered that it is also known as Oolong tea or WuYi tea.  The name it seems depends on the exact way the tea is prepared but that part I don’t follow as well since I don’t really know the different ways to prepare tea.  I also found out that Wu Long tea’s ingredients are like medicine for the body.  The most advertise affects of drinking Wu Long tea is weight loss or increased metabolism.  Which may explain why I was able to loose my pregnancy weight so quickly after my son was born (I fit into my pre-pregnancy pants only 6 weeks after my son was born).  It also helps increase energy and keeps the body and skin looking healthy.  And it has less caffiene than Green tea which seems to be more popular as a healthy tea, however, more caffiene is not healthier.  Apparently Wu Long tea has been used in China for years for medicinal use and only recently is taking the West by storm.  You can find variations of it everywhere, including a variety of flavors, although the regular flavor of it tastes wonderful.  The price range also seems to vary greatly.  There are some forms of the tea that are suppose to be the best because it allows more of the tea leaves properties to enter into the tea so you get more benefits.  Frankly, I think just plain regular Wu Long tea will do plenty still.  Anyway, I found one particular site (listed below) that had a lot of good information about Wu Long tea and its many medicinal uses.  That site has a link to a great Chinese Herbal Tea store in which I think the price is right.  I also found a link to a really cool store for teapots and teasets.  There is apparently an orignial Chinese teapot called a Yixing Teapot that is suppose to help enrich your tea and is designed for loose leaf tea.  But putting those facts aside I thought the teasets looked really cool and I want a couple of the sets for myself. But I will have to choose one for now and get back to my drinking.  I hope you will enjoy this delightful tea too.
