Just curious (:

Green tea is the naturally dried tea leaves. When tea leaves are fully fermented, that creates black tea. Oolong is partially fermented tea leaves.

All tea comes from the same plant. White tea is from the newest growth of green tea leaves and orange pekoe is black tea.

I just can’t get ENOUGH of that stuff! I put two tea spoons of sugar and I want to know if this
can hurt the baby? I know its got caffeine I just don’t know how much. I drink about 3 to 4 cups
a day. I’m 11 weeks pregnant from conception. Is this bad for the baby? Should I cut it down to maybe 2 cups a day?

Talk to Dr. My Dr told me not to drink any herbal teas (not sure if oolong has herbs in it too…) because the herbs have not been readily tested by the FDA to be safe for pregnant women. She said plain black tea (with sugar and fruit juices to flavor) is fine but also to avoid green tea until the end because it can cause contractions. I still drink some herbal teas occasionally though… I do believe you are allowed so much caffeine a day and I think it adds up to 4 glasses of tea.

My friend told me, But is it true ?

nope,,
scam number 1300445 of the year.
tea can be good for you but it isnt magic.

no…Oolong is leaf tea…herb tea is made from herbs…read the ingredients on the boxes.

I would first look for it on a website if no stores near you seem to carry it. Then, you can have it shipped right to your door.
If that’s not an option, you can try to head over to your local grocery store’s website. Most stores now have hard-to-find sections where they allow you to send them an email about the item you’re looking for… then if their distributors make the product they can special order if and have it shipped to your local store for you.
Hope that helps…

I heard that Oolong tea can help assist you with a safe diet to lose weight. Does anyone know what foods I should eat while drinking the oolong tea to promote weight loss?

Well, it works as a diuretic. (Helps promote bowl movement and assist in cleaning the liver.) So, pretty good for you. You wouldnt lose much weight off of it though, unless you follow with diet and exercise regimen.
Add more fruit, veggies, and whole fibers to your diet.
Oatmeal, preferably organic can be used alternately with fruits and whole wheat bagel for breakfast. Salad,with light dressing, and maybe a bowl of soup, for lunch. Top off dinner with some nice protein, lean, like chicken or fish. If you are veggie, then tofu is a good source of protein. (Just an example of some of the things you can eat.)
Cut out soda, drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Skim milk has been proven good for weight loss, or if you don’t like plain milk, yogurt. If you like to drink juice, its better to juice your own, because most juice has entirely too much sugar in it. Leafy greens, legumes, etc. Oh, and a little tip, stay away from the Gatorade and powerade, they say it may actually cause you to gain weight if you are not sweating much. Also, if you can, its always good to either have someone do it with you, or join some sort of weight loss support, your chances increase significantly higher than when you go it alone.
Hope this helped!

the regular store chains where im from didn’t carry any such as Safeway and Target.

You can find really good quality asian oolong (wulong) tea online.

I think its much easier to guy it online and have it shipped to you then hunting around for it.

I found some different asian teas online at the link below.

Green Tea, White Tea, Wulong tea (oolong tea), Jasmine White Tea, and Herbal White tea.

They have the same amout of caffeine. But of cup of either has much less caffeine than coffee or cola.

in tannins/tannic acids and too much can cause this problem. I do not feel I am drinking too much, two cups a day, but for the past 5 months. Maybe my body is too sensitive!! Why is there so much info. What are you suppose to believe when there has been so many studies, but with different answer! Frustrating!

If you are only drinking 2 cups a day, that should be fine. Are you drinking enough water daily? Also, have you changed any other dietry habits that may be giving you gas/constipation that could be causing the pain?

All tea and coffee has antioxidants in them so it is much better for you than drinking cola or soda that has no nutritional food value
