What are the health benefits of drinking oolong tea?

Oolong tea contains L-theanine, which is an amino acid proven to help with cognitive abilities such as increased memory, better sleep, and reduced stress and anxiety symptoms. It also may help you burn more calories throughout the day.

Do I need to add milk to oolong tea?

Good quality oolong tea is best served alone, or with a slice of lemon, to experience its complex flavors and get its maximum benefits. However, many people prefer to add a splash of milk to their oolong tea, and that is fine.

How is oolong tea different from black tea?

Oolong tea and black tea actually come from the same plant, but they are processed differently. This processing gives them different tastes and properties. Black tea is fully fermented and oxidized, which gives the tea its characteristic bitter taste. Oolong tea tends to be sweeter since it is fermented and only partially left to oxidize.
