High Mountain Oolong Tea

Meet Oolong, another member of the camellia sinensis family as is most all tea leaves, this one orignates from the mountainous area in central Taiwan. This type of tea is generally lightly oxidized, which makes it closer to green tea than black tea and thus a moderate amount of caffeine is inside it. Though the processing method creates a light, crisp, and floral taste enjoyed for centuries medicinally and recreationally. This drink is a smooth and uplifting feeling thats packed with plenty of benefits. Its overarching healing ability is in its antioxidants like catechins and flavanoids which protect your cells from damage. This is with of course the nervous system stimulant caffeine but the difference with tea is its content in L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation and reduces stress without causing drowsiness. This is along with vitamins A, C, and E which all are essential for immune function, skin health, and cell protection as well. These paired with the vital minerals potassium and magnesium maintains fluid balance, supports muscle function, and promotes a healthy heart. Its why oolong tea has all the more reason to make feeling energized benefit every part of your day.
