How Does Wu Yi Tea Taste Compared to Green Tea?

I happen to love tea, but it has not always been that way. Coffee was always my preferred beverage as well as diet soft drinks, but eventually, I began experiencing jitters and anxiety after drinking too much coffee or diet sodas. A good friend of mine recommended I try green tea.

Upon hearing all of the amazing health benefits of tea, I decided to give green tea a try. All tea is pretty good for you. They contain phytochemicals that are able to fight free radical damage, which prevents aging and disease. As well, they are a zero calorie beverage that can also boost your metabolism and fat burning.

Wu yi tea also has amazing health benefits, but I found green tea easily at the shopping center. So, I thought I try green tea first.

It did not turn out as planned! The tea had a strange, grassy sort of taste that I just could not get used to. Maybe the green color just made me think of grass. I tried it again and again.

Not wanting to give up, I tried flavoring the tea with honey, sugar, stevia, lemon and even one of those coffee creamers. I realized that adding sugar was sort of ruining the healthy zero calorie beverage and gave up.

After searching endlessly for wu yi tea at local markets, I decided to order some from the internet. You have to be careful because I did find some auto-ship scams. I finally went with a trusted wu yi source and ordered.

Wu yi tea is a lot more like black tea in flavor. It is processed a bit more than green tea, so the flavor is similar to black tea, but wu yi tea maintains more of its nutrients like green tea.

Great! I had found my new beverage in wu yi tea. Age-fighting, disease preventing capabilities AND a great flavor! Oh, and it also aids in weight loss!

Wu yi tea and green tea both contain caffeine, but oddly enough, the caffeine content does not make me feely jittery or anxious. I can even drink wu yi tea later in the day and it does not affect my ability to sleep, yet it still provides energy. This may not be true for everyone, though, and the usual recommendation to avoid sleep disturbances is to avoid all caffeine past noon.

Since switching from coffee to wu yi tea, I have also begun drinking more iced tea. It is simple to brew the wu yi tea and then pour it over ice after it has been cooled a bit. I even began blending it sometimes with green tea and herbal fruit teas for a very crisp, refreshing drink that contains even more health benefits.

You can always try green tea first like I did, but I would recommend wu yi tea.
