I have read a lot of health reports claiming that both these teas have
weight loss function and cholesterol reducing agents. Does anyone have
any references to this. Which of the two yields better results
Thanks

I drink both lots of pu-erh and oolongs, oolongs are of low-level
fermentation, like Te Quan Yin, and of high-level of fermentation,
like phoenixes.
But I can tell, that the teas can't help you to loose weight. You have
to start your diet (adding fresh water, lots of it, vegetables, some
fruits and removing part of sacharides and all sugar) and start to
move - sports like cycling and swimming help.

I do have some weight-problems, nothing catastrophic, but I could
loose few kg, and teas do not help but lifestyle change do.

Thanks for your reply. I too enjoy oolong tea. I like the rolled up
leaves over the plain flat ones. In the process of manufacture they
are squeezed and alot of the juice is extarcted and left over the
leaf for a good flavor when added to the water. This method
apparantley was developed in taiwan. i have very low cholesterol but
have no way of linking the tea I drink everyday to it.
