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
Oolong vs puerh

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.
