Oloong tea properties :
oolong tea has notable antioxidant properties as it is rich in the polyphenols quercetin and catechin. Recent studies carried out by the University of Colorado have also shown how oolong tea is effective in preventing and combating obesity and fatty liver.

Habitual consumption of organic oolong tea has proven effective in the following cases:
