Chinese Weight Loss Teas

Most Chinese teas can be used as part of a weight-loss program. Teas increase metabolism and are very low in calories. There are a number of formulas for Chinese herbal slimming tea, and more traditional Chinese teas are also effective, especially pu-erh tea.
  1. Pu-Erh Tea

    • Pu-erh tea is made from a much older form of the tea bush or tree than other types of tea. Pu-erh is made from a large-leafed tea tree and is recommended as a cholesterol reduction tea that can also help people lose weight.

    Oolong Tea

    • Oolong tea is often enjoyed around meal time and increases metabolism. By increasing metabolism, it helps you to burn more calories.

    Green Tea

    • Green tea works on a similar principle as oolong tea. It increases metabolism while only adding around four calories per cup when consumed with your meals.

    Ginseng Tea

    • Ginseng tea improves circulation and also can help increase metabolism, which burns more of the calories consumed during your meals.

    Slimming Tea

    • Chinese slimming teas are herbal teas that often contain ginseng. The teas help regulate appetite and help the body more effectively use food.
