Is There Caffeine In Wu Yi Tea?

By Jared Rothe

During this day and age caffeine doesn't face the scrutiny it once did in the 1970's and 80's. Back then it was believed to contribute to coronary disease and atherosclerosis today we know that is untrue. Now caffeine is a staple for many in the form of sodas, coffees, tea, etc...

Many plants contain caffeine and it is natural occurring chemical in the world. These plants have been turned into many of the beverages we so enjoy with their full flavored leaves and berries propagated and cultivated for drinks we enjoy. Wu Yi tea is one such beverage and yes, it does contain caffeine.

Modern medicine tells us that caffeine actually offers a wide range of health benefits including reduced cholesterol levels, better mental focus and reduced stress levels. Tea, in particular, has been proven to offer additional benefits such as increased antioxidant levels, improved digestion and a reduced incidence of osteoporosis. Let's take a look at a few of the benefits of consuming Wu Yi Tea.

Harmful free radicals are present in are day to day lives such as cigarette smoking, pollution, and stress. These harmful free radicals cause are body to age and cause damage to our immune systems. Luckily, there are many natural fruits and vegetables with high levels of antioxidants in them. Wu Yi tea contains high levels of antioxidants that help fight against these free radicals that cause aging.

Wu Yi tea and other green teas cause your body to reduce inflammation and helps to maintain healthy blood pressure because your body improves blood circulation and fight against the onsets of cardiovascular disease. Hypertension and lowered blood pressure place stress on the arteries and veins causing the arteries to harden which puts you in particular damage to atherosclerosis.

Improved mental focus: If drinking a cup or two of your favorite warm tea beverage helps to chase away the "drearies" and sharpens your focus, then you are among the 90% percentile of individuals who regularly indulge. But understanding the mechanism that brings about this effect is important for individuals concerned about unwanted wakefulness and caffeine overdose. While naturally processed green teas are known to contain a relatively high concentration of caffeine (200 mg/L per 20+ fluid ounces), achieving toxic levels is unlikely. In the brain, caffeine crosses the blood-brain barrier and aids in suppressing neurologic fatigue that precedes drowsiness. - 17269
