Nevertheless, these natural substances come in different concentrations in green tea and wu yi tea. The main reason for this is the different fermentation processes that these tealeaves undergo. Green tea is dried and packaged without fermentation. Wu yi tea, on the other hand, is semi-fermented. This means that wu yi undergoes a certain level of fermentation under the sun that of course affects its flavor, aroma and texture, and the concentration of substances in it as well.
Instead of trying to immediately decipher whether green tea is as effective as wu yi, let us try to determine where their differences lie.Tea had been found the aid greatly in naturally keeping our bodies healthy. The substances that can be found in tea include caffeine and tannin. Tannin can be sub categorized into polyphenols, cathecin, and teaflavin/ tearubigin.
The next concentration in tea is caffeine. Caffeine is abundant and research has suggested that it can reduce the risk of parkinsons disease, type 2 diabetes, and colon cancer. Caffeine in the right amount is very beneficial to the body.
Wu yi tea differs slightly in the tannin sub group classification. Wu yi tea has less amounts of cathecin than green tea. Cathechin plays a role in reducing the risk of diabetes, heart failure, and stroke. It is also very important in delaying the aging process.
Meanwhile, wu yi tea has a slightly higher level of concentration of the tannin teaflavin and tannin tearubugin. These compounds are continually being studied because of their natural capacity to lower blood cholesterol levels, anti-oxidant properties, and capacity to prevent dementia in old age or AIDS cases.
Lastly, tannin polyphenols are significantly in higher levels of concentration in wu yi than in green tea. Polyphenols are known to reduce the risks of cancer, diabetes mellitus, degenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, and others. It is a powerful form of anti-oxidant thus helps reduce cholesterol in the body, together with other toxic compounds that may be harmful to our health.
