More About Tea

I visited a tea store in Guelph, ON called The Bon The Place(www.teasoftheworld.ca) last week and found a whole wall of teas......oolong, green, rooibus, herbal, detox, black and many other varieties.  I am getting away from coffee in the morning so I picked up a masala chai which is delicious.  I also picked up a sencha fruity that has hints of pineapple and feels a little tropical as a green tea.  While I was in the store the woman working there came by with a hot sample of milk oolong, a semi-fermented tea.  This was my first experience with semi or fermented teas and I really liked it.  Oolong tea has a multitude of health benefits including good dental health and bones, reducing obesity, control of diabetes and high cholesterol.  They believe is it the polyphenols in oolong.  Here is a link to the interesting information I found about this new tea in my repertoire (http://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/beverage/health-benefits-of-oolong-tea.html).  When you purchase tea at The Bon The Place they will also give you take home sample packages of some of the other teas you may want to try.  I will go there again and get some of the teas I only got testers of like the coconut tea.
