Hundreds of scientific studies involving Wulong Tea have been conducted and the results are just piling up: it works.
But what does it do? Where to begin…

Wulong Tea helps lose unwanted pounds. Really helps. Satisfied regular users report losing 30 or more lbs. since they started drinking the tea. And it does this without the use of any unnatural chemicals or lab-made drugs.

There is also a staggering correlation between the active ingredients in Wulong Tea and the decrease in the signs of aging. It works against the free radicals in the skin that cause wrinkles and blotches. Regular users report having a cleaner-looking, healthier, and smoother skin.

Aside from aiding in fighting carbohydrates and burning calories, the tea is also a significant source of antioxidants, which strengthen the immune system and help protect against colds and other forms of sickness.

Studies have shown that Wulong Tea also increases the density and health of bones as well as teeth by significantly hindering the buildup of plaque which causes decay.

Wulong Tea is 100% all-natural and organic, with no artificial ingredients or additives. Regular use has proven undeniably to promote the health and well-being of anyone.

Look into something called Wuyi Tea. It contains a special ingredient found in many teas called polyphenol, which speeds up your metabolism and is a big help in the breaking down and dissolving of fat cells in the body. The difference between Wuyi Tea and other teas? Wuyi Tea is loaded with it.

More results reported are that it’s lowered blood sugar levels and blood pressure. And still more results shared by people are that it’s given them more energy.

While many different kinds of teas have been scientifically observed to help protect against cancer, lower the risk of heart attacks, and increase the strength of bones and teeth, all with varying levels of effectiveness, Wuyi Tea seems to have them all beat. And that’s not to even mention its unique weight loss qualities again.

This special tea can be purchased from Generation Tea, which you can find here.

Its most commonly drank for its property of aiding the digestive process, but also for detoxification as well. It contains many different types of nutritive acids that the body can use for many different purposes.

On top of helping digestion and the body’s detox process, the acids found in organic kombucha tea hinder harmful bacteria, encourage energy production of the body’s cells, combats many kinds of yeast infections, and also aids in the reconstruction of muscles.

Other helpful nutrients in the tea are vitamin groups C and B, which are known for boosting the body’s defenses and resources of energy.

While the tea is the result of the fermentation process, you cannot get drunk from it. Drinking two gallons of it would be roughly the same as drinking a single can of beer. Such a trace amount of alcohol may seem useless in that sense, but it has other benefits. It aids in circulatory system and the lymphatic system, and also enables the tea to ferment continuously, preserving it so that it does not require refrigeration when making it in the home. It needs only to be stored in its brewing container with a cloth on top which will enable it to breathe.

Organic kombucha tea has been long used for its digestive aid and beneficial properties, as well as enjoyed for its exceptional taste with a kick.

Bone china is known for being highly translucent and brittle in relation to strength and durability. It has a characteristic bone ivory coloring and is one of the hardest forms of porcelain made. It’s these fine qualities that make it a perfect material for tea pots and tea pot sets for afternoon or formal service.

Bone china tea pots are constructed basically like any other ceramic tea pot in design, size and shape. Although bone china is very strong, it is not to be heated over a direct flame. As a result, bone china teapots are for steeping and serving hot tea beverages exclusively.

The décor on bone china tea pots are either hand painted on by a master artist or printed with enamel paint for mass produced works. Even pieces created using a transfer print type of artwork are sought after by antique collectors for their delicate design and craftsmanship of fine porcelain.

Bone china tea pots are known for being delicate and having an abundance of ornate details. Care and caution should be exercised in handling because of bone china’s propensity for chipping and cracking.

These two elements make a perfect vessel for heating and serving because once warmed, the tea pot will keep beverages warm for a reasonable period of time. Most modern copper tea pots are steel lined to protect the copper from we’re and tear and any potential corrosive properties of the contents.

Copper tea pots that are steel lined have been known to last generations with daily use. Because of copper’s tendency to tarnish when exposed to air, a copper tea pot will need to be polished often to retain its original shine.

Any number of commercially available cleaning products will help keep retain the original integrity of the piece. Using copper to make utensils for heated beverages seems to have roots in various cultures with many having their own versions of copper tea pots or kettles.

In Russia and parts of Eastern Europe, elaborate urn like tea pots made from copper or other metals are known as  “samovars” and early versions were to be heated over charcoal. Modern models are now made for stove top use or are electrical and fully-self heating.

Because of the brilliance, shine and beauty of some ornate styles of copper tea pots, they are also used as decorative items, particularly in the kitchen. One distinct difference between tea pots for use and decoration is that the latter often is glazed in a protective lacquer to keep tarnish at bay while on display.

Once the English learned how to make porcelain they began to design tea pot set creations that fit with their own burgeoning tea customs. But their inventions were obviously influenced by the design of the Chinese tea pots. China tea pot sets are highly prized for their function and use in formal tea parties.

However, china and ceramic tea pot sets in general are much sought after commodities among antique collectors and tea enthusiasts. As a result, the terms “china” and “porcelain” are now used interchangeably among English speakers and generally refer to construction from the same type of material.

Tea pots made from china are known for their strength and the fact that china is pretty much impermeable to outside elements even before glazing. The properties of china make any object made from it hard, translucent, brittle and glass-like, the perfect qualities to make a decorative yet functional piece like a tea pot.

Unlike their cast iron counterparts, china tea pots are solely made for steeping and serving tea and aren’t made to be kept over any type of direct flame or heat source.

It is said that the rather ordinary looking teapot can turn all of the rainbow colors into a magical teas and that you can actually drink from it. The trick plays out with the magician placing silk scarves of every color into the teapot only to produce “teas” or liquids of each individual color.

The tea pot used in the illusion is usually made of metal and looks to be normal inside and out. It only adds to the confusion and delight of the observer when the performer offers members of the audience multi colored cups of tea from a tea pot that appeared completely empty moments earlier. Every tilt of the teapot by the performer produces another brilliantly colored liquid, much to the astonishment of amazed onlookers.

Another variation on this trick is for the performer to pour the colored liquids from the kettle first. After amazing the crowd with a tea pot that produces a range of “teas” from shades of red, blue, yellow, green, and orange, the magician then pulls open the lid to reveal a completely dry teapot inside and multiple scarves in colors corresponding to the liquids poured earlier. If the trick is performed properly.

The top handle design of the Japanese cast iron tea pot is due to the fact that these pots are designed to be heated over braziers (charcoal tea warmers fore cast iron teapots of this style) and the top handle aids in removing the pot from the fire.

These cast iron tea pots are widely known for their ornate decorations usually formed in relief in the actual casting of the pot. Japanese cast iron tea pots also come in a wide variety of colors, shapes and sizes and this along with the exemplary craftsmanship they display make them highly prized as collectors’ items.

Although the Japanese led the way in using cast iron for a heated drink vessel, the Russians also developed cast iron tea pots called “samovars” that while being esthetically very different than a tetsubin, it performed many of the same functions with similar technology.

Also variations of the iron kettle for tea have been found all throughout Asia including small iron Chinese tea pots, which bear an obvious similarity to their Japanese counterparts. Iron tea parts are not only prized for their beauty, but they are also coveted for their strength and durability over glass tea pots.

With its increased spiritual role, tea drinking along with teapots became gradually more refined. The more sophisticated forms of Chinese teapots certainly paved the way for the delicate porcelain teapots designed in Europe, the earliest known modern form created around 1680. In the early 1700’s, the creation of porcelain was discovered and advanced the crafting of teapots even further by giving yet another medium for the creation of more artistic and esthetically pleasing pieces.

The rudimentary earthen teapot has evolved into a myriad of modern forms we know today including copper, glass and even cast iron teapots. Many electric teapot varieties are also available offering ease and convenience for the user, much to the ire of may tea purists. Despite the availability of teapots in different forms, the silver teapot made popular by the English has still remained among the most used at traditional afternoon teas and formal tea parties. The simple teapot inspired an entire tea culture in the wealthy circles in Europe and America that is still evident among the elite today.

Green tea has been touted as a powerful antioxidant for some time. One of the anecdotal claims of green tea is weight loss. Due to its components of EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) and caffeine, green tea has thermogenic properties, meaning that increased energy and the burning of fat are possible results from ingestion. Clinical trials have yielded mixed results.

Obviously, replacing sugary sodas or chemically laden diet drinks with a cup of green tea is a healthier choice. However, the use of green tea alone will not provide permanent weight loss.
For optimal results, overall lifestyle changes must take place including regular exercise (aerobic and weight-bearing), the proper amount of sleep and the consistent practice of good nutrition.

In addition, anyone taking medications on a regular basis should consult their physician before adding significant amounts of green tea to their daily regimen, as the effect of some anticoagulant drugs can be diminished by green tea use.

As always, a disciplined lifestyle with a focus on healthy habits and constructive thought patterns is more effective than the use of a single product.

The bread for the sandwiches should be fresh and without crusts. Some traditional ingredients are:    Thinly sliced cucumbers on buttered bread
Smoked salmon on dark bread
Egg salad
Pate on dark bread
Cream cheese on banana bread

While the preparation of these sandwiches can be time-consuming, one should plan to prepare them the day of the party and allow just enough time for them to briefly chill in the refrigerator prior to the guest’s arrival. Many items will either solidify and/or discolor if chilled overnight. Unfortunately, this is one event that does not lend itself to making the food the night before. If a “Lazy Susan” tray is available, it presents a wonderful way to display the various types of sandwiches. Plates should be set next to it, so that guests can pick from the tray and return to their seats. In traditional tearooms, its forerunner, known as a “dumbwaiter,” was on display in the center of the room. The sandwiches were also often served by the tearoom staff that brought the tray to each table and allowed the guests to make their selections.

Petit fours, which are small iced cakes, are the perfect finale to the sandwiches and provide the “dessert” course of this small meal.

Upon finding a suitable husband, Victorian women were expected to always be prepared to welcome any person who might come to call. In social partnership with her mate, the Victorian wife was adept at making a guest in her home feel special, and was a true asset to the advancement of her husband’s career interests and her family’s reputation. A beautiful tea service was an appropriate wedding gift, and at least one sterling silver tea service was almost mandatory. Tea and the appropriate finger sandwiches were always a part of the well-stocked Victorian household.

As one of the few nonacademic opportunities for camaraderie outside of the home, meeting for afternoon tea was another way young Victorian women could visit with each other and “see and be seen” within the community. When considered ready for “society,’ they could be observed at a reputable establishment, enjoying afternoon tea and practicing their skills of artful conversation. To this day, an invitation to a formal afternoon tea is an opportunity for any woman to wear the most tasteful and fashionable attire, including a hat and gloves.

If time allows, invitations to a proper Victorian tea should be written and mailed. A last minute invitation would have been thought of as a social slight; however, if it is unavoidable, the telephone can be used to warmly assure any guest who does not believe the invitation is genuine.
The invitation should state the date, time, and location of the event, which was customarily held in the afternoon. A host or hostess should also welcome the wearing of Victorian dress, if available, or at the very least, classically tailored modest attire for the women and a coat and tie for the gentlemen.

The proper exercise of manners was also an indication of the social status of the hosts and hostesses of this era. Invitees to current parties often practice the custom of asking the hostess if she would like help with the food or its preparation. During Victorian times, that would have been considered a breach of etiquette.

A guest contributed to the event by his or her prompt arrival to and departure from the party, as well as providing pleasant, stimulating conversation in between. These events were perfect parties for the introduction of new persons to the local social scene in small groups. Following the party, a handwritten note thanking the hostess and referencing a particularly enjoyable occurrence or food should be sent as soon as possible.
