    Oolong is half black, half green tea, which seems strange that it'd cause you to gain weight considering it naturally has the opposite effect. Were you drinking it plain? Because it, like all plain teas has zero calories... pretty much no nutritional content. Where it gets people is because its quite bitter unless you're used to it, and if you add sugar, well, you've just added a ton of calories.

    OK, I just need to clear this up. Green tea and black tea (and white tea) are from the same plant. They differ in oxidation and processing. Oolong teas are in-between the two in terms of oxidation. Oolong is more a class of tea than a specific tea.

    wulong tea supposed to decrease body fat..at least that's what I read in chinese articles and according to some ancient book of medicine.. make sure you are eating correctly as well..my guess might not be the tea that's causing the weight gain because I been drink wulong tea and havent gained anything..

    Now even with u drinking this tea, are you eating more? B/c I also drink the Wu-Yi tea, along with drinking my 8 glasses of water a day, mixed with the Flat belly diet, and keeping track of every little thing that goes in my mouth. I have lost 4lbs since drinking the tea. Also it may depend on the times u drink them, it recommended to drink one cup before breakfast, and one a half hour before dinner. Since I started doing that is when I noticed the weight going. It's just something to try. Good luck!!!!
