Oolong Tea

OK since we're discussing teas, has anyone tried Oolong.  Many of the same benefits of green tea, not as herbal tasting and a higher polyphenol content (which helps dissolve triglycerides and prevent fat accumulation).  See

Per Wikipedia:

Polyphenols are a group of chemical substances found in plants, characterized by the presence of more than one phenol unit or building block per molecule. Polyphenols are generally divided into hydrolyzable tannins (gallic acid esters of glucose and other sugars) and phenylpropanoids, such as lignins, flavonoids, and condensed tannins

yes this is my point exactly are they referring to epigallocatechingalate? condensed tannins, hydrolyzable?

you cant say polyphenol in the sinulair, its a bunk reference source.

Kombucha is made from tea, I make it myself-I have 20 liters or so sitting in jars brewing in my apt right now.

Maybe it's a good idea to have a cup with three bags in it, white, green and oolong, so you can receive any unique benefits that each may have to offer.
