Benefits of Koni Puerh Tea
Posted by Phuong on Aug 9th, 2011

Many published studies have been done showing the enormous health benefits of this wonderful tea. Known as the Medicinal Tea and the Wonder Tonic, loose leaf pu-erh tea has been hugely popular for its positive effects on lowering cholesterol, burning fat, and aid in digestion. By helping digestion (particularly of fatty foods), Pu-erh is the perfect tea after a heavy meal. Since it is made from the same leaf as all true tea (green, black, white, oolong), pu-erh tea can reasonably be expected to induce the same mechanisms that attack cancer cells, carcinogens, and help prevent cardiovascular disease. Here are some benefits that make Koni Pu-erh Tea so unique.

Anti-inflammatory and antifungal: What is unique about Puerh tea and separates it from other teas, is Pu-erh is made from a broadleaf variety that promotes microbial activity that results in a tea that is believed to have medicinal benefits, including antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antimutagenic properties, as well as the ability to suppress fatty acid synthesis, which is associated with weight loss and the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

An article published in the Experimental Gerontology suggests, "Pu-erh tea exerts strong antioxidative and lipid-lowering effects and therefore can be used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disorders."

Great coffee alternative: Many habitual coffee drinkers have found that Pu-erh tea's robust, earthy flavor, with its lower level of caffeine, is an excellent substitute for coffee, and it takes milk well. My favorite recipe for a healthy coffee alternative is Koni Caramel Slender latte or Koni Kick the Coffee made with premium loose leaf pu-erh tea. Pu-erh Tea is a great alternative for those looking to decrease caffeine intake but still like a full bodied beverage.

Lower cholesterol: Studies have shown that pu-erh tea helps to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. After a French study of the tea on patients with high levels of cholesterol problems (hyperlipidemia) in which half were given 3-4 cups per day, in just one month the results were significantly reduced cholesterol levels. At China`s Kunming Medical College, another study that consisted of 86 patients with unusually high levels of blood cholesterol examined the differences in the treatment of patients with Pu-erh tea verses conventional cholesterol medication. 55 of the patients were given a regimented dose of pu-erh tea three times a day; the other 31 were given a cholesterol lowering drug called PCIB in doses of 1/2 a gram 3 times a day. At the end of a two month period, the patients drinking the Pu-erh tea showed a 64.29% reduction in blood cholesterol levels in comparison to 66.67% for the group taking PCIB.

Lower blood pressure: According to an article in Preventative Medicine, antioxidants called flavonoids, found in tea, are considered to be responsible for the reduction in blood pressure, hardening of the arteries and the amount of LDL or bad cholesterol in the blood stream.

Chinese medicine: The Chinese believe that Pu-erh has even greater health properties than other teas. From a Chinese Medical point of view, Pu-erh invigorates the Spleen, disinhibits dampness, clears stomach heat, descends stomach qi and counteracts alcohol toxins.

Weight loss: Pu-erh's ability to aid fat metabolism has lead to claims that it can assist in weight loss regimens. It has been found that the minerals as well as anti-oxidants present in this tea helps in the suppression of fatty acid. That is, even if you consume food which contains fat, drinking pu-erh will make it neutral and will help in the weight loss process in a natural way. One cup of pu-erh tea with each meal has shown to stimulate weight loss. Drink a cup of Koni Caramel Slender during and after your meal for one month and decide for yourself.

If you haven't tried a cup of Koni Caramel Slender puerh tea, now is the time! Not only is it delicious, but this pu-erh tea is a great way to eliminate free radicals within the body, lower your cholesterol and blood pressure, fight cancer, and possibly look a little younger one cup at a time.
