I've not heard of it before DH mentioned it today. Sounds like a
take-off of "oolong" tea which is supposedly a weight reducing tea.
Thanks,

Sounds dodgy to me. Tea is pretty much tea, unless you adulterate it
with flavourings. The only real difference you can make to the chemistry
of the leaf itself is by the different ways of drying/processing it
(white, green, oolong, black, pressed). Oh, and decaffeination.

Drinking lots of any tea will aid weight loss due to the fluid intake and
caffeine stimulation, but it won't magically flush fat out of the body -
one still needs a healthy diet and exercise.

Oolong tea is half-way between green and black tea, being only partially
fermented, but this mob claims their tea has the same amount of caffeine
as green tea. So it's either green tea with a fancy name, or it's oolong
or black tea and they're disseminating a little (or have somehow
partially decaffeinated it).

I suspect they're just putting a marketing spin on a perfectly common
product.
