One of the chief health benefits of Oolong tea compared to green and black teas is that it contains polyphenols, which act as antioxidants. Antioxidants help to keep free radicals in check, which have been linked to a host of health problems. There is evidence to suggest that the free radicals are linked to some cancers, signs of aging, and cardiovascular disease.
The presence of polyphenols has itself been linked to many health benefits. It has been found to reduce the presence of markers associated with inflammatory diseases, including coronary artery disease. In addition to polyphenol, Oolong tea also contains two other antioxidants. It has more catechin than black teas and more thearubigin than green teas
