Wu-Yi tea is really just Ooling tea by a different name. See the report below about the wu-yi source company.
No tea can help you lose tons of weight. the actual number of additional calories you'll burn as a result of consuming oolong or wu-yi tea is relatively minor (anywhere between 100-200, depending on a large number of factors). So if you continue to over-consume calories in a significant manner, don't expect either oolong, Wu-Yi, green tea — or any other tea for that matter — to do anything for you.
Urban Myth: Drinking Tea And Weight Loss
Dietician: Beverage Will Raise Metabolism, But Do Little Else
NEW YORK (CBS) ― Millions of Americans reach for that first cup of coffee to get them going in the morning, but as more and more studies support the health benefits of drinking tea, sales have more than tripled over the last 10 years.
Now, as CBS 2 recently found out, a slew of new tea diet products claim they have the right brew to help you slim down.
Next to water, tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world. And whether it's black, green or herbal, studies show drinking tea can be good for you.
"Certainly the polyphenols in tea are powerful antioxidants," said Mary Jane Detroyer, a registered dietician.
Now tea is also being marketed to help you lose weight.
"Drinking tea, can rev up your metabolism," Detroyer said.
Search the internet for "tea diets" and countless products like Wu-Yi Source pop up. Wu-Yi guarantees you will lose weight or your money back. With nothing to lose, except a couple extra pounds, Janet Stoneking shelled out about $150 for a 90-day supply of Wu-Yi Source diet tea bags.
"It was just like drinking a regular cup of tea," said Stoneking.
As recommended by the manufacturers, she also watched what she ate and started to exercise to maximize her results. How much did she lose?
"I did what it said regularly and I had no results whatsoever," said Stoneking.
And when she opted for the money back guarantee, she says Wu-Yi Source didn't respond.
"The rating we gave this particular company was unsatisfactory," explained Claire Rosenzweig with the Better Business Bureau.
It turns out Stoneking wasn't the only dissatisfied customer, which is why the Better Business Bureau is warning customers about Wu-Yi Source.
"Any time there are unsubstantiated claims, any time they are talking about secret ingredients, it's something to be skeptical about," said Rosenzweig.
"Drinking more caffeine might give you a small amount of help but I don't think the research supports you're going to lose 20 pounds," explained Detroyer.
She said tea has proven health benefits but it's not the magical answer to losing weight.

I have tried green tea the pills and the drink and all the ingredients that are suppose to help. Even thrown in Exercise regiment and a diet set up by a dietician. I lost minimal weight loss 5 pounds in 2 weeks. This repeated for about 2mos. I stopped the tea (ran out) the next 2 weeks I lost 12 punds in 2 weeks. Went back to tea and it went back to 5 pounds. So, the tea and pill regiments only hindered weight loss. I am now looking at my old jeans that were 3 sizes bigger than current.
