Guest guest Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Does anyone know if wu long tea is legal? It is a chinese tea that is supposed to have a lot of other health benefits. While on the subject, what about earl grey tea? Thanks, Agnes UC 4.5 years SCD 8/09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I am unfamiliar with wu long tea, however, I can tell you something about Earl Grey (not whether it is legal or not). That oil of bergamot that gives it the delightful flavor depresses the immune system! I asked my doctor about this and he said yes, it's true. So be aware and for goodness sake don't drink a pot of it when you are trying to shake a cold! Does anyone know if wu long tea is legal?

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Wu long is more commonly spelled " oolong " (and sometimes also referred to as " blue tea " ). It's genuine tea (not a herbal infusion), with an oxidization level and taste somewhere between green and black tea. As both green and weak black tea are allowed in moderation, logic says that there should be no problem with oolong, either -- provided, of course, that there are no extra flavourings or additives!

Ah! Didn't have time to look it up... oolong is slightly fermented, I think, and since green tea and black tea are from the same plant, and oolong is in between the two, it should be legal -- diluted, as always. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hi Agnes, I think you might mean oolong tea. at least that is the way it is most commonly spelled here. I am certain that it should be legal as long as there are no other ingredients. It is similar to black and green tea except that it is partially oxidized. I used to drink it often. It has a slightly bitter taste and is supposed to have many health benefits. It's good for diabetics, cancer patients, people with cavities and those who want to lose weight. I am not sure about Earl Grey since it has oil of bergamot listed as an ingredient. HTH, > > Does anyone know if wu long tea is legal?

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Gee, I should have spotted that! If it's oolong, it's downright good for us (used as we are allowed). Oolong is apparently good for any kind of eczema or skin condition (I have no idea why!) Wu long is more commonly spelled " oolong " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
