Tea has been used as medicine for thousands of years and its health benefits have been lauded by health experts.

1. Oolong

Oolong tea is caffeinated and packed with energy-giving nutrients. It’s a great option for mornings and also for drinking before a workout. Oolong is thermogenic, which means that it’s been proven to boost fat-burning.

According to Inspyr, oolong is also known to reduce levels of triglycerides, a type of fat found in the blood that’s been linked to heart disease and other illnesses.
