First of all: What is Green Tea?  

Green tea is made from the leaves of a plant called Camellia sinensis. It is the most common type of tea consumed worldwide. The tea has been known to have numerous health benefits. One of them is that it contains antioxidants which helps reduce free radicals and also increase metabolism. As you probably know, the processes that allow the body to convert food and drink into usable energy are collectively known as the metabolism. Green tea may be beneficial for weight loss by helping the body’s metabolism to be more efficient. In that way, it has became a popular, yet healthy, way of losing that extra weight.

Also, it has been proven to help lower cholesterol levels. Green tea is very popular with many people because of the health benefits it provides. One of the main reasons for its popularity is because it's easy to make at home. It is extremely easy to make and can be done in a short amount of time. 

When it comes to tea and weight loss, green tea is usually the first thing people think of. This mild, bittersweet variety is one of the most researched tea when is also relatively easy to incorporate into a daily routine. But don't start thinking the green tea burns fat by itself!

 2. Black Tea for Weight Loss

Black tea is one of the most popular beverages around the world. In the US alone, black tea is consumed by more than 40% of the population. There are a number of health benefits associated with black tea. Among them, it's weight loss.

It is also a rich source of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, such as EGCG, which helps to increase the metabolism and burn calories faster. You can also add black tea to your diet to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. 

If you have been drinking coffee, then I am sure that you have heard about the numerous studies which have been conducted to establish the fact that caffeine has the ability to help people lose weight. One of the reasons why people drink black tea is because of its natural caffeine content. If you are looking for a way to lose weight without having to exercise, then it is best to avoid any caloric caffeine-containing beverages such as coffee and chocolate because they will not help you in your quest to lose weight. Also, you will need to take care of your stomach when you are trying to lose weight. It works better without the coffee.

Anyway, my point is: if you drink coffee, chocolate or energy drinks to stay awake, black tea may bell a well-suited substitute for it due it's natural high concentration of caffeine. The exchange is not that hard! You might as well give it at least a try.

3. Hibiscus Tea for Weight Loss

Hibiscus tea has been widely used for hundreds of years to promote healthy blood circulation, boost the immune system, reduce cholesterol, fight cancer, and improve metabolism. It contains essential vitamins and minerals and has been used as a tonic for thousands of years in Asian countries. It is believed that drinking hibiscus tea improves the health of the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. It has been used to prevent and treat a variety of ailments, including colds and flu.

In addition, hibiscus tea is a good source of vitamin C and antioxidants. Because it is also a rich source of vitamin B, it is high in flavonoids, which are known for their anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-allergic, and anti-oxidant properties. Hibiscus tea has been used to prevent and treat a wide range of diseases and conditions, including colds and flu, acne, arthritis, diabetes, and ulcers.

Oh! Did i forget to mention? Hibiscus also helps the metabolism and, like green and black tea, is good for weight loss. Hibuscus tea has so much benefits for your health that it's fat burning properties almost pass unnoticed.

The tea is made by steeping dried hibiscus flowers in boiling water until the liquid becomes a light pink color. Some people prefer to use fresh hibiscus leaves instead of dried ones, but both methods are effective. Which away tastes better for you!

4. Puerh Tea for Weight Loss

The Chinese name for Puerh tea is "Yun Cha" or "Red Tea". History The history of Puerh tea can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty (1644–1911) of China.  The quality of this tea was much favored by the Chinese emperors and was only available to the royal family and the elite.

But enough with history! Let's get back to what this article is all about:

Puerh Tea contains a high concentration of nutrients, antioxidants and potassium, which helps to boost the immune system. It is also extremely low in calories and fat, definitely making it a low-carb beverage.

Puerh Tea’s taste is also similar to that of Green Tea, but its health benefits are more pronounced. It has been clinically shown to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels, lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, and help in maintaining healthy bones.
