Does adding sweeteners, cream, or milk etc change the effectiveness of wu long tea?
In the word of long time tea expert Michael Sanft – President and Co-owner of Generation Tea: “My opinion is that anything you add to tea changes the properties to some degree. I would not say it is necessarily less effective, but for dieting purposes I suggest to move toward nothing added to the tea. One sometimes needs to work toward that as many people are used to sweet drinks. Once the palate is accustomed to the taste of the tea, no additives will be needed. Some of the teas antioxidant properties could be divereted to the additive.
