  • Does wu-yi tea make you lose weight?
    mr burbs paid WAY too much, and it sounds like he got the bottom of the barrel in terms of quality. Anyone interested in this tea should just find a quality tea merchant that sells loose leaf teas. Most of them have the Wuyi teas, and they sell it ...

  • What Is 2012?
    I actually have to amend my answer a bit as I forgot one thing - the Mayan calendar measures very long cycles. The ending does actually denote the end of one of these cycles, which is similar to our millenniums. This is also just like the astrological ...

  • What Is 2012?
    The year 2012 is when the Mayan calendar ends. Some say that the Mayan calendar predicted a lot of events, as it is based on a cyclical view of both the physical and spiritual nature of the universe; it's basically like astrology, but deals with all li...

  • Getting cat urine odor out of the carpet?
    Another vote here for Nature's Miracle. Most pet stores have it or another brand of enzyme cleaner (Nature's Miracle is probably the best, but the cheaper equivalent brands usually work well too). It actually breaks down the stain to get the odor all t...

  • Green Tea - Miracle worker?
    Just drinking green (or any other tea) is not going to make you lose weight on it's own. It can help you loose a little MORE when you exercise and eat right, but it's not going to put you on the fast track to "The Perfect Body". Tea is very good for y...

  • Window memory diagnostic that tests RAM, please help
    Try MemTest86+. You download the disk image and burn it to CD with your favorite CD burning software. Just make sure to "burn image to disk", rather than creating a data CD and adding the file. Once it's done you'll have a bootable CD. Boot to the CD a...

  • How can I delete history simply from my cache files?
    If this is something you want to do on a regular basis, try CCleaner - it's a free program that deletes the history from a wide variety of applications. It also deletes your temp files, which can sometimes free up a LOT of space on your hard drive.

  • Does drinking tea help ward off stress?
    All tea (white, green, oolong, black) is made from the same thing - camellia sinensis, so it doesn't matter what kind you drink as long as it is actual tea. Tea has L-Theanine, which is fantastic at helping you to relieve stress. Studies have indeed sh...

  • What happens when you drink to much green tea?
    Green and black teas actually have about the same amount of caffeine. The difference is generally in the actual tea, and not whether it's green, black, or other. Tea does not have as much caffeine as coffee, though, and it also thought to bind with the...

  • Does wu-yi tea make you lose weight?
    I thought I'd weigh in as a tea enthusiast :) For the most part, tea is tea. All teas (actual tea, not herbal) is made from the same basic plant, so don't buy the hype that green or oolong teas are better than any other. Some teas will have more of ...

  • Wu-Yi tea or Oolong Tea or Wo- long tea?
    Wuyi is a mountain in China that is famous for producing a particular type of oolong tea called yancha (rock tea). Yancha is called this because it grows on the rocky cliffs, and is a general classification for a fairly wide range of teas with similar ...

  • What tea has the most theanine in it?
    Every tea is going to have its own unique ratio of chemicals, but the Taiwan (aka Formosa) high-mountain oolongs have the greatest amount of the thick, sweet, umami (meaty) taste indicative of amino acids (of which L-Theanine constitutes 50%-60% of th...
