Oolong tea of different years protects high-fat diet-fed mice against obesity by regulating lipid metabolism and modulating the gut microbiota.

Long-term stored oolong tea has recently attracted considerable attention concerning its salutary effect. In this study, the anti-obesity effect of different years' oolong tea on high-fat diet-fed mice was compared. Wuyi rock tea of 2001, 2011, and 2020 were chosen to be the representative samples of oolong tea.
