3. 1. Green tea
   
   Green tea is one of the most famous teas for burning belly fat. This is due to its rich polyphenols and a subclass of polyphenols called catechins (antioxidants found in green tea leaves). Catechins include EGCG, which is known to boost metabolism. While other types of tea also contain EGCG, green tea contains the highest amount of these metabolism-boosting plant compounds.
   
   According to a study published last year in the International Environmental Research and Public Health Journal, participants who drank four or more cups of green tea per day had a 44% lower risk of developing abdominal obesity compared to those who did not drink green tea at all. Additionally, a study published in the Journal of Nutrition in 2009 found that drinking green tea along with exercise helps reduce abdominal fat.
   
   2. White tea
   
   White tea is the most delicate and least processed among teas, containing catechins similar to green tea. Because of this, it can promote metabolism and increase fat oxidation, helping with overall weight loss. According to last year's Food Safety and Health Report, white tea was reported to have beneficial effects not only on weight loss but also particularly on visceral fat.
   
   

 

3. Black tea

The catechins in black tea help break down neutral fats. Additionally, theanine, known as a natural sedative, helps stabilize the mind and body, relaxes tension, and alleviates stress. According to a report published in the Journal of Molecules in 2016, polyphenols in black tea have anti-obesity properties, which can assist in reducing weight and visceral fat.

4. Oolong tea

In addition, the tea that helps eliminate abdominal fat is oolong tea. Oolong tea is made from the same leaves as green tea and black tea, and is known as a partially oxidized tea. While green tea is unoxidized and black tea is fully oxidized, oolong tea is produced through a unique process of partial oxidation. This means that oolong tea possesses characteristics of both green and black teas. According to one study, oolong tea also contains polyphenols that promote metabolism and help reduce abdominal fat. An animal study published in the Journal of Nutrition explained that polyphenols in green tea, black tea, and oolong tea can help reduce visceral fat tissue.

5. Pu-erh tea

Pu-erh tea is a traditional Chinese famous tea, enjoyed by ethnic minorities in the Yunnan region. In modern times, it has gained attention for its purported benefits related to weight loss and fat reduction. Pu-erh tea contains a type of polyphenol called gallic acid. This gallic acid plays a role in inhibiting or promoting the excretion of body fat. According to one study, male participants with metabolic syndrome experienced reductions in body fat and body mass index (BMI) after drinking Pu-erh tea.
