Abstract: Dark tea is a traditional and unique tea product in China and has become a research topic of high interest in recent years due to its significant hypolipidemic effect. Meanwhile, dark tea also has the capability to regulate hyperlipidemia; however, its hypoliplidemic mechanism is complex. In this paper, the regulation of hyperlipidemia and the hypolipidemic mechanism of dark tea are reviewed.

Key words: dark tea, hyperlipoidemia, hypolipidemic effect, functional mechanism
