Tea is the best beverage for middle-aged and elderly people. Scientific analysis has shown that tea contains proteins, fats, over 10 types of vitamins, as well as nearly 300 components such as polyphenols, caffeine, and lipopolysaccharides, which can regulate physiological functions and play a variety of health-preserving and pharmacological roles. What are the greatest benefits of drinking tea? 1. Improves Muscle Endurance. There is an antioxidant in tea called "catechins," which can increase the body's ability to burn fat, improve muscle endurance, help fight fatigue, and increase the duration of physical exercise. Regular consumption of green tea shows the most significant effects. 2. Fights Ultraviolet Radiation. Tea polyphenols are water-soluble substances. Washing your face with tea water can remove facial grease, tighten pores, and have disinfecting, sterilizing, and anti-aging effects on the skin. It also helps reduce damage from ultraviolet rays in sunlight, acting as a natural "sunscreen." 3. Maintains Body Shape. The caffeine in tea can promote the secretion of gastric juice, aid digestion, and enhance the body’s ability to break down fat. Regular tea consumption can reduce waist circumference, lower body mass index (BMI), and thus help prevent diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. 4. Protects Against Radiation. Tea polyphenols…

The leaves at the bottom are bright green and the buds can be clearly distinguished. Lushan…

Characteristics of Spring Tea First, after a winter's rest, tea plants accumulate abundant nutrients, making the content of the leaves rich in various substances. Second, the relatively low temperature is conducive to the synthesis and accumulation of nitrogenous compounds, resulting in higher levels of free amino acids, proteins, and other nutritional components. The aroma and taste of the tea will also be better. In a sense, the lower temperatures in some regions of the south may improve the quality of the spring tea. Third, during the spring tea season, the incidence of pests and diseases is relatively low, so pesticides are generally not needed, meaning that spring teas are usually free from pesticide contamination. What are the benefits of drinking spring tea? Benefit One: Most Nutritious The nutrients in spring tea are the most abundant. After a period of rest and recuperation through autumn and winter, tea plants store a wealth of energy. Coupled with the sustained low temperatures of spring, the plants receive ample nourishment while expending little, allowing for a more plentiful accumulation of nutrients. This results in plump buds and leaves, a vibrant green color, and a soft leaf texture. Benefit Two: Highest Amino Acid Content Amino…

I. Poor Quality Manifestations The main manifestations of poor quality in albino tea include overgrowth of new shoots, distortion of buds and leaves, hindered recovery to green, and physiological disorders. 1. Overgrowth of New Shoots Overgrowth is the mildest manifestation of poor quality. When new shoots develop to have two or three leaves, they no longer produce new leaves but instead show a significant increase in stem length. The length of a one-bud-two-or-three-leaves shoot can reach over 10 cm, sometimes even exceeding 15 cm. These buds and leaves are well-albino, but due to their excessive length, they are unsuitable for flat or strip-shaped tea processing. However, there is still room for processing into coiled or curled teas. This phenomenon is more likely to occur in leaf-white type albino teas. Morphology of Overgrown Albino Shoots 2. Distortion of Buds and Leaves Distortion primarily occurs in tea buds that sprout later during lower temperatures. It is characterized by hooked bud shapes, hardened green stems, long and slender leaves resembling willow leaves, twisted leaf surfaces with asymmetric veins, irregular leaf margins, and snow-white coloration that is hard and thin. These buds and leaves cannot be processed into normal fresh leaf shapes, and the…

April is the time when spring tea hits the market. Many tea enthusiasts buy pre-Ming green teas such as Longjing and Biluochun. While these spring teas are delightful before the Ming festival, they do have their drawbacks. Some tea lovers ask why this Longjing that costs thousands of yuan per kilogram tastes so mild and doesn't hold up well through multiple infusions, unlike Tieguanyin or Dahongpao, which are more durable. Could it be that the quality of the tea isn’t good? Why do more expensive teas have a milder taste? Firstly, from the perspective of the raw materials used, more expensive teas are typically made from spring or early spring teas. These teas are picked early, with a high content of tender buds and relatively low levels of catechins, proteins, and amino acids. Catechins and proteins are the primary components responsible for the bitterness in tea, while amino acids contribute to a sweeter and fresher taste. Therefore, in pricier teas, the bitterness is lower, and the sweetness and freshness are stronger, resulting in a milder taste. The more expensive the tea, the richer its internal substances but slower their extraction rate, which explains why premium teas may not have much…

During the scorching summer months, tea becomes a preferred beverage for cooling down. Due to the heat, people tend to sweat more, and this excessive sweating can deplete the body of potassium, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, headaches, poor appetite, and lethargy. However, tea contains a significant amount of potassium, approximately 1.5%, making it both a refreshing drink and a way to replenish lost potassium. Through analysis, it has been identified that tea contains over 500 compounds, some of which are essential nutrients for the human body. The Vitamin C content in tea is roughly 0.5%, which is effective in preventing scurvy. Additionally, tea is rich in various B-vitamins, particularly high in B5, which can help prevent conditions like pellagra and other skin diseases. It also has a high concentration of Vitamin E, which inhibits the oxidation of lipids in the body and has anti-aging effects. It also contains Vitamin K, which promotes the liver's synthesis of coagulation factors. Besides these vitamins, daily tea consumption can also provide proteins and amino acids necessary for the body. According to relevant data, the polyphenols in tea (mainly catechins) have benefits in the prevention and supportive treatment of various cancers, including…

The blood pressure-lowering effects were even more pronounced after 12 weeks of tea consumption. The secret lies in the antioxidant catechins contained within tea, which open protein channels on the membranes…

The enchanting flavor of spring tea from ancient Pu'er trees lies in its rich and sweet aftertaste. After winter dormancy, these ancient tea trees store many nutrients, allowing the growing buds and leaves to synthesize more amino acids. The cold temperatures of winter and spring also slow down the growth of ancient tea trees, which is conducive to the formation of aromatic substances in the tea. Characteristics of Spring Tea from Ancient Pu'er Trees 1. Rich in Internal Substances Spring tea refers to tea harvested and made between the beginning of spring and the beginning of summer. Compared to summer and autumn teas, spring tea has the best quality. This is because after a winter of accumulation, the tea tree transports substances to new shoots and buds when the weather warms up in spring, making the internal content of spring tea the richest. In autumn and winter, organisms are in a state of conservation. While spring tea is resting and recuperating, it stores abundant energy. Additionally, the continuous low temperatures of spring lead to minimal consumption, resulting in even more abundant nutrients within the spring tea. At this time, the tea contains abundant vitamins, especially amino acids, which not only…

Spring is a season of vitality and growth. As the weather gradually warms, people who have grown accustomed to the cold may start to feel fatigued and drowsy. No matter how much sleep one gets, it never seems enough, leaving them listless throughout the day. This is what we commonly refer to as "spring drowsiness." "Spring drowsiness" is not a disease, but it could be an early sign of suboptimal health. Persistent "spring drowsiness" might lead to conditions such as lung yin deficiency, lung dryness and heat, phlegm dampness, hyperactivity of liver yang, or liver and kidney yin deficiency. While "spring drowsiness" is not a serious ailment, it should not be underestimated. How can one alleviate "spring drowsiness"? A cup of tea to revitalize the mind. Spring is the perfect time for drinking tea. Tea enthusiasts generally know that this season calls for more tea consumption to invigorate and refresh the mind. In traditional Chinese medicine, drinking green tea in spring is believed to dispel the cold and dampness accumulated in the body during winter. The subtle aroma of tea not only clears the mind but also promotes the generation of yang qi in the body, which can help eliminate…

Young citron fruits refer to the fruits harvested before they are physiologically mature. These young citron fruits have a high content of essential oils, hesperidin, and low polysaccharides. They possess the effects of regulating qi and invigorating the stomach, relieving cough and phlegm, and promoting weight loss and fat reduction.

As one ages, certain parts of the body's metabolism may slow down, requiring external assistance to…

New ripe Pu'er tea, taking Menghai fermentation as an example, often carries some stack flavors and miscellaneous odors. After all, it spends several dozen days in the heap. However, after two years of storage, a new ripe Pu'er tea has largely lost its stack flavor, replaced instead by a hint of aged aroma (note that this is not the scent of agarwood). This aged aroma can be discerned from the adhesion on the cup. During the early stage of the tea, this fragrance is accompanied by a watery taste, making it indistinct. The thickness of good ripe tea is evident right from the start, but during its initial stages, it is still affected by the water vapor, making the texture less concentrated and somewhat bland. After about two years, the thickness is fully released, making it viscous and heavy on the tongue. The Depth of Quality in Ripe Pu'er Tea The sweetness in new ripe Pu'er tea isn’t very direct; in other words, there’s a straightforward sweetness, but the lingering sensation after swallowing isn’t prominent. If a ripe tea two or three years old doesn’t develop any sweetness, it means its potential for improvement is limited. Observing changes at different…

Tea is a healthy beverage, with many types offering diuretic, antioxidant, invigorating, digestive, and lipid-lowering and blood pressure-reducing effects. However, most people may not know that due to differences in the varieties harvested and processing methods, there are some subtle differences in the internal components of the six types of tea. This makes them each have their own focus in terms of health benefits. So, from a health perspective, the best approach is to choose the tea that suits your body's needs. How do you make the right choice? Which of the six types of tea is best suited for you? Green Tea: Excellent for Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects Green tea, made from fine tender leaves, is completely unfermented, preserving the freshness and natural substances of the leaves to the greatest extent possible. Nutrients such as catechins, vitamins, amino acids, and polyphenols are also retained in greater quantities. Therefore, green tea has significantly better effects in terms of antioxidant, anti-aging, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties compared to other teas. Black Tea: Warming and Digestive-Promoting Black tea is a fully fermented tea, during which chemical reactions occur, producing components such as theaflavins and thearubigins, which largely determine the color, flavor, and aroma…

China is the birthplace of tea and the origin of its culture. Since the creation of the first cup of tea over 4,700 years ago, tea has become the most commonly consumed beverage globally after water. Both ancient texts and modern medical research suggest that drinking tea is beneficial to health. Although all teas originate from the same plant—the tea plant—different oxidation levels determine their variety. For example, green tea is an unfermented type, meaning it contains the richest concentration of polyphenolic compounds known as catechins, which are powerful antioxidants capable of neutralizing or preventing oxidative stress caused by oxygen free radicals in the body, thereby preventing damage to cells or DNA. As a result, green tea has anti-aging properties. However, a recent study published in Aging by researchers from the University of Jena in Germany, ETH Zurich in Switzerland, and Huazhong Agricultural University has reached a revolutionary conclusion: rather than inhibiting oxidative stress, the catechins in green tea actually promote it in the short term. Green tea enthusiasts, don't panic just yet—let's delve into what this means. Clinical trials and epidemiological studies have previously shown that drinking green tea is beneficial for health, including lowering blood pressure, blood sugar,…

As spring returns to the earth, early spring green tea is being harvested in many places, and tea lovers can't wait to buy and taste the new batches. So why is early spring green tea considered good? 1. As temperatures gradually rise in spring, rainfall is relatively abundant. Additionally, after a period of rest during winter, tea plants produce lush shoots with vibrant green color, soft leaves, and a rich content of natural compounds. 2. With relatively low spring temperatures, there's an increased synthesis and accumulation of nitrogen-containing compounds. At the beginning of spring, amino acids gather in large quantities at the tips of young shoots, which results in a strong aroma and fresh, pleasant taste that also offers health benefits. 3. The low temperatures in spring slow down metabolism and reduce the presence of tea polyphenols, anthocyanins, and alcohols, aldehydes, and acids, thus making the tea less bitter. 4. Due to the low temperatures and fewer pests and diseases, farmers generally do not use pesticides on early spring teas, ensuring they are minimally contaminated with chemicals. While early spring tea is excellent, please be aware of the following precautions: 1. Although early spring tea is delicious, don't rush to…

Dark tea undergoes external microbial fermentation, which involves not only the enzymatic reactions of the leaves themselves but also the assistance of external microorganisms. Professor Liu Zhonghua notes that in English descriptions, the process for black tea (red tea in Chinese) is referred to as “oxidation,” while dark tea truly undergoes “fermentation.” The wet-piling fermentation is a unique process in the making of dark tea. The wet-piling process itself is the fermentation process, where compressed dark tea leaves are sprinkled with water under controlled humidity and temperature conditions. This promotes the action of enzymes within the tea leaves and the activity of microorganisms, facilitating the transformation of the tea. The wet-piling process itself is the fermentation process. Compressed dark tea leaves are sprinkled with water under controlled humidity and temperature conditions. This promotes the action of enzymes within the tea leaves and the activity of microorganisms, facilitating the transformation of the tea. When the core temperature reaches 70 degrees Celsius, the pile is turned to ensure even temperature distribution, a process repeated multiple times. When all conditions are optimal, the metabolism of the microorganisms, along with the extracellular enzymes they secrete, can break down many substances in the tea, such…
