White tea actually cools the body. It is a minimally processed type of tea. White tea's nature is inherently cool, and during its production, it is merely sun-dried or gently dried over low heat without undergoing any other processes like steaming or rolling. Therefore, its inherent properties remain intact, making it particularly effective for reducing fever and cooling the body. If you experience symptoms such as swollen gums or canker sores due to heatiness, drinking some white tea may help alleviate these issues. Does White Tea Cool the Body or Cause Heatiness? In the "Compendium of Materia Medica," Li Shizhen recorded that "white tea is cool in nature, similar to rhino horn." Traditional Chinese medicine has proven that white tea has a slightly warm, yet cool nature, and is effective for reducing fever, cooling the body, and eliminating dampness and toxins. For a long time, in white tea-producing areas like Fuding, a concoction of white tea and rock sugar has been used to cool the body, relieve dryness, treat toothaches, constipation, and discomfort from being out of one's element. Aged white tea is even used to treat illnesses like measles and fevers in children. Moreover, drinking white tea can alleviate…

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…

Green tea is one of the main types of tea in China, belonging to the category of non-fermented teas. It is made from fresh tea leaves through processes such as fixation, rolling, and drying. Notable varieties of green tea include Biluochun, Zhaopo tea, West Lake Longjing, Lushan Cloud Mist, Dawu green tea, and Jingu Luhao, among others. Green Tea Production Process The processing of green tea can be simply divided into three steps: fixation, rolling, and drying, with the key step being fixation. Fresh leaves undergo fixation, which deactivates enzymes, allowing the various chemical components within to undergo physical and chemical changes primarily due to heat, forming the characteristic qualities of green tea. 1. Fixation During withering and fixation, the internal moisture of the leaves evaporates, and the enzymatic activity is destroyed, preventing further oxidation. This allows for the evaporation of low-boiling-point aromatic compounds while preserving high-boiling-point aromatics, locking in the intrinsic aroma of the tea. As the temperature rises, high-boiling-point aromatic substances become more prominent. This process also evaporates moisture from the leaves, making them softer and preparing them for rolling. Shaking fixation involves lifting the leaves to facilitate moisture loss and the release of grassy odors, allowing a…

Drinking Pu'er tea has certain taboos, such as unsuitability for those with sleep disorders, hypoglycemic patients, and individuals with gastric ulcers. Other points to consider include avoiding excessive consumption and being mindful of the timing of drinking. 1. Avoid strong Pu'er tea on an empty stomach It is generally recommended to drink tea lightly, as consuming strong tea can be detrimental to health. In particular, drinking strong tea on an empty stomach can irritate the digestive system. Some people prefer strong tea, finding light tea tasteless, but long-term consumption of strong tea can harm health. Although Pu'er tea has a digestive and stomach-soothing effect, drinking strong Pu'er tea on an empty stomach can increase gastrointestinal motility. Drinking strong raw Pu'er tea on an empty stomach can easily irritate and damage the stomach lining. Over time, this can lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and may cause feelings of hunger. In severe cases, it can result in a hypoglycemic state, which is detrimental to health. Drinking strong Pu'er tea on an empty stomach should be avoided; instead, drink according to personal preference and timing. As the saying goes, "Tea on an empty stomach causes palpitations, and tea before bed makes sleep difficult." 2.…

The aged Tielguanyin tea from Anxi (National Standard: Aged Fragrant Tielguanyin from Anxi) has a rich, smooth, and sweet taste. It offers various health benefits such as anti-aging, prevention of arteriosclerosis, diabetes management, weight loss, protection against tooth decay, antibacterial and antidiarrheal properties, heat-clearing and fire-reducing effects, invigoration, sobriety promotion, and hangover relief. What is Aged Tea? Aged fragrant Tielguanyin is made from "Tielguanyin raw tea." Before the national standard for aged fragrant Tielguanyin was established, it was mainly produced and stored in small batches, typically through the natural aging and maturation of strong fragrant Tielguanyin. Now, aged fragrant Tielguanyin has entered a new stage of mass production. It is made from "Tielguanyin raw tea" using unique processes such as baking and storing for over five years. Tielguanyin raw tea must undergo scientific storage to become aged fragrant Tielguanyin. This process includes a unique baking technique where the tea must be evenly and thoroughly baked to control its moisture content within 7%. This step is essential. During the storage of aged Tielguanyin, internal biochemical transformations occur, especially in the reduction of polyphenols and caffeine. These changes help reduce the tea's stimulating effect on the digestive system, making the flavor smoother…

 Fermented tea is a type of tea production process, referring to tea made after the tea leaves have undergone withering, cutting, fermentation, and drying in the initial manufacturing steps to produce crude tea, which is then refined. Depending on the degree of fermentation of the tea leaves, fermented teas can be categorized into lightly fermented tea, semi-fermented tea, fully fermented tea, and post-fermented tea. Lightly Fermented Lightly fermented refers to teas that do not undergo a fermentation process, such as green tea. This category of tea has a natural aroma and a refreshing taste. However, it is relatively cooling in nature, and while it can help reduce internal heat, it should not be consumed regularly over long periods. Semi-Fermented Semi-fermented refers to the process where the chlorophyll in the tea leaves is destroyed during production, and the fermentation degree ranges from 20% to 70%. Examples include Tieguanyin and Wuyi tea, which are considered semi-fermented teas. Semi-fermented teas contain higher levels of polyphenols, aldehydes, and alcohols, making them more likely to induce stomach problems for people with poor gastrointestinal function. Additionally, they contain caffeine, active alkaloids, and various aromatic substances that can stimulate the central nervous system. People with neurasthenia, heart…

The start of Fu marks the entry into the period of the year with concentrated rainfall and the hottest days. The ancients believed this time to be characterized by high temperatures, high humidity, and long daylight hours, as well as a period when Yin energy begins to rise. As the saying goes, "The coldest time is in the three Nines, and the hottest is in the three Fux." "Fu" means to hide Yin energy within intense heat, serving as a warning. According to the ancient text "The Book of Flowers," "The heat has not yet reached its peak during this period." The "Book of Han: Notes on Suburban Sacrifices" explains, "Fu refers to the rising of Yin energy, which is suppressed by the remaining Yang energy and cannot ascend. Therefore, it hides, hence the name Fu period." In addition to sun protection and heat prevention, tea enthusiasts should also seize the opportunity to properly care for their bodies. There's a popular saying that "three Fux are for health preservation, and winter illnesses can be treated in summer." So how should one preserve health during the initial stage of Fu? During the three Fux, even light work or exercise can cause…

What precautions should be taken when drinking tea? Tea is closely related to our daily lives, and there are many benefits to drinking it, such as fat reduction and digestion aid. However, there are also several considerations to keep in mind to ensure that drinking tea truly promotes health. Here are some points worth noting. What to Consider When Drinking Tea Regularly 1. How Many Infusions Can a Cup of Tea Have? The number of times tea can be steeped depends not only on its tenderness but mainly on the processing method used. During initial processing, if the leaves are cut, the tea essence will be easier to extract. Conversely, coarser, older, and intact leaves release their flavors more slowly during steeping. For most green teas, the first infusion releases about 50% to 55% of the soluble substances; the second infusion typically extracts around 30%; the third yields about 10%; and the fourth provides only 1% to 3%. From a nutritional standpoint (considering vitamins and amino acids), 80% of these components are extracted in the first infusion, about 15% in the second, and by the third infusion, nearly all have been extracted. In general, black teas, green teas, and flower…

June brings the scent of summer. As temperatures rise and heat intensifies, what can rescue you from this sultry season is not just icy cold soda – while sweet and refreshing at first, such drinks are actually detrimental to our health. To spend a light and breezy summer, drinking Pu'er tea is an option. Besides choosing the right time and method of consumption, Pu'er tea can also be a "good helper" in other aspects of life. A Cup of Pu'er to Dissipate Heat In traditional thinking, one drinks green tea in summer and Pu'er in winter. However, Pu'er tea is also very suitable for summer consumption and has better health benefits than green tea. In hot summers, the body loses more water and minerals, leading to feelings of thirst and exhaustion. At such times, a cup of Pu'er tea, with its tea polyphenols, amino acids, water-soluble pectin, aromatic substances, etc., can stimulate oral mucosa and promote saliva secretion, thus quenching thirst and refreshing the mouth. The caffeine and other components in Pu'er tea can also help to invigorate and refresh your mind. Selecting the Right Type of Pu'er When choosing between raw and ripe Pu'er, it's best to drink raw…

In our daily lives, coffee and tea are indispensable beverages for many people. Not only do they have unique flavors, but they are also popular due to their significant effects in boosting alertness and mental clarity. For many, having one or two cups of coffee or tea each day has become a habit, driven not just by their enticing aromas but also by the invigorating effects they provide. Some people are particularly fond of tea, not only for its stimulating properties but also because of the health benefits associated with the polyphenols found in tea leaves. First, let's delve deeper into the composition of tea. There are three main components closely related to tea leaves: polyphenols, caffeine, and theanine. Polyphenols are abundant in tea and are responsible for the astringency in taste. They include flavonoids, epigallocatechin, gallate (EGCG), and other catechins. Caffeine is a potent central nervous system stimulant and the key component that provides the energizing effect in tea; it is also the source of the bitter taste. Theanine gives tea a fresh and pleasant flavor and helps the body resist fatigue for longer periods.   Now let's look at the composition of coffee. The stimulating substances in coffee…

Drinking tea benefits health, especially when consumed consistently over time. However, it should be based on the principle of "drinking tea reasonably." To truly enjoy good tea, there are certain rules to follow, which vary depending on the person, the time, and the occasion. 1. Choose Your Tea Based on Personal Constitution The value of tea lies in its suitability for you. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, human constitutions can be categorized as hot or cold. Therefore, choosing the right tea according to one's constitution is essential.

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."
