Iron-deficiency anemia is a common problem among many young women, especially those who engage in long-term weight loss. Prolonged fasting or extreme dieting can lead to malnutrition, resulting in iron deficiency and anemia. When it comes to foods that can help replenish blood, most people think of animal organs and iron-rich vegetables like spinach. However, few people consider tea as a blood-boosting option. Let's take a look at the different types of tea that can replenish blood and promote beauty.
Longan Red Tea
Ingredients: 10 longan fruits, red tea (as needed), brown sugar (as needed), water.
Instructions: Clean and rinse the longan fruits, then put them in a pot with an appropriate amount of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Pour the tea into cups, steep for a few minutes, and add brown sugar to taste.
Benefits: Both longan fruits and brown sugar have excellent blood-boosting effects. Longan fruits also have beauty-enhancing properties and a rich, sweet taste.
Danggui Red Tea
Ingredients: 10g of danggui (Chinese angelica), red tea (as needed), rock sugar (10g), water.
Instructions: Remove impurities from the danggui and rinse it. Put it in a pot with an appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer on low heat for 20 minutes. Add red tea and rock sugar, and continue simmering on low heat until the rock sugar melts. The tea is ready to drink.
Benefits: Danggui has strong blood-boosting and blood circulation-promoting effects. It is especially effective in treating menstrual disorders and excessive bleeding in women. Rock sugar is used to nourish yin and moisturize the tea, while red tea has beauty-enhancing and anti-aging effects.
Sesame and Red Date Tea

Benefits: Red dates are known as "natural vitamin pills" and have excellent nourishing and blood-boosting effects. Sesame seeds promote the synthesis of melanin, which can enhance hair color. In addition, sesame seeds also promote the synthesis of red blood cells, making them beneficial for blood replenishment.

Jujube and Goji Berry Tea
Ingredients: 5 jujubes, 10g goji berries, rock sugar (10g), water (as needed).

Goji berries have the effects of nourishing yin, tonifying the kidneys, and replenishing essence. Adding rock sugar enhances the nourishing and moisturizing effects.
