Brewing:
Rinsing the tea for no more than 15 seconds. "Nowadays, people like to rinse tea before brewing it. However, through expert experiments, it has been found that rinsing green tea twice results in a extraction rate of over 70% for its active ingredients, while for black tea, it is over 60%. In other words, if tea is rinsed excessively, the nutrients will be lost in large quantities. It is best not to rinse green tea and white tea. But it is worth noting that for those who are sensitive to caffeine, they can rinse the tea once before drinking it, as the caffeine is extracted faster than the tea polyphenols, and rinsing it quickly can remove some of the caffeine."
Consumption:
The most suitable amount is 12 grams per day. For ordinary people, it is suitable to brew tea around 12 grams per day, divided into 3-4 times. People who consume more greasy food and have a large alcohol and tobacco intake can appropriately increase the amount of tea used. Pregnant women, children, people with neurasthenia, and those with tachycardia should reduce their tea consumption appropriately.
Special reminder: Avoid drinking tea that is too hot
Drinking tea is originally for health benefits, but drinking tea that is too hot can increase the incidence of esophageal cancer and other cancers, which is not worth it. The best temperature for drinking tea should be around 60 degrees Celsius, and should not exceed 70 degrees Celsius.
