Tea has a long history in China and is also a special product of our country. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 300 varieties of tea trees in China, and there are thousands of types of tea leaves. Tea is an essential drink in people's lives in China, mainly because of its rich aroma and refreshing taste. Additionally, tea has multiple benefits for human health. However, different seasons, growth environments, climates, and temperatures give tea different qualities and characteristics, resulting in varying effects on human health. Therefore, it is important to choose different types of tea according to the seasons. Drinking different types of tea in different seasons has its reasons and benefits. In most parts of China, there is a monsoon climate, with spring being mild, summer being hot, autumn being cool, and winter being cold. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that tea should be chosen according to the different seasons. For example, flower tea is suitable for spring, green tea for summer, oolong tea for autumn, and black tea for winter. This approach is reasonable. In spring, people often feel tired and weak, a phenomenon known as "spring fatigue." Drinking flower tea can alleviate the negative effects of spring fatigue. Flower tea has a sweet taste and a fragrant aroma, which helps to dispel the coldness accumulated in the body during winter and promotes the generation of yang energy, giving people a refreshing feeling and relieving the condition of "spring fatigue." Flower tea is also a precious tea that combines the beauty of tea flavor with the fragrance of flowers. In summer, the extremely hot weather can deplete people's energy and make them feel mentally dull. At this time, a cup of green tea is most suitable. Green tea is an unfermented tea with a cooling nature. It can quench thirst, aid digestion, dissolve phlegm, and promote the healing of oral and mild gastric ulcers. Green tea also has medicinal value, such as lowering blood lipids and preventing arteriosclerosis. In autumn, it is most suitable to drink oolong tea, also known as black dragon tea. Oolong tea is between black tea and green tea, allowing you to taste the sweetness of black tea and the freshness of green tea. Oolong tea has a refreshing and mellow taste, with a strong aroma. Drinking oolong tea in autumn can eliminate excess heat and restore bodily fluids. Due to the cold and dryness in winter, it is most suitable to drink sweet and warm black tea, which can nourish the body's yang energy. Black tea contains abundant protein and sugar, which can aid digestion and reduce greasiness. Additionally, black tea has the effects of strengthening the stomach, promoting diuresis, and anti-aging. Research conducted by scientific institutions has shown that black tea has a significant effect on longevity. However, it is worth noting that pregnant women should not drink tea for a long time in large quantities. Tea contains a stimulating substance called caffeine, which can significantly increase the incidence of miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth, and low birth weight.
Warm reminder:
Different people with different constitutions should drink different types of tea. For beginners or those who rarely drink tea, it is suitable to drink high-quality and less stimulating green teas, such as West Lake Dragon Well, Huangshan Maofeng, and Lushan Yunwu. Those who enjoy drinking tea with a lighter taste can choose high-quality roasted teas and some famous teas, such as Jasmine Roasted Green and Flag Gun. For those who prefer a strong and rich tea flavor, they can drink exquisite green teas like Zhenmei and Pearl Tea.
