First, drink scented tea in spring.
Most parts of China have a monsoon climate with four distinct seasons: high temperature in spring, hot in summer, cool in autumn and cold in winter. In the days of spring, the spring breeze recovers, and the sun is the spirit, bringing vitality to everything. But at this time, people generally feel sleepy and weak, and there is a phenomenon of spring sleepiness.
People drinking scented tea can alleviate the adverse effects of spring sleep. Scented tea tastes sweet and cool, but its fragrance is pungent, which is beneficial to dispel the cold evil accumulated in the human body in winter, promote the growth of yang in the body, make people feel refreshed and make the "spring sleep" disappear on its own.
Second, drink green tea in summer.
Summer is hot, the sun is like fire, people sweat like rain in it, their physical strength is very high, and their mood is low. At this time, it is better to taste green tea. Because green tea belongs to unfermented tea, it is cold in nature, "cold can clear away heat", which can remove fire, promote fluid production to quench thirst, promote digestion and eliminate phlegm, and accelerate the healing of oral cavity and mild gastric ulcer.
Third, drink green tea (oolong tea) in autumn.
In autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the golden wind is bleak, the flowers and trees are withered, and the climate is dry, which makes people thirsty and chapped. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "autumn dryness", so it's time to drink green tea. Green tea, also known as oolong tea, belongs to semi-fermented tea, which is between green tea and black tea. The colors are blue and brown. After brewing, you can see that the middle of the leaves is blue and the edges are red. It is called "the edge of green leaves". It has both the fragrance and natural floral fragrance of green tea and the mellow fragrance of black tea. Not cold or hot, mild. It has the effects of moistening skin, moistening throat, promoting fluid production, eliminating accumulated heat in the body, and adapting the body to changes in natural environment.
Fourth, drink black tea (or Pu 'er cooked tea and Pu 'er old tea) in winter.
It is freezing in winter, everything is dormant, cold evil attacks people, the physiological function of human body declines, and the yang gradually declines. Chinese medicine believes: "In the cold winter, everything is alive and hidden, and the physiological activities of the human body are in a state of inhibition. The way to keep healthy is to keep out the cold, so black tea is the top grade in winter.
Black tea is sweet and warm, which can nourish human yang; Black tea is rich in protein and sugar, which can warm the abdomen by heating, enhance the cold resistance of human body, and help digestion and greasy. Black tea is also called fully fermented tea because it is fully fermented during processing and oxidizes tea tannins. Fresh tea leaves are oxidized to form red oxidative polymerization products-theaflavins, thearubigins and theabrownins. Some of these pigments are dissolved in water and brewed into black tea soup.
