- In the tea circle, there is a saying ‘winter red, summer green’.
- Just by reading the words, one can understand its meaning, saying that tea drinking should be combined with the characteristics of tea and seasons, and that black tea is suitable for winter, while green tea is suitable for summer.
- To some extent, this sentence does have a little truth, but not all right.
- Green tea is characterised by clear soup and green leaves, freshness and sweetness, and it does reduce summer heat when drinking it in summer.
- However, due to the green tea process, there is tea green unfermented, so the body of the tea polyphenol content is high, drink more will cause some gastrointestinal stimulation, the need for moderation.
- Especially if the stomach and intestines are not good, excessive intake of tea polyphenols will stimulate the stomach lining contraction, causing discomfort.
- If the hands of green tea, low grade, poor quality, its tea polyphenol and caffeine content is even higher than normal people can hardly accept.
- Therefore, for the sake of your health considerations, it is better to drink in moderation.
- In addition, the summer weather is hot, appetite will be more or less affected, resulting in decreased appetite.
- At this time to drink green tea with high tea polyphenol content, obviously not very suitable.
- Of course, there are tea lovers gastrointestinal function is very good, drink green tea all year round is no different.
- The key is still people like to drink green tea.
- Well, summer is also a good choice to drink some green tea.
- As long as you control a reasonable amount, and try to choose a good quality of green tea, it will not be a problem.

- Because of the saying ‘winter red, summer green’, many people think that black tea is not suitable for summer.
- Maybe it’s because summer is already hot, and when you see the bright orange-red tea, you feel that it doesn’t match with summer.
- Or maybe they think that the aroma and flavour of black tea is more suitable for winter.
- Or, that drinking black tea in the summer will lead to fire, and then have a rejection of psychology.
- But in fact, drinking black tea on fire, is a misunderstanding.
- Drinking tea on fire, mainly and personal constitution.
- Just like some people have ulcers as soon as they drink red dates and cinnamon water, while some people don’t drink it for a day, they have pale lips.
- Therefore, you can see that your fire may not be caused by drinking tea.
- The difference in physique is one of the key reasons for the misunderstanding about black tea.
- And it just so happens that this time of the year is the stage when Tongmu black teas come on the market one after another.
- In the previous few days just on the gold junmei, the aroma is bright and high and rich floral aroma.
- Into the throat, it is floral, fruity, fresh and pure, rich in flavour, thick pulp, soup full.
- This kind of tea broth is so immortal, may I ask which tea lover can resist to drink it again in winter?
- The longed-for black tea arrives, I believe the first time, we can not wait to open and drink.
- If it is because of the saying ‘winter red, summer green’, wait until winter to drink, obviously unnecessary.
- Besides, ‘winter red, summer green’ is just a reference, not a standard answer.

- Among the six major types of tea, white tea is also a popular tea in summer.
- However, the process of white tea is different from green tea.
- The white tea process is the most simple among the six tea categories, which is merely based on withering and drying, no greening, and slight fermentation.
- White tea without greening, tea polyphenols will be reduced day by day with the change of time.
- After a month or two after the production of new white tea is completed, the tea polyphenol content will return to a normal value, one that is acceptable to most people with a normal constitution.
- As a result, white tea has the same freshness as green tea, but with lower levels of tea polyphenols in the body than green tea, making it suitable for most people.
- After the summer solstice comes, the heat is unbearable.
- When you don’t know what to choose when drinking white tea in summer, white peony must be the first choice.
- For example, this year’s (2024) Throwaway Grade 1 White Peony, ‘Spring Mountain Hollow’.
- The best feature is that it has sufficient layers of floral aroma.
- After brewing, the cover aroma is richly layered, with gardenia, magnolia, neem, acacia and water stone ficus flowers ……
- A variety of different natural floral aroma, can be found in the cover aroma, water aroma in the close figure.
- The tea broth in the mouth is fragrant and refreshing, and when you taste the broth, you will feel a refreshing coolness in your throat.
- In the heart, there is also a refreshing coolness.
- So in the summer drinking white tea is excellent, a mouthful of warm white tea down, can reduce most of the heat.

- Some people say that drinking tea in summer is not hot?
- Drinking hot water, drinking hot tea, is the Chinese, carved in the bones of the gene.
- After drinking warm tea, it allows the sweat glands on the surface of the skin to naturally relax.
- After sitting in an air-conditioned room for a long time, drinking hot tea properly can help promote sweating and make your body feel more relaxed.
- After all, sweating Sweating is also a way for the body to regulate its temperature.
- Along with the sweat, the body’s metabolic waste, as well as some of the heat from the body surface, can also flow out.
- After a bout of sweating, it is only then that heat can be emitted from the inside out, thus achieving a natural cooling effect to eliminate the summer heat.
- I believe that many tea drinkers in the summer tea, have had a personal experience, a few cups of warm tea after the belly, not a moment, immediately all around the body.
- Changed to cold tea, iced drinks, certainly not achieve such an effect.
- Although the high temperature and high heat of the weather, the ice of the cool is indeed very exciting, very smooth.
- But this short-lived physical cooling effect is not as practical as a cup of hot tea.
- To relieve the body of summer heat, promote metabolism, get more calm and peaceful drinking tea meditation effect, or more hot tea, heat to heat effect is better.
