In autumn and winter, the physiological function of the human body declines, the yang qi is weakened, and the requirements for energy and nutrition are high. Making a cup of warm black tea in autumn can not only warm the body, but also play a role in disease prevention. Fully fermented black tea is the most mild tea.

#2 Avoid autumn tea when drinking tea

Autumn also means the season when autumn tea comes into the market. However, the new tea picked in autumn is not suitable for brewing and drinking immediately, because there are some substances in the tea that have adverse effects on the body. Such as polyphenols, alcohols, aldehydes and other substances are not completely oxidized, and it is easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort, even abdominal pain after drinking.

After the autumn tea comes into the market, it usually needs to be put aside for about 10 days at room temperature. If it is white tea or oolong tea, it will take longer. White tea can be transformed slowly. Oolong tea can be stored for several months before drinking.

#3 Avoid strong tea when drinking tea

In autumn, many people like to take a cup of tea and taste its fragrance carefully. However, some people will brew tea more intensely, believing that only in this way can the tea become more mellow. In fact, in autumn, people cannot drink too strong tea. Strong tea contains more theophylline, and excessive intake of theophylline will cause headache, insomnia and other symptoms.

In autumn, people need to replenish water. Drinking tea can replenish the water needed by the body. Drinking different teas has different effects. What we need to know is that the tea we drink will be different in different seasons.

The content of theophylline in strong tea is obviously higher than that in light tea, which will speed up metabolism and allow the water in the body to be discharged quickly. Too fast water loss is not good for your health. At the same time, it will affect sleep, causing the body to be unable to get sufficient rest, thus causing “spring sleepiness and autumn fatigue”.
