Drinking black tea in the morning hydrates and lowers blood pressure, making it an ideal choice for the morning. After a night's sleep, the body is often in a relatively inactive state. Consuming black tea can stimulate blood circulation while dispelling internal coldness, ensuring adequate blood supply to the brain.
Black tea has a mild nature. Brew a cup after waking up each morning and enjoy it after breakfast. You may also add a moderate amount of milk. It's important to note: never drink tea on an empty stomach. Tea contains caffeine, and consuming it without food allows the intestines to absorb excessive amounts, potentially causing adverse reactions like palpitations and frequent urination. Over time, it may also impair the body's absorption of vitamin B.
Afternoon green tea clears liver heat and promotes urination. Typically, liver heat peaks around noon. Drinking green tea or oolong tea at this time can alleviate this condition. Oolong tea (like Tieguanyin) has a sweet, cooling nature that enters the liver meridian, clearing liver and gallbladder heat, detoxifying the liver, and providing abundant vitamin E to combat aging. Green tea enters the kidney meridian, promoting diuresis and removing impurities to facilitate smooth urination.Additionally, green tea contains exceptionally high levels of tea polyphenols, offering potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Drinking black tea in the evening warms the stomach and aids digestion. After three meals, the digestive system accumulates fatty foods. Consuming a cup of black tea after dinner helps break down accumulated fats, warming the stomach while promoting digestion.
Black tea has a mild and pure nature, posing no interference with sleep.
