According to Compendium of Materia Medica, Chinese medicine believes that Pu 'er tea has the functions of clearing away heat and relieving summer-heat, detoxifying and promoting digestion, removing fat and greasy, inducing diuresis and relaxing bowels, eliminating phlegm and expelling wind, relieving exterior syndrome and relieving cough, promoting fluid production and benefiting qi, and prolonging life. In real life, although some people say that Pu 'er tea only tastes when it is boiled, experts clearly point out that Pu 'er tea still needs to be brewed, and it is best not to boil it before drinking.

This is because Pu 'er tea is boiled and drunk, and the concentration is easy to be too high, which will affect the spleen and stomach. At the same time, it is not easy to control the aroma and taste. Only some old tea with rough leaves can be boiled and drunk, but the time should be controlled in 3 to 5 minutes, and the cooking time must not be too long. It can be seen that Pu 'er tea is suitable for soaking, but not for boiling. If you cook it for a long time, it will hurt your spleen and stomach.

Matters needing attention in drinking tea

1. Chewing tea residue after drinking tea helps to keep healthy.

Some people will chew tea residue after drinking tea, because tea contains more nutrients such as carotene and crude fiber. But considering the safety, this method is not recommended. Because tea residue may also contain trace amounts of heavy metal elements such as lead and cadmium, as well as water-insoluble pesticides. If you eat tea residue, you will take these harmful substances into your body.

The fresher the tea, the better.

New tea refers to new tea that has been fried with fresh leaves for less than half a month. Relatively speaking, this kind of tea really tastes better. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, freshly processed tea contains internal heat, which will disappear after being stored for a period of time. So drinking too much new tea will make people get angry. In addition, the content of tea polyphenols and caffeine in new tea is high, which is easy to stimulate the stomach.
