Next, let's talk about the tea nature of various teas, and what kind of tea is suitable for people with different constitutions?
Tea produced by different production processes can be divided into green tea, white tea, yellow tea, green tea, black tea and black tea. The fermentation degree of this kind of tea is increasing from 0 to 90%, so the tea properties are also very different.
Green tea is non-fermented, and only goes through the processes of enzyme fixation, rolling and drying. The technology is not complicated, the content of tea polyphenols is high, and the herbal tea. Yellow tea belongs to micro-fermented tea, and its basic technology is similar to that of green tea, except for a yellow-stuffy technology. It is because it is stuffy yellow that there is slight fermentation, which makes tea not as cold as green tea, and relatively mellow and peaceful.
White tea belongs to micro-fermented tea, and its production process is closest to nature. It only needs to wither and dry, so it retains the original taste of tea. White tea can be stored, and the tea properties of new white tea and old white tea are different. The tea quality of new white tea is cold, similar to that of green tea, while the tea quality of old white tea after long-term storage and transformation is no longer cold, but becomes peaceful, even milder than yellow tea.
Green tea, also called oolong tea, has a fermentation degree between green tea and black tea, ranging from 20% to 70%. The production process of green tea is complicated and belongs to semi-fermented tea. There must be light fermented tea close to green tea and heavy fermented tea biased towards black tea. Generally speaking, due to the large span of fermentation degree, with the increase of fermentation degree, the characteristics of tea change from cool to flat temperature.
Black tea belongs to fully fermented tea. Although 100% fermentation was not achieved, the degree of fermentation was close to 90%. Tea polyphenols are mostly decomposed into theaflavins, thearubigins and theabrownins, which are mild in nature, mellow in taste and less irritating.
As for black tea, it is a typical post-fermented tea, because it is added to the heap fermentation process and then stored and transformed for a long time. The longer the storage time, the better the transformation, the milder the tea and the less irritating it is.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, people's physique can be divided into nine categories: yin deficiency, qi stagnation, special, peaceful, damp-heat, blood stasis, qi deficiency, phlegm-heat and yang deficiency. People's physique is not static, and there may be some changes the day after tomorrow. If you want to drink tea for health, you must choose the right tea according to its properties.
Fortunately, for tea lovers with a peaceful constitution, almost all tea can be drunk regardless of whether it is cold or warm, which is healthy and healthy.
For tea lovers with yin deficiency and blood deficiency, the body is hot and dry, thirsty easily, and their hands and feet are hot, so they need to drink herbal tea. For example, green tea, yellow tea and new white tea.
Tea lovers with blood stasis and qi deficiency are prone to dry and rough skin, dull complexion, thin figure and fragile feelings, so they should drink more herbal tea. Many herbal teas in China have the function of recuperation, especially fragrant teas.
For tea lovers with qi deficiency and yang deficiency, they are easy to feel tired, do not like to talk, are afraid of cold, and often have cold limbs. They should choose warm tea to drink. For example, green tea and black tea with high degree of fermentation, and black tea is also a good choice.
For tea lovers with special physique, allergic symptoms often occur for various reasons. It is best to drink flat tea that is not too exciting, such as oolong tea such as Tieguanyin and Rock Tea.
For tea lovers in damp heat constitution, they may often feel bitter and even have a certain degree of bad breath. The body is damp and hot, which is difficult to remove. We should choose products that are slightly cold. For example, yellow tea and slightly fermented oolong tea, green tea and white tea can also be drunk according to personal preference.
For tea lovers with phlegm-dampness constitution, most of them are overweight, easy to sweat, often shiny and have thick tongue coating, so they should choose to drink more black tea according to the situation.
Everyone's physique, if you don't know, you can ask a doctor to help you judge, and then choose the right tea according to your physique. In addition, everyone's physique may be in dynamic change, not static, so it is not a decision that can't be made to change the taste and choose other teas occasionally.
