Children can drink "big tea", that is, light tea brewed by tea stems. On the one hand, the low content of tea polyphenols will not affect the production of iron in children; On the other hand, the fluoride content is high, and drinking a little light "tea stem water" can effectively protect children's teeth. In addition, ordinary Pu 'er tea, black tea and light tea brewed with low-grade green tea can be given to children.
However, children can't drink fresh tea and tender tea. The newer and more tender the tea leaves, the higher the alkaloid content that leads to nerve excitement. Unfermented tea and freshly roasted cooked tea are very hot inside and are not suitable for children to drink.
Therefore, children can start drinking tea from about 3 years old and brew it into light tea with a little color that can be seen by the naked eye.
