After drinking tea for so many years, I have actually heard similar statements many times. Many people who love tea think that they should drink green tea in summer, and black tea only belongs to autumn and winter. So, is this really the case? Can't you drink black tea in summer?
Frankly speaking, I don't think so. Black tea is a kind of tea with four seasons, almost regardless of seasons. In my opinion, drinking black tea at any time is a good choice, and there is no taboo.
Black tea, as a fully fermented tea, has undergone a transformation similar to tea in the production process, becoming mild, but not as spicy as pepper. Judging from the "four flavors and five flavors", green tea is cold and cool, and black tea is warm. After the production of black tea is completed, there is not much stimulation and it will not increase the burden. Even in hot summer, drinking a little more black tea will not cause any problems, and it will be beneficial to physical and mental health.
Just because the weather is hot in summer, you can't stop drinking black tea with red soup and red leaves. But in fact, many people think that looking at black tea soup in summer makes them feel hot and dry. In fact, this is a wrong feeling, or a sensory misunderstanding.
From the health point of view, everyone's physique is different, including cold, cool, warm and hot. If it is added to the tea quality of tea, it will be treated differently. For example, green tea has not been fermented, so the tea is cold. White tea and yellow tea are slightly fermented, and the tea is cool. If it is old white tea, tea becomes more peaceful. Oolong tea is the most moderate, neither too hot nor too cold. Black tea is warm, but at the same time it can't reach the realm of heat. Therefore, people with different constitutions should choose the right products when drinking tea.
Back to the topic of drinking black tea in summer. We should make it clear that black tea is rich in carotene, vitamin A and various micronutrients. Regular drinking can eliminate free radicals and bring certain benefits to the body. In particular, it is also a very good choice to make black tea and afternoon tea with some milk brown sugar or ginger and juice mixed together.
If you like to drink original leaf tea, it can also play a refreshing role. Of course, the ultimate goal of drinking tea is actually to quench your thirst and ease your mood. So don't be hard on yourself and don't let yourself fall into some kind of trap of drinking tea. Tea is a healthy drink. Drink whatever you want, just follow your heart.
