History of tea
China is the origin of tea trees, and it is the first country to produce and drink tea in the world. The world's first tea book, Tea Classic, was written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty.
Lu Yu was the founder of ancient tea culture in Tang Dynasty in China.
"A bowl of throat kisses moist, and two bowls of broken loneliness and boredom; Three bowls of heartbroken, only five thousand words. Four bowls of sweat, life is not smooth, scattered to the pores. Five bowls of bones and muscles are clear, and six bowls of fairy spirits; I can't eat seven bowls, but I feel the wind blowing under my arm. "
The nutritional value of tea was analyzed and identified.
Tea contains about 500 compounds. Some of these compounds are essential ingredients for human body, which are called nutritional ingredients. Such as vitamins, protein, amino acids, lipids, sugars, mineral elements, etc., have high nutritional value for human body. There are also some compounds that have health care and medicinal effects on human body, which are called medicinal components. Such as tea polyphenols, caffeine and lipopolysaccharide.
tea polyphenol
1 mg tea polyphenols' scavenging effect on excessive free radicals harmful to human body is equivalent to 9 micrograms of superoxide dismutase (SOD), which proves that the anti-aging effect of tea polyphenols is 8 times stronger than that of vitamin E/kloc-0.
Therapeutic tea can be used in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, etc., and has the functions of disease prevention, body building, health preservation and longevity, and anti-aging. Therapeutic tea is used to prevent and treat diseases, especially for patients with chronic diseases that are difficult to heal for a while. As long as you insist on taking it and conditioning it slowly, it will definitely have a good effect.

Suitable for people with chronic diseases and health care, including women with beauty and slimming.

Nature and taste of tea and meridian tropism
Four qi: cold, cool, warm, hot and flat. Because the effect of mild medicine is not as significant as that of cold medicine or warm medicine, although it is five-qi, it is still customarily called four-qi.
Five flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty and light. Plain, we mean plain. Because bland drugs have no obvious taste, they are still called five flavors, although there are actually six flavors.
The twelve meridians: Heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, pericardium, gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bladder and triple energizer.
Medicine is a medicine for one disease, and tea is a medicine for all diseases.
Five flavors

Treatment of tea misunderstanding
Green tea is one of the most valuable health care products in therapeutic tea, but it is not only green tea but also named green tea. Green tea refers to the typical process of taking new tea leaves without fermentation, enzyme fixation, rolling and drying. The color of the finished product and the brewed tea soup retain the green theme of the new tea. Longjing, Xueya Green Tea, Huangshan Mao Feng, "Biluochun", Xinyang Maojian Tea, Zhuyeqing and so on. Everything sold in the supermarket belongs to the category of green tea.
The medicinal value of scented tea is higher than that of green tea, and it depends on personal situation when it is used for health care.
Therapeutic tea is a good choice for health care, recuperation, treatment and beauty. But this is the result of long-term drinking, and it is definitely not immediately treatable. It is actually a necessity of life, just like eating.
Functions and introduction of various teas
About beauty: skin is composed of epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The metabolic cycle of the skin, the popular and standard saying is that the outermost layer of keratin is 28 days. With the change of age, this value will get longer and longer, and it will be about 45 days at the age of 60. The metabolic cycle of skin cells is 3 months.
