Functions of Pu 'er tea

First, Pu 'er tea is mild and does not hurt the stomach. Modern people have a stressful life, great pressure, common stomach diseases, deficiency of qi and blood, and abnormal diet. Generally speaking, for tea lovers, light fermented tea really has the scruples of "unbearable lightness".

2. Pu 'er tea is a healthy drink with scientific basis. Modern people "make money with their lives" abound. After the anti-cancer and health-care function of Pu 'er tea was confirmed by the medical profession, the concept of "keeping a long life with little money" not only strengthened the belief of tea lovers, but also attracted many new tea friends. In addition, the pharmacological characteristics of Pu 'er tea, such as removing fat, promoting digestion, reducing weight and slimming, have swept the hearts of countless beauty-lovers and middle-aged and elderly people.

Thirdly, Pu 'er tea is easy to brew, foam and operate. Properly aged Pu 'er tea is not bitter or astringent. Even if it is soaked for a long time, it can enter the throat. It doesn't need to compare notes like alpine tea, but it has the fun of tea, even without losing the convenience of tea bags.

Fourth, Pu 'er tea is easy to preserve and its tea quality is changeable. In a certain definition, Pu 'er tea is a "living organism", which is mainly characterized by continuous "post-fermentation" (or post-ripening aging) after the tea body is completed. With the extension of time, its flavor transformation becomes more stable and restrained. Tea bodies in different aging periods have different flavors, which is also tea tasting. Tibetan tea people participated in the "production and completion of tea" to a certain extent.

5. Pu 'er tea is a drinkable antique. Few drinks or foods have the dual characteristics of "drinkable and storable" Pu 'er tea, that is, "everyone can drink it, and the older it gets, the more expensive it becomes". The new Pu 'er tea is everyone's daily drink, while the old Pu 'er tea is "equal in price and gold", which is beyond our power. If it is the "collection value" at the left end of the "Pu 'er balance", it is the "durable wealth" that only rises but does not fall. On the other hand, the right end is the "drinking value", which is the "consumption wealth" of drinking less, and "time" is the "weight" between the two. As the weight of time moves to the left, the higher the collection value of this cake tea, and vice versa. The collection of Pu 'er tea in the distance is similar to that of red wine. Both pay attention to the year, place of origin (winery, teahouse), rarity and preservation.

Health care and pharmacology of Pu 'er tea

For a long time, Pu 'er tea has been highly praised for its excellent tea quality, thirst quenching and refreshing, and special medicinal effects. The pharmacological action of Pu 'er tea has long been recorded in the ancient spectrum. Zhao Xuemin of A Qing Dynasty said in his Compendium of Materia Medica: "Pu 'er tea is warm, ... bitter, and can relieve greasy cattle and sheep poison, but it should not be used if it is weak. Bitter expectoration, defecation. Pu' er tea paste is as black as paint. It is better to sober up first, to be green, to promote digestion and phlegm, and to clear the stomach and produce fluid. " With the change of modern living environment, carcinogenic factors are everywhere, and modern people can be said to be in the shadow of cancer. In fact, as early as ten years ago, the anti-cancer effect of Pu 'er tea was confirmed by the Cancer Institute of Kunming Medical College, Yunnan Province, and was recognized by the world at the 19 1 Asia-Pacific Cancer International Conference.

Mi Le Carobbi, director of clinical teaching in the Department of Medicine of San Antonio, has proved through experiments that Pu 'er tea has an unexpected effect on fat metabolism and has different effects on reducing triglyceride, cholesterol and hematuria. In addition, drinking Pu 'er tea can cause vasodilation, cerebral blood flow reduction and other physiological effects, and it is also used to prevent and treat diseases such as the elderly, hypertension and arteriosclerosis. Professor Beenaert Giacoto of Henri Lundo Hospital in Paris said, "This kind of tea seems to contain one or more special ingredients, which play a role in lipid metabolism." . The book Pu 'er Tea with Unique Efficacy written by Nosuko and Ichiro Yishan in Japan even set off a Pu 'er tea craze in Japan. 199 1 At the International Symposium on Tea and Health held in Shizuoka, Japan on August 26-29, participants showed great interest in the paper "Antioxidant Activity of Tetramethoxybenzene and Its Inducer in Black Tea" by Chinese and Japanese scholars, which aroused strong repercussions. Compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao believe that Pu 'er tea can quench thirst, strengthen the spleen and relieve alcoholism, stimulate appetite and eliminate food stagnation, inhibit bacteria and lose weight. Others think that green tea is cold: black tea is hot; Pu 'er tea is neither cold nor hot, it is economical and practical, and it is generally addictive, so it is called "Bao Li tea".

Pu 'er tea is neutral and healthy, which is more suitable for the stomach of Hong Kong people. Most people like to drink it. Mr. You Yude, director of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Tea Merchants Association, summed up the reasons why Hong Kong people like to drink Pu 'er tea as "five points" (ten words): first, it is strong enough, second, it is resistant to impact, third, it is warm, fourth, it is healthy, and fifth, it is cheap. Pu 'er tea imported from Japan is processed into exquisite small packaged tea, which is called Guifei Tea, Beauty Tea, Bodybuilding Tea, Shu Qiao Tea and Yishou Tea.
