With the recent plummet in temperatures, winter has arrived too quickly. Before we knew it, people were donning thick down jackets. The autumn harvest and winter storage mean this chilly time is destined for slowly accumulating energy within the body.
Immerse the cold of winter in a Cup of Tea, as soothing as a hot spring bath, warming both the body and the palate. Whenever the cold season arrives, it brings to mind the thought of sipping a warm cup of Black Tea. Black tea warms the stomach, dispels the cold, nourishes the body, and is very suitable for drinking during the winter months.
Taking out some beautifully twisted black tea, a touch of warm water poured in, an enchanting aroma instantly spreads—the taste of black tea is perfect for the moment.
In early winter, one should maintain inner tranquility, mental peace, and a cheerful mood. Black tea is precisely the kind of tea that can bring positive energy. Its bright and vivid liquor is pleasing to the eye, bringing vitality to the bleak winter; its warming and nourishing properties are comforting as the hot cup slides down the throat, delighting the heart and soul.
Black tea in winter can both nourish the stomach and prevent colds. Made through fermentation and Roasting, the tea polyphenols in the leaves undergo enzymatic oxidation, greatly reducing their content, which in turn lessens the stimulation to our stomachs. Additionally, these oxidized polyphenol products enhance digestive capabilities, meaning that black tea does not harm the stomach but instead nurtures it.
Furthermore, the flavonoids contained in black tea have strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, rendering flu viruses non-infectious, playing a proactive role in preventing colds common in winter.
Let the warm liquor replenish the body and spirit, enjoy the present good times with a calm and composed demeanor, plan for the coming year. Sharpening your tools doesn't hinder chopping wood; the chill and slight coldness of early winter becomes the best adornment instead.
