The Benefits and Effects of Dahonggan Pu'er Tea

Dahonggan Pu'er tea benefits include diuresis and quenching thirst, moisturizing the skin, strengthening the constitution, regulating qi and spleen, and also helps promote gut motility and aids digestion. It is beneficial for maintaining dietary balance, while also improving immunity and resistance. It has excellent antioxidant properties and can combat aging. Moderate consumption can also soothe the throat, relieve dryness, refresh the mind, and invigorate the spirit.

High-quality aged tangerine Peel excels in promoting qi flow, resolving phlegm, and relieving coughs more effectively than other herbs. Medicinally, aged tangerine peel regulates qi, invigorates the stomach, removes dampness, and expels phlegm, becoming better with age, as its medicinal properties strengthen over time. Aged ripe Pu'er tea has the three-conducting and one-balancing effect: conducting the airway, bloodway, and foodway, and balancing the body's mechanisms.

Dahonggan has a high content of fruit-based aromatic substances, contains a lot of sponge-like fibers, and has high fructose levels. Therefore, it has good practical effects on protecting the gut and inhibiting blood pressure elevation.

Sponge-like fibers: Good dietary fibers that help promote gut motility and aid digestion, and are beneficial for maintaining dietary balance. They are also rich in various vitamins.

Fruit-based aromatic substances: Dahonggan has a high degree of maturity and a high content of fruit-based aromatic substances. Studies have shown that aromatic compounds in plants have practical effects on controlling blood pressure in patients with moderate to mild hypertension.

The tangerine peel and ripe Pu'er tea ingredients are rich in amino acids, vitamins, ketones, and other nutrients, which can supplement the body's nutritional needs while also nourishing the skin. Moreover, aged tangerine peel has the effect of “warming those who are fatigued and benefiting those who are deficient,” and regular consumption can enhance physical fitness and prevent diseases.

How to Brew Dahonggan Pu'er Tea

Step 1: Warming Utensils

Pour boiling water into a purple clay pot or a lidded bowl to warm them up; this can also be used to rinse the cups before discarding the water.

Step 2: Preparing the Tea

Open the outer packaging of the Dahonggan Pu'er tea, pour out about 6 grams of ripe Pu'er tea from inside the tangerine, and break off two to three small pieces of aged tangerine peel (approximately 2 grams), adjusting the amount according to personal taste (different brands of Pu'er tea may vary in net content, so adjust the amount of Pu'er tea and tangerine peel accordingly based on the size of the Pu'er tea). Place them in the pot or lidded bowl.

Step 3: Rinsing the Tea

Because both the tangerine peel and Pu'er tea have aged, it is necessary to rinse the tea before brewing. Pour boiling water into the pot or lidded bowl and discard the first infusion after 3 to 5 seconds. The first infusion not only awakens the flavors of the tea but also cleanses any impurities.

Step 4: Brewing the Tea

Refill the pot or lidded bowl with boiling water, ensuring the tea is covered, and place the lid on top. Let it steep for around 7 to 10 seconds. The Steeping time can be adjusted according to personal preference for the strength of the brew.

Step 5: Enjoying the Tea

Pour the brewed tea into a pitcher, using a strainer on top to prevent tea leaves from falling through. Remove the strainer and pour the tea from the pitcher into tasting cups. You can now enjoy the tea. High-quality Pu'er tea remains fragrant and bright red even after ten infusions, making it perfect for leisurely or social sipping.
