Winter is generally cold, and considering the unique constitution of women, who tend to be cooler and softer in nature, it's best to drink teas that are relatively warming during the chilly winter months.

For example, you can opt for black tea, ripe Pu'er, aged Tieguanyin (ripe tea that has been charcoal-roasted), Yan Cha (sufficiently fire-dried), or brew some aged white tea (over seven years old). You can also enjoy some aged dark tea.

Unless you have a clearly hot constitution, it's not recommended for women to drink cooling teas in winter, such as Green Tea, new white tea, lightly roasted Tieguanyin (properly stir-fried ones can be considered, but they are rare in the market), new raw Pu'er, yellow tea, and some other unconventional teas with complex processes that lack proper processing techniques.

In daily life, attention should also be paid to Tea drinking to achieve Health benefits. Below are recommendations for different types of women:

01

Women Frequently Exposed to Computers: Chrysanthemum Tea, Green Tea

Nutritionists believe that in chrysanthemum tea, white chrysanthemums have excellent detoxification effects and can help resist and eliminate accumulated heat, harmful chemicals, and radioactive substances in the body. They are also effective in treating eye fatigue and vision blurriness. The vitamin A in the tea helps restore vision and prevent vision decline. Green tea contains β-carotene, molybdenum, calcium, polysaccharides, and tea polyphenols, all of which help alleviate visual fatigue and protect against radiation.

For women frequently exposed to computers, the best way to combat computer radiation through tea is by drinking it regularly, rather than occasionally. Only by persistently Drinking Tea over a long period will you see good results.

02

Women Seeking Weight Loss: Oolong Tea, Pu'er Tea, Dark Tea

Weight loss experts believe that oolong tea, being semi-fermented, contains almost no vitamin C but is rich in iron and calcium. It has the effect of promoting digestion and fat breakdown. Drinking a cup of oolong tea before and after meals can help prevent obesity caused by excessive fat intake. Oolong tea is not the name of a specific tea but a category that includes Tieguanyin and Yan Cha.

Pu'er tea contains tea polyphenols that can significantly inhibit the rise in cholesterol and triglyceride levels within the body, promoting the excretion of lipids through feces. It also enhances the elasticity of capillary walls, making it beneficial for weight loss and skin health.

Dark tea produces a component called puerol during fermentation, which effectively inhibits the increase in abdominal fat and prevents fat accumulation.

Women seeking weight loss through tea should remember that the diuretic and detoxifying effects of oolong tea are best when drunk hot, while for dark tea, the best option is to drink freshly brewed, strong tea.

03

Is There a Seasonal Approach to Drinking Tea?

From a medical perspective, the human body requires about 1500-2000 milliliters of liquid per day. If we consider this in terms of tea, it amounts to roughly 10 grams per day.

Drinking tea is also seasonal. Generally, floral teas are suitable for spring, green teas for summer, oolong, white, and yellow teas for autumn, and black and dark teas for winter.

Health Precautions for Women Drinking Tea

01

Drink Tea According to Constitution and Tea Nature

Chinese tea is divided into six categories: green tea, black tea, yellow tea, white tea, oolong tea, and dark tea. These categories have different natures and effects on the body, so choose the type of tea that suits your constitution.

Oolong tea is neutral in nature, fragrant, and sweet, suitable for most people. Dark tea is warm in nature and can help reduce fat and oil. Storing it for a while before drinking improves its taste and health benefits. Black tea is warm in nature and is suitable for those with cold hands and feet, weak constitutions, or older individuals. Green tea is cool in nature and is suitable for those with a warmer constitution or those who are energetic. It is also ideal for people who work in front of computers frequently.

White tea is cool in nature and is suitable for a similar group of people as green tea, but aged white tea is suitable for most people. Yellow tea is similar to green tea in terms of suitability.

02

Drink More Fermented Tea, Less Unfermented Tea

The effects of raw Pu'er and ripe Pu'er in reducing fat and oil are similar. However, since raw tea may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with a cold constitution or weaker health, it is recommended that women drink more fermented tea and less unfermented tea.

Ripe tea is not stimulating, easy to drink, and warms the stomach. It can also be combined with various ingredients like tangerine peel and dates, which makes it both delicious and healthy.
