Before we know it, the real scorching heat has arrived.

Air conditioning, WiFi, and icy watermelon have become essential weapons for surviving the heat; when the sun blazes and the heat is unbearable, you'd wish for an ice cream in one hand and iced milk Tea in the other to cool down.

However, I wonder if you've ever felt that while these cold drinks can quench your thirst momentarily, they don't alleviate symptoms like irritability and heatiness, and are not good for your health. Children with sensitive stomachs might easily get diarrhea after drinking a whole bottle of icy cola on a hot day.

In this era where everyone is talking about health preservation, drinking White Tea is the right way to beat the heat.

Why drink white tea?

White tea, a rare treasure among teas, has a long history and is known as “a year's tea, three years' medicine, and seven years' treasure.” This reputation owes much to its benefits and effects. So what are the advantages of drinking white tea in summer?

Firstly, it helps to reduce internal heat, clear heat, and avoid summer heatstroke.

“Heat” is overcome by “coolness,” and “dryness” is dispelled by “clarity.” In the hot summer, it's easy to become irritable and suffer from heatstroke, and it's necessary to replenish the salt and water lost from the body. While chilled watermelon and refreshing mung bean soup can provide temporary relief, they don't truly hydrate the body. Therefore, it's important to always have white tea ready during the summer.

White tea contains abundant amino acids, especially high levels in Silver Needle, which not only give the tea a fresh and sweet taste but also help prevent heatstroke in the summer. Thus, those who frequently drink white tea are less likely to suffer from heatstroke.

Consider this: when the heat becomes unbearable for children at home, wouldn't it be more beneficial to offer them a cup of white tea instead of an icy beverage?

Drinking white tea in summer can also help remove dampness from the body and refresh you when you're feeling sluggish. In short, there are many benefits to drinking white tea in summer.

Many tea enthusiasts still prefer using a purple clay pot to brew white tea. Do you know what kind of pot to choose for brewing white tea?

Most purple clay pots produce good results when brewing white tea, as white tea is not very picky about the pot due to its light color.

When choosing a pot shape, for white teas like Silver Needle, which have tender and delicate buds, most common pot shapes are suitable. For white teas like White Peony and Tribute Eyebrow, which have large and intact leaves, choose a purple clay pot with a larger mouth and belly, which cools quickly and prevents the tea from becoming stuffy.

In terms of brewing methods, new white tea is best brewed using a quick infusion method to appreciate its freshest and sweetest flavor. On the other hand, aged white tea is more durable and can be brewed longer. The excellent heat retention of a purple clay pot enhances the aroma and richness of aged white tea, making it smooth and pleasant.

During the hottest days, when family or friends gather, a large-capacity pot is a good choice because it best brings out the subtle sweetness of white tea.

The lightly sweet tea soup is very comfortable to drink and can easily cater to everyone's taste, suitable for all ages. Brew a large pot, watch some TV, chat, and sip slowly. A sense of fullness and happiness is contained within this large pot of hot tea.

As the weather gets hotter, to cool off and stay healthy, why not brew a pot of white tea?
