Tea can nourish the stomach, but it can also harm it.

1. 'Stomach-Harming' Teas: Cold Tea: The fast-paced lifestyle has made cold tea a popular choice, but in reality, cold tea is 'very cooling' and should be avoided by those with stomach issues. Green Tea: While highly nutritious and anti-cancer, green tea is also cooling, making it unsuitable for those with a cold stomach. Examples like Longjing, Biluochun, and Maojian can cause stomach discomfort. Yellow Tea: Rare on the market, such as Junshan Silver Needle, it is also cooling and not recommended for those with a cold stomach.

Chrysanthemum Tea: With a sweet-bitter taste and slightly cold nature, it can clear heat and detoxify, but prolonged consumption is not advised. Those with a weak spleen or stomach may experience acid reflux. Fujian White Tea: Rare and precious, it is cooling and unsuitable for those with a cold stomach. Raw Pu-erh: While many believe Pu-erh Tea is beneficial, it comes in raw and ripe varieties. Those with stomach issues should avoid raw Pu-erh, as ripe Pu-erh is stomach-nourishing.

2. 'Stomach-Nourishing' Teas: Drink flower tea in spring and black tea in winter. Choosing the right tea depends on individual stomach conditions, especially for those with stomach cold or ulcers. Dianhong black tea is recommended for digestion, appetite stimulation, diuresis, and heart health. Ripe Pu-erh is warm and mellow, warming the stomach and regulating blood pressure and lipids. Jasmine Tea calms the mind, relieves heat, strengthens the spleen, soothes stomach discomfort, and alleviates menstrual pain.
