Pu-erh tea, due to its high content of carbohydrates such as starch, pectin, and cellulose, can cause heat and sweating similar to eating when consumed in excess.

In addition, the excessive stimulation of polyphenols in Pu-erh tea can also cause strong contraction of muscles and the nervous system. This contraction excites the body and produces a large amount of heat energy. When this heat energy exceeds the normal body temperature, it is released to the surface of the skin, causing a feeling of heat, and excess water is expelled through the skin, forming sweat.

The greater the heat produced when drinking tea, the higher the content of polyphenolic compounds in the tea. Simply calling tea that causes the body to heat up and sweat after drinking "good tea" is neither comprehensive nor scientific. After all, a relatively high content of a certain compound does not represent the relative harmony of the proportional relationship between all compounds.
