Drinking tea for health preservation is a Chinese tradition. Some say green tea is good for health, others say black tea is better, and I often recommend red tea for winter health preservation... Each type of tea has its unique properties and suitable audiences. The following 7 taboos are universal for all teas and must be taken seriously.

1. Cold tea: Tea is best consumed warm; cold tea can cause stagnation and phlegm.

2. Tea with strange odors: Some odors, like paint or camphor, may contain toxins.

3. Burnt tea: Over-roasted tea loses its nutrients and flavor.

4. Overheated tea: While tea is brewed with hot water, it should not be consumed when too hot, as it can harm the stomach.

5. Moldy tea: Tea easily absorbs moisture and molds. Moldy tea contains harmful substances and bacteria.

6. Strong tea: Overly concentrated tea contains excessive caffeine and theophylline, which can cause insomnia, headaches, and stomach discomfort.

7. Over-steeped tea: Prolonged steeping oxidizes tea polyphenols and other nutrients, reducing flavor and health benefits.
