We Chinese have always had the habit of drinking tea. In winter, women drinking some jujube-related teas can help replenish energy and blood, while men drinking teas like White Fungus Tea can help reduce internal heat. Therefore, drinking tea in winter is very beneficial for the body. Below, let's explore what teas are good to drink in winter.
