We recommend two types of stomach-nourishing tea for you.

What tea to drink for a weak stomach —— Black Tea

Drinking green tea on an empty stomach can cause discomfort because the key component in tea leaves — tea polyphenols — has astringent properties and can irritate the stomach, especially when空腹. Black tea, however, is different. It is withered, rolled, fermented, and dried. During fermentation, tea polyphenols undergo enzymatic oxidation, reducing their content and consequently lessening the irritation to the stomach. Furthermore, these oxidized polyphenol products can promote digestion. Thus, black tea not only doesn't harm the stomach but can actually nourish it. Regularly drinking black tea with sugar or milk can reduce inflammation, protect the gastric mucosa, and aid in treating ulcers.

What tea to drink for a weak stomach —— Pu'er Tea

Pu'er Tea inhibits the growth of harmful microorganisms in the human gut while promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria (such as lactic acid bacteria), effectively regulating intestinal function. Its alkaloids can stimulate gastric juice secretion, and its flavanols significantly enhance gastrointestinal motility. Research also found that catechins and tea saponins in Dark Tea (like Pu'er) can kill or inhibit the growth of various pathogens like oral bacteria, Helicobacter pylori, E. coli, typhoid and paratyphoid bacilli, and staphylococcus. Therefore, it notably relieves bloating, stops diarrhea, and alleviates constipation, which is particularly important for office workers who sit for long periods. It is also a folk remedy for diarrhea. Ripe Pu'er tea and flavanol compounds can increase digestive tract motility, thus aiding food digestion.
