Tea has strong therapeutic effects, which were recognized early by our ancestors. For example, the "Shennong Bencao," compiled during the Warring States period, describes the medicinal properties and effects of tea: "Tea tastes bitter. Drinking it makes one more thoughtful, reduces sleep, lightens the body, and brightens the eyes." The "Bencao Shiyi" from the Tang Dynasty also records that "prolonged consumption of tea makes people slim and reduces body fat." Today, tea's effects for weight loss, body shaping, and beauty are widely recognized both domestically and internationally.
