For tea lovers, even the blazing summer sun cannot stop the desire to drink tea. In summer, carbonated cold beverages run rampant, but often these drinks not only fail to make us feel cooler but also leave us thirstier. Tea enthusiasts need not worry about such troubles.

Drinking tea in summer not only quenches thirst but also helps relieve heat and cool down. In summer, the most popular tea is undoubtedly green tea. On sweltering days, most people prefer staying indoors with their computers or phones. Holding a cup of green tea not only attracts with its vibrant green color but also provides anti-radiation and antioxidant benefits, leaving one feeling more refreshed.

During the long summer, relying solely on green tea might seem too monotonous. Why not add a touch of white to the season? White tea, a lightly fermented tea, is directly sun-dried or baked, known for its uniquely fresh and refreshing broth. Unlike the bold richness of black tea or dark tea, white tea is more like "natural beauty that needs no adornment." So, compared to green tea, what special experiences does drinking white tea in summer offer?

Experts point out that compared to green tea and oolong tea, white tea contains relatively higher levels of tea polyphenols, which are natural antioxidants that can help boost immunity and protect cardiovascular health. White tea also contains essential active enzymes that promote fat breakdown and metabolism, effectively control insulin secretion, break down excess sugar in the blood, and maintain blood sugar balance. Additionally, white tea contains various amino acids with heat-relieving, summer-heat-dispelling, and detoxifying effects. Moreover, white tea has stronger antibacterial properties than green tea.

Thus, those who regularly drink white tea in summer are less likely to suffer from heatstroke.
