How to Choose the Right Pu-erh Tea for Myself?

Tea News · Jan 26, 2026

 

 

For people with a deficient heat constitution, such as those prone to internal heat, constipation, and acne, raw tea and lightly fermented Pu-erh tea are suitable. If you choose cooked tea but are unaccustomed to its bitter taste, remember to add white chrysanthemum, honey, or lotus leaf while brewing.

 


 

Raw tea, like green tea, is cooling in nature. It is not suitable for those with a cold stomach or poor digestion! Only cooked tea has the effect of nourishing and protecting the stomach.

Regarding the slimming effect, Pu-erh tea does have weight-loss properties. Whether it is effective varies from person to person. It is important to view Pu-erh tea's slimming effects rationally. After all, Pu-erh tea is not a weight-loss pill, and no one can guarantee how many pounds someone will lose by drinking it! However, it is undeniable that Pu-erh tea does have weight-loss benefits, though the results differ among individuals. More importantly, drinking Pu-erh tea for weight loss is a healthy approach—it will not make you unhealthily thin or turn you into a frail figure. Pu-erh tea only helps eliminate excess body fat, not all fat.

 


 

The weight-loss effect of Pu-erh tea primarily works by regulating the digestive system, thereby enhancing the digestion, absorption, and consumption of fat—commonly referred to as "scraping oil." However, for those who are not actually overweight but merely feel so, or for those who are "sturdy" rather than "flabby," the slimming effect may be less noticeable. For individuals with "flabby" obesity, the results are much more apparent! Since abdominal obesity is usually caused by fat accumulation and is considered flabby, the effect on reducing belly fat is relatively obvious. At the same time, drinking Pu-erh tea requires long-term consistency. Significant results will not appear in a short period, so do not easily give up thinking it is ineffective. To use an imperfect analogy, taking weight-loss pills is like receiving an intravenous drip—it works quickly but may not address the root cause and can have side effects. Drinking Pu-erh tea is like taking Chinese herbal medicine—it works slowly but regulates your body with little to no side effects.

 


 

Precisely because Pu-erh tea has the function of regulating the digestive system, even thin people can drink it. It may even improve your absorption and digestion, making you stronger! In summary, drinking Pu-erh tea will make you healthier, provided you follow the correct method and consume it consistently over the long term.
