With its refreshing taste, light green soup color, and heat-clearing and fire-reducing effects... Green tea has many lovable characteristics. The arrival of hot summer makes cold-natured green tea the preferred drink for tea lovers to relieve heat and quench thirst. But, are you drinking it correctly? There are also misconceptions about drinking green tea; only proper consumption can lead to health!

Misconception 1: Everyone is suitable for drinking green tea in summer

Summer is hot, and people are prone to internal heat. Green tea has the effects of clearing heat, reducing fire, promoting fluid production, and quenching thirst. Drinking green tea can help alleviate troubles caused by internal heat. Additionally, green tea has excellent sun protection and anti-radiation effects, making it increasingly popular among girls in summer.

However, is everyone suitable for drinking green tea?

No. During the processing of green tea, the natural substances in fresh leaves are preserved to the greatest extent, especially the content of caffeine and tea polyphenols, which are relatively high. These two substances are quite irritating to the gastrointestinal tract. For people with cold constitution and weak stomachs, cold-natured green tea, even as the best summer drink, should not be consumed excessively.

Misconception 2: Cold-natured green tea + neutral goji berries = health tea

Green tea has the effects of clearing heat, reducing fire, and reducing inflammation and phlegm. Goji berries have the effects of beautifying the skin, nourishing yin, and enriching blood. If these two are combined and drunk together, will there be unexpected health effects?

Wrong. When green tea and goji berries are brewed separately, they are very beneficial to the human body, but they are not suitable to be brewed and drunk together. This is because the large amount of tannin contained in green tea has an adsorbing and astringent effect, which will adsorb the trace elements in goji berries, forming substances that are difficult for the human body to absorb, which is not beneficial to human health. Therefore, the two should not be mixed for brewing.

Although more and more people pay attention to drinking tea for health, it is also necessary to understand that correct tea drinking can achieve health effects. Drinking tea in summer is beneficial to physical health, but special groups also need to be particularly careful when drinking to avoid causing harm to the body. Dear tea lovers, choose a tea drinking method suitable for yourself as the hot summer approaches!
