The residual heat of autumn has not yet dissipated, and the climate is dry. People are prone to dry mouth and tongue, fatigue, and weakness—what traditional Chinese medicine calls "autumn dryness" and "autumn fatigue." At this time, drinking tea for health preservation focuses on the principle of warmth and moisture.

Many people follow the old saying "stick autumn fat" and consume overly greasy and heavy foods. In reality, with the improved living standards of modern Chinese people, there is no need for high-fat, high-protein diets. Therefore, it is advisable to drink ripe Pu'er tea in autumn.

Ripe Pu'er tea undergoes artificial fermentation. Scientific studies have confirmed that Pu'er tea has multiple effects such as dissolving grease, regulating metabolism, and anti-radiation. Long-term consumption of Pu'er tea can reduce cholesterol and triglycerides, and it is effective in treating obesity. At the same time, drinking Pu'er tea can cause vasodilation, lower blood pressure, slow heart rate, and reduce cerebral blood flow, making it beneficial for patients with hypertension and cerebral arteriosclerosis.

So, how should you drink Pu'er tea in autumn? You can add some seasonings according to your preference to enhance the flavor and make it more suitable for your taste.

◎ Add honey

As early as the Tang Dynasty, Pu'er tea was traded to faraway places like Tibet and Xinjiang. At that time, people in the northwest would add milk, salt, honey, and other seasonings to their tea. Today, adding honey makes Pu'er tea taste even better, and long-term consumption can help prevent colds.

◎ Add dried flowers

Adding rose, jasmine, chrysanthemum, osmanthus, lavender, etc., to Pu'er tea can enhance its aroma and provide beauty and skincare benefits for women.

◎ Add dried citrus peel or tangerine peel

Pu'er tea with added dried citrus peel may have a slightly bitter taste, but it is effective in helping to resolve phlegm, soothe qi, and relieve coughs.

However, if you want to enjoy the pure taste of the tea, it is still recommended not to add any seasonings. Get creative and DIY—Lancang Ancient Tea can satisfy both your wishes at once!
