The Spring Festival is a joyous time for family reunions and enjoying delicious food. However, the rich meals and frequent gatherings can inevitably burden the gastrointestinal tract. At this time, a suitable cup of tea can not only relieve greasiness and aid digestion but also safeguard your health. The following 10 kinds of teas have unique effects, helping you easily spend a healthy and pleasant Spring Festival.
1. Pu-erh Tea: The “Gastrointestinal Guardian” for Relieving Greasiness and Nourishing the Stomach
Pu-erh tea is divided into raw Pu-erh and ripe Pu-erh. Ripe Pu-erh is warm in nature, warming and protecting the stomach. It is especially suitable for relieving problems such as abdominal distension and elevated blood lipids after Spring Festival meals. Raw Pu-erh is cool in nature, capable of clearing heat and promoting digestion, and is suitable for drinking after a greasy diet. Boiling a pot of aged Pu-erh around the stove, with its mellow tea fragrance, warms both the body and the heart.
2. Black Tea: The “Heartwarming Companion” for Nourishing and Beautifying
Fully fermented black tea is warm in nature and sweet in taste. It can warm the stomach, expel cold, and promote metabolism. On a cold winter day, sharing a pot of black tea with relatives and friends can not only resist the cold but also relieve greasiness, especially suitable for people with a cold constitution.
3. Green Tea: The “Intestinal Scavenger” for Refreshing and Relieving Greasiness
Unfermented green tea is cold in nature and rich in tea polyphenols, which can clear heat, detoxify, and refresh the mind. During the Spring Festival when the diet is too sumptuous, a cup of green tea can help clean the intestines, reduce the feeling of greasiness, and make the gastrointestinal tract more comfortable.
4. White Tea: The “Natural Remedy” for Antioxidation and Strengthening the Body
Slightly fermented white tea is rich in antioxidant components, which can scavenge free radicals and enhance immunity. It has a light and sweet aftertaste, and is suitable for drinking when staying up late or feeling tired, helping to relieve holiday fatigue.
5. Oolong Tea: The “Vitality Source” for Balancing Body and Mind
Semi-fermented oolong tea has a mild nature and combines the advantages of green tea and black tea. It can reduce blood lipid and blood pressure, refresh the mind, and resist aging. Drinking it during the Spring Festival when the schedule is irregular can adjust the body state and keep you energetic.
6. Chrysanthemum Tea: The “Eye Care Expert” for Clearing the Eyes and Reducing Fire
Chrysanthemum tea can clear the liver and improve eyesight, especially suitable for relieving eye fatigue caused by staying up late and overusing the eyes. During the Spring Festival, those with strong liver fire and irritable emotions can drink chrysanthemum tea to soothe the body and mind and balance the internal heat.
7. Flower Tea: The “Aroma Therapy” for Delighting the Body and Mind
Flower teas such as jasmine, rose, and osmanthus combine the fragrance of tea and flowers, which can soothe the liver, relieve depression, and ease emotions. Brewing a cup of flower tea in the afternoon, with the fragrance lingering, can not only relax the mood but also promote metabolism.
8. Ginger Tea: The “Cold Buster” for Expelling Cold and Warming the Body
Ginger tea made by boiling ginger and tea can expel cold, warm the stomach, and prevent colds. If you catch a cold or eat cold food during the Spring Festival, a cup of hot ginger tea can quickly disperse the cold, but those with a hot constitution should drink it in moderation.
9. Goji Berry Tea: The “Energy Charging Station” for Tonifying Qi and Refreshing the Mind
Goji berry tea can nourish the kidneys, benefit essence, nourish the liver, and improve eyesight, and is suitable for relieving holiday fatigue. Drinking it after frequent social activities or staying up late can replenish physical strength, enhance immunity, and make the body quickly regain vitality.
10. Red Date Tea: The ‘Vitality Booster’ for Nourishing Blood and Qi
Red date tea can strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish blood and promote fluid production. It is especially suitable for women or those with a weak constitution. Its sweet taste can replenish energy for the body, enhance physical fitness, and help you be full of vitality during the Spring Festival.
During the Spring Festival, choose a suitable tea beverage according to your own constitution and dietary situation.
It can not only relieve greasiness and protect the stomach but also maintain health.
Note: People with a cold constitution should drink less tea with a cold nature (such as green tea and raw Pu-erh tea). People with a hot and dry constitution should drink warm-natured tea (such as black tea and ginger tea) in moderation.
Only by reasonable combination can you drink your way to good health and a rosy complexion, adding more comfort and coziness to the Spring Festival gatherings.
