Things to note when drinking Pu’er tea
1. Don’t drink on an empty stomach
Strong Pu'er tea contains a large amount of caffeine and theophylline. Drinking tea on an empty stomach can easily lead to "tea drunkenness" and symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort, weakness in hands and feet, and trance. Therefore, do not drink Pu'er tea on an empty stomach, especially strong tea. Getting up in the morning and drinking some light salt water and honey water on an empty stomach is the most reasonable way to lose weight and cleanse the intestines.
2. Try to drink as little new tea as possible
The fermentation time of new Pu'er tea is relatively short, and the content of caffeine and active alkaloids is high, which can easily stimulate the nervous system and gastrointestinal mucosa. Therefore, it is okay to drink new tea as little as possible and try it occasionally. It is best to store the new Pu'er tea at home for two or three months before buying it. Not only will it taste better, but it will also have the lowest impact on the body.
3. Don’t drink a lot of tea before or after meals.
Do not drink a large amount of Pu'er tea before or after meals. Tea contains tannic acid and theophylline, which will affect the human digestive system. The correct time to drink tea is preferably at least half an hour before and after meals. It is best to drink light tea and not too strong. This is the healthiest way to drink tea.
4. Don’t drink before going to bed
Don't drink Pu'er tea before going to bed, otherwise it will cause mental excitement and affect sleep; it will also increase the load on the kidneys and cause unsightly bags under the eyes.
5. Do not drink during special periods
Pu 'er raw tea is cold in nature. Women should drink as little as possible during special periods, that is, "menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation", and they should not drink it when taking medicine.
