Can drinking Pu 'er really lose weight? How can office white-collar workers make tea conveniently and delicious? Come to the text to find the answer quickly.

as the saying goes, "rice, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, wine and tea", and there is a saying that "it is better to be without food for three days than without tea for one day" in the frontier and northwest areas. In the cold winter, a cup of Pu 'er ginger tea warms the stomach and heart; Good afternoon tea, cookies and earl black tea are more suitable. Watching a piece of tea curled up and slowly spread out, life slowed down.

because the whole family loves tea, I have drunk a lot since I was a child. Although he boasts a good tea, he really doesn't know much about tea. What kinds of tea are there? How can Tieguanyin be soaked to taste better? Is green tea suitable for drinking in winter? Can drinking Pu 'er really lose weight? How can office white-collar workers make tea conveniently and delicious? These questions have puzzled me for a long time. In order to find the answer, I listened to several micro-lessons, read several articles and read several books, and summarized the following contents, mainly including the origin, function, types, brewing methods and health taboos of tea. The article is a little long, so you can choose what you are interested in.

the origin of tea.

tea has been discovered and utilized by human beings for 5, years, but it was not originally used for drinking. At first, people boiled tea leaves in water as medicinal materials, later as food and vegetables, and finally gradually became a drink that can be brewed.

China is the first country to discover, cultivate and utilize tea. There is an old legend about the origin of tea. In ancient times, people often got sick and poisoned by eating wild grass and fruit and drinking raw water. At that time, Shennong, one of the ancient Chinese san huang, had a crystal-transparent belly. In order to relieve the sufferings of the people, he tasted all the plants he saw, and judged which ones were toxic and which were non-toxic by looking at the changes in the belly. One day, he accidentally ate Herba Lysimachiae, and almost lost his life. In desperation, he conveniently picked a leaf called tea (now called tea) around him and ate it, and the poison was magically dissolved. This is the story of "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, met 72 poisons every day, and got rid of it in tea".

tea has never seen Shennong, but it is still a plant, or an evergreen shrub or a small tree, and no one cares. However, Shennong was selected from the crowd, and he was greedy and took it to his mouth to taste it. He tried to solve his 72 poisons. This is a beautiful legend about the origin of tea, and it also shows people's understanding of the health care efficacy of tea.

The development of tea has gone through the process from wild to artificial cultivation, and from medicinal consumption to drinking. For China people, tea has now developed into a necessity for people's life. If you want to know more about the origin of tea, you can look at the Tea Classic written by Lu Yu in Tang Dynasty, which is the earliest and most comprehensive tea classics.

Tea has many functions, which can be roughly divided into four types: nutritional function, health care function, self-cultivation and social function.

The nutritional and health-care functions of tea mainly include cleaning, reducing and discharging. Just like living in a house for a long time, garbage and dust will increase, and so will people. Tea is like a broom, which can remove the garbage and toxins from the human body.

in recent thousands of years, many modern medical researchers have confirmed that the health care function of tea is determined by many chemical components. Tea contains many special ingredients: tea polyphenols, caffeine, theanine and so on. Different tea leaves have different health care effects because of their different ingredients and contents.

Green tea has the highest content of tea polyphenols, followed by oolong tea and black tea. This is due to the different content of tea polyphenols. Tea polyphenols also have bactericidal effect, and you can drink some green tea for oral ulcer and sore throat.

Caffeine has the function of refreshing the brain and detoxifying. It is said that drinking tea can refresh the mind, which is attributed to caffeine. However, the excitement produced by drinking tea is close to normal, while the excitement produced by alcohol and coffee will more or less have toxic effects on human body. Therefore, it is relatively healthy for office workers to get sleepy by drinking tea.

Caffeine can detoxify alcohol and promote the excretion of alcohol in blood. People who smoke and drink will have a relatively heavy taste, so Pu 'er raw tea+dancong tea+black tea is recommended. The sweetness of raw Pu 'er tea, the charm of dancong tea and the warmth of small black tea can satisfy the taste buds of men who smoke and drink, and at the same time, the effective components in tea can alleviate the harm caused by tobacco and drink to the body.

theanine has the functions of calming the nerves and resisting fatigue. White tea has a high theanine content, which can relieve the fatigue caused by staying up late and working overtime.

Of course, tea also contains microorganisms and minerals, which can supplement the elements needed by the human body. In addition, tea leaves are very fragrant and contain very rich aromatic substances. Rinsing your mouth with tea after a meal can not only get rid of greasy food, but also freshen your breath.

what other diseases can a cup of tea help you solve? In our daily life, if we don't pay attention to our health, we will feel uncomfortable, which often puzzles our normal life. The following is a brief introduction of diseases that can be prevented or solved by simply drinking tea without seeing a doctor or taking medicine.

First, digestion can help digestion and relieve stomach trouble. Under normal circumstances, the stomach will be in a semi-dormant state, and it will become active after eating. If you sit still for a long time after eating, your stomach will still be in a semi-dormant state. In this way, food exists in the stomach but is not digested in time, which will have a certain impact on the stomach for a long time. After artificial fermentation, the black tea of six major teas can help gastrointestinal peristalsis, regulate the spleen and stomach, and help food digestion. However, as far as digestion is concerned, oolong tea has the best digestion effect, such as Guangdong Dancong.

second, it can relieve eye fatigue and dryness. Using the computer for a long time, coupled with being in an air-conditioned environment for a long time, is prone to dry eyes and visual fatigue. Autumn is the season of high incidence of dry eye. Green tea and chrysanthemum tea play a great role in relieving eye fatigue and dryness. Friends with cold body can drink black tea and chrysanthemum tea together if their eyes are tired and dry and they can't drink more green tea.

Third, you can say goodbye to symptoms such as listlessness, frequent drowsiness and fatigue. Working for a long time leads to listlessness and drowsiness, which is common. Office work will be boring if you have time, and it is easy to have such symptoms, or you are tired of the computer for a long time. Tea has the function of refreshing the brain, especially Yunnan ancient tree black tea, Shengpu and other big leaf black teas, which have high caffeine content, so the refreshing effect is good.

Fourth, prevent tooth decay and bad breath. Everyone knows that fluoride can effectively prevent dental caries, and the content of fluoride in tea is high. These fluorine-containing substances can kill the bacteria left in the teeth and play a role in preventing dental caries. It can also inhibit the loss of calcium in human body and eliminate the residual protein in oral cavity, which is beneficial to the prevention of dental caries, tooth protection and interdental care. If you don't have a good rest on weekdays, your breath will not be fresh after getting angry. At this time, rinse your mouth with tea to make the whole mouth fresher. The effect of green tea will be better.

Fifth, diminish inflammation and detoxify. When someone went out to exercise in fun run, the soles of his feet were bitten by red ants. Because red ants contain poison, the place where the soles of the feet were bitten is swollen, and even walking hurts. Because of the detoxification effect of tea, you can wipe the strong tea water of white tea at the bitten place at this time. It can be found in one morning that the bitten area is obviously swollen, and walking is less painful. Tea can relieve the symptoms of oral ulcer and gum swelling and pain. White tea and green tea are good choices.

Sixth, sterilize and treat beriberi. Tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, which has a strong bactericidal effect, especially for the fungus of beriberi. Therefore, people suffering from beriberi can boil tea leaves into thick juice every night to soak their feet, which will have an incurable and healing effect for a long time. However, the medicine for boiling tea and soaking feet is persistent and will not have a significant effect in a short time. And it is best to choose green tea, because the content of tannic acid in fermented black tea and black tea will be less.

because everyone in the family loves tea, they ask relatives to buy new tea from other places every year, and most of the sacks are shared among several families. The scene is extremely spectacular. The color of the new tea is green, which is very beautiful. Although the newly picked young leaves are not as bitter as old tea and have a light taste, they are my favorite. Tea has become a necessity for me.

There is a sentence in a six-episode documentary "The Story of a Leaf" recorded by CCTV, "Perceive perfection in an imperfect life. Even if there is only time for a cup of tea. " When you are free, you can be alone, or you can make a pot of tea with three or five friends, and you can quietly experience the culture of "tea Zen".

types of tea.

There are many kinds of tea in China, and each has its own characteristics. Based on the differences in processing technology and quality, it can be divided into basic teas and reprocessed teas. The basic teas include green tea, yellow tea, black tea, white tea, black tea and green tea (oolong tea). Reprocessed teas include scented tea, teabags, pressed tea and instant tea. The above picture shows the six famous teas commonly known in China, that is, the types, processing techniques and brewing methods of basic teas.

green tea is a kind of tea without fermentation. When it is made, the fresh leaves picked are spread in the sun, and after losing some water, they are fried in a hot pot with a temperature of more than 2 degrees, and then kneaded and dried, which forms the quality characteristics of green leaves in green tea broth. The common ones are West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Huangshan Mao Feng and Xinyang Maojian.

yellow tea, a unique tea in China, is characterized by yellow soup and yellow leaves. The method is a little close to green tea, but it needs to be yellow for 2-3 days. Such as junshan silver needle.

white tea is mainly produced in Fuding, Fujian. Basically, it is made by natural sunlight, and its appearance, aroma and taste are very unique. Has the functions of heatstroke prevention, detoxification and toothache treatment. In recent years, white tea has become hot, mostly because it has a very good effect of clearing away heat and reducing fire. Sometimes, if you stay up late and get angry, your throat will hurt. Drinking white tea the next day will have a very good effect.

black tea, which has a history of more than 4 years, is named after its red soup and red leaves. It is a fully fermented tea with a fermentation degree of more than 8%. Compared with green tea, the process difference is that there is one less process of frying and deactivating enzymes, and one more process of oxidation and fermentation. Common black teas are Zhengshan Race in Fujian, Gushu Black Tea in Yunnan and Yinghong No.9 in Guangdong.

I used to make a mistake that Pu 'er is black tea. At that time, when I planned to make my own milk tea, I used Pu 'er. As a result, the taste was predictable and it was very weak, which ended in failure.

green tea, also called oolong tea. It is a semi-fermented tea between green tea and black tea, which combines the quality characteristics of green tea and black tea, with both the freshness of green tea and the fragrance of black tea. It is the most complicated and time-consuming process among the six major teas, and the brewing method is also the most exquisite. Drinking oolong tea is also called drinking kungfu tea.

The three oolong tea systems in China are Anxi Tieguanyin, Wuyi Rock Tea and Guangdong Fenghuang Dancong. Among them, Dahongpao originally refers to six mother trees on the Kowloon tree in Wuyishan, and now it can't be picked. So now they are all cut on rock tea, such as cinnamon. When you go to the store to buy, you can be specific to a certain variety, which will make you look unprofessional. In addition, Tieguanyin suggested that it should be stored in vacuum packaging in the refrigerator.

Black tea is the most mature raw material among the six major teas, and the color of dry tea is dark brown, mainly due to the long accumulation and fermentation time.

Yunnan Pu 'er tea, for example, has the effect of reducing weight, lipid and blood pressure. However, there is a misunderstanding that oolong tea is the best way to lose weight in tea. For example, Chaoshan people are thin because they often drink tea alone.

reprocessed tea is a product made from the above kinds of teas. Such as jasmine tea, also known as smoked tea, this kind of tea only smells the flowers, but not the flowers. For example, teabags are made of inherent tea leaves packaged by filter materials, without any additives, and their quality and taste are the same as those of inherent tea leaves. If you have tea and filter bags, you can also make your own processed tea at home.

the brewing method of tea.

1. Green tea: stored in the refrigerator with a shelf life of 1 year. Methods: The amount of tea (corresponding to 11ml bowl-covering) was 3 grams, and the tea was brewed at 8℃ water temperature for 1 minute. Because green tea is very tender when it is picked, the water temperature of brewing should be controlled at 8-85 degrees, so that the color of tea soup will not turn yellow due to too high water temperature and the freshness of green tea will not be destroyed.

2. Black tea is sweet, fine and smooth. Method: Add 5g of tea and brew at 9℃ for 1-15min. If there is no taste after 5 bubbles, extend the time.

3. Yellow tea, 3 grams of tea, brewed at 85 degrees water temperature for 1 minute.

4, white tea, tea dosage of 5g, brewing at 9-95 degrees for 3 seconds.

5, oolong tea, tea dosage of 8 grams, 1 degrees water temperature brewing, within 1 seconds, not stuffy. It is better to brew at 95-1 degrees, so as to stimulate the fragrance and taste of tea.

6. For black tea, the dosage of tea is 8g, the tea head is pressed at 1℃ for 2-3 seconds to disperse, and the second tea is 1-15 seconds.

note: the water vapor is 95 degrees when it follows the curve, and it is 8 degrees when it floats on both sides.

in addition, let's talk about a few small details of making tea. When making tea, put the tea leaves first and then inject water to avoid the tea leaves floating on it and sinking slowly, so it is easy to drink the tea leaves. It is better not to hit the tea leaves when injecting water. You can slowly inject water into the cup along the wall of the cup, otherwise the tea leaves will be turbid easily. When adding water, add water when the first cup is left for 1/4, which can make the tea soup moderately thick and not make the remaining tea too strong or the second cup too weak.

occasionally, you can drink tea in another way, and try making tea cold. Black tea, single tea and green tea are all very suitable for cold brewing. Method: Put 2-3 grams of tea leaves into a cup of 25-3 ml, pour cold water into it, soak it for 5 minutes, then put it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, then take it out and drink it. It is sweet and refreshing. You can add some honey and sugar occasionally when making tea, and it is very good to drink some cold tea in summer.

what kind of tea is suitable for the office?

it is very important to brew a cup of tea with good taste. But what if the office white-collar workers also want to drink tea? How to make tea delicious and convenient in the office? Summarized a few points to share with you.

first of all, black tea and white tea are ripe most casually. These three kinds of tea are easy to brew, and it is basically not difficult to drink. Among them, the best tea in the office is white tea, because white tea is not afraid of boredom and does not need boiling water when brewing. The drinking fountains in general offices often can't even reach 9 degrees of water.

Secondly, you can choose Piaoyi cup, which can separate tea from water. Generally, the amount of tea in Piaoyi cup ranges from 15 to 25 ml, so you can choose it according to your needs.

the health taboo of drinking tea.

1. Choose the tea that suits your physique according to the tea properties. Due to the different production processes of the six major teas, the fermentation degree of tea is divided into unfermented, semi-fermented and full-fermented, so tea has coolness, warmth and neutrality.

the core technology of green tea is enzyme fixation, which has not been fermented and is cold in nature. Drinking green tea has a good effect of clearing away fire and refreshing the mind for people with yin deficiency, stomach fire and energy. In addition, green tea has a good radiation protection effect, which is of great benefit to friends who sit in offices and computers for a long time.

the core technology of black tea is fermentation, which belongs to fully fermented tea. It is used for people with yang deficiency, stomach cold, weakness and older age. It is better to drink for those with sore limbs and cold hands and feet.

oolong tea, the tea quality turned flat, but the overall change was from cold to flat temperature due to the great change of fermentation degree. The core technology is green and drying, and the degree of fermentation is very close to that of green tea, such as fragrant Tieguanyin, which is relatively cold. The heavy fermented ones are close to black tea, which is suitable for a wide range of people. For friends who are not clear about their constitution, you can start with oolong tea first, and then slowly drink other teas.

white tea
