The hottest dog days of the year are coming, so do you know what tea you should drink in dog days? I would like to introduce several teas for keeping healthy and relieving summer heat, hoping to help you!

What health tea do you drink in dog days to relieve summer heat?

Summer is a season full of enthusiasm, however, the scorching sun in summer is like a flame, which makes the earth like a steamer and makes people breathless. At high temperature, the human body sweats badly, and the body fluid loses too much and too fast. If it is not replenished in time, it is likely to suffer from heatstroke or dehydration. Drinking tea is an excellent way to replenish water in the body in summer. A cup of fragrant tea can not only bring you a little coolness, but also relieve summer fatigue.

However, not everyone can drink the same kind of tea. Summer health tea should vary from person to person, and people with different constitutions should pay attention to drinking tea. People with hot and dry constitution should drink cool tea, such as Kuding tea, "Biluochun" and Tieguanyin. Those with deficiency-cold constitution should drink warm tea, such as Pu 'er cooked tea, Jin Junmei and Zhengshan race.
