Jasmine tea has become popular.
Exquisiteness of scented tea
The scenting system of scented tea is very particular, with three, five and seven fragrances. In other words, to make scented tea, a batch of green tea is used as raw material, but it takes 3-7 batches of flowers for green tea to fully absorb the fragrance of flowers. After green tea absorbs the fragrance of flowers, waste flower residues are screened out, so high-grade scented tea is brewed many times. Low-grade scented tea is not scented or scented, and then the waste flower residue absorbed by others is mixed into green tea, which makes people mistakenly think it is a good scented tea. It looks like a lot of flowers, but once or twice it has lost its fragrance.

Dr. Carobbi, clinical director of St. Anthony's Department of Medicine, confirmed that drinking Pu 'er tea produced in Yunnan often can reduce triglycerides and cholesterol in the human body. French women, especially young women, attach great importance to physical beauty. They call Pu 'er tea "slimming tea". French doctors experimented with Pu 'er tea. Each subject drank three cups of Pu 'er tea every day for one month. As a result, some people lost weight, and some people lost their blood lipids. French doctors also experimented with Yunnan Tuocha on 40 obese men and women, asking them to drink a cup of Tuocha every morning and evening. After continuous use for one month, more than 40% have lost weight to varying degrees. This is also one reason why French people like to drink Yunnan tea.

Second, drinking tea can prevent tooth decay.
Drinking tea or brushing your teeth with tea can not only eliminate bad breath, but also prevent dental caries. It is reported that Dacheng Zhou, M.D. of Beijing Stomatological Hospital, has been studying the efficacy of tea in preventing dental caries since 1970s, such as drinking tea, gargling with tea soup, brushing teeth, or using toothpaste containing tea, but brushing teeth with tea soup is the best. This is because tea contains fluorine, which has great affinity with calcium in teeth and can become a kind of "neon apatite" which is difficult to dissolve in acid. Just like adding a protective layer to teeth, it improves the ability of teeth to prevent acid and caries. Using tea to prevent caries is one of the ways to protect teeth. Therefore, gargling, brushing teeth and drinking tea with tea soup can be popularized among children. In low fluorine areas, it is recommended to drink ordinary low-grade tea (high-grade tea and famous tea have low fluorine content) to prevent dental caries. Drinking tea soup brewed with10g of tea every day can meet the human body's demand for fluorine. Tea with high fluorine content includes Fujian oolong tea, Yunnan tea, Yunnan black tea, Zhejiang tea, Jiangxi jasmine tea and Guizhou brick tea.

Clinical trials were conducted on 80 patients with hypertension. As a result, after 5 days of treatment with green tea, the blood pressure of 30 patients decreased and some people returned to normal. Some people also study the relationship between drinking tea and coronary heart disease, and divide it into three groups: no tea, occasional tea and frequent tea. The results showed that the incidence of coronary heart disease was 3.65438 0% without drinking tea, 2.3% with occasional drinking tea and 65438 0.4% with frequent drinking tea. We can see the effect of drinking tea on preventing coronary heart disease.

Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage, said, "Tea is very effective in treating purulent blood." Modern medical research has confirmed that tea is a good medicine for treating intestinal diseases.

Such as harmful cholera bacteria, typhoid bacilli, Escherichia coli and so on. Soak in strong tea soup for a few minutes, and most of them will lose their ability to move. Therefore, Chinese medicine and folk often use strong tea or ground green tea to treat intestinal diseases such as bacillary dysentery and enteritis. The method is that 3 grams of tea leaves and a bowl of water are decocted three times a day; Or three times a day, a cup of strong tea and 20 ml of vinegar; You can also take tea 15g and shepherd's purse flower 15g, decocted and taken three times a day before meals.
