"The Classic of Tea" has records on the effects of drinking tea to quench thirst and relieve dryness. We often drink good tea like Pu'er raw tea, which has obvious sweetness. What's more, drinking it can produce "tongue sound" "Spring" effect. However, a friend of Shisanyi who loves tea mentioned that he often uses tea as water. He wanted to quench his thirst, but the more he drank, the more he thirsty. This is how it happened? Let’s find out with the Shisanyi now!
Why does tea become more thirsty as you drink it?
First of all, I believe most tea lovers know that high-temperature baking is indispensable in the tea making process. Baking at high temperature is just like our usual stir-frying. The higher the heat, the longer the frying, the hotter it gets. High-temperature baking can make the tea "hot" and "fire dry", causing a fire to the throat when the tea is drunk, and then feel thirsty.
Secondly, among the many health-preserving effects of drinking tea, there is a diuretic so to speak, that is, the sodium in our body will be gradually lost due to excessive tea drinking. Then I feel thirsty. The more tea we drink, the more water we excrete due to its diuretic effect. The tea we drink can't keep up with the water excreted in this part, and we naturally feel thirsty as we drink.
Finally, part of the problem tea, there are more or less chemical substances such as pigments, flavors and so on. These additives are also the reason why the tea is thirsty as you drink it.
What substance in tea causes thirst?
Tea contains a substance called caffeine, which can stimulate the kidneys of our human body to achieve the effect of diuresis. In layman's terms, more water intake will lead to more metabolism in the toilet; the same is true for tea. Drinking a lot in a short period of time will cause a lot of sodium to be lost due to excessive urination, and you will feel thirsty. Pay attention, normal people will urinate more and feel thirsty after drinking 1000ml. The same is true for tea.
What are the precautions for drinking tea?
01. Don’t drink tea on an empty stomach;
You should know that tea leaves are divided into three types according to the degree of fermentation: unfermented tea, half fermented tea, and fully fermented tea. So which type of person should drink? Tea is the most suitable, but it is also very particular. Unfermented teas such as green tea contain more tea polyphenols and caffeine, which are easy to irritate our intestines and stomach. Therefore, tea lovers with bad stomachs recommend drinking green tea less, especially not on an empty stomach.
02. Don’t drink too much tea;
Many people use tea to refresh their brains. This is because the caffeine contained in tea can stimulate our brain’s central nervous system, so it should not be too much before going to bed. Drink tea.
03. Do not drink tea while taking medicine;
Tea water is different from drinking water, it also has a certain detoxification effect, so it is not recommended to drink tea when taking medicine, so as not to affect the effect of the medicine.
What are the common misunderstandings of drinking tea?
Although the tea is good, it is better to drink different varieties.
Tea should also be divided into seasons. In spring, it is recommended that you drink more sweet and cool scented tea, because it can drive away the cold and keep healthy, and it can also help people’s yang and look better! In summer, it is recommended that you drink more green tea with cold nature to eliminate fire, can better relieve thirst, eliminate food and reduce phlegm! In autumn, I suggest you drink plenty of oolong tea that is neither cold nor hot. can not only remove excess heat in the body, but also nourish the throat and promote body fluid. In winter, I recommend everyone to drink fully fermented black tea, which is suitable for strengthening cold resistance and removing fat and promoting digestion in winter!
It’s the second misunderstanding to soak the tea all day long!
This operation will not only make the tea taste less and less, but more importantly, the long-term high temperature brewing has already reduced the vitamins, tea polyphenols and flavonoids in the tea.When high-quality ingredients are oxidized and degraded, the health-preserving effect of tea will be much lower than before.
Chen Cha Bu Xing Cha is the third misunderstanding!
I believe that many tea friends think that Chen tea is "the more old it is, the more fragrant it is". It does not need to be rinsed during brewing, right? Then you are wrong. For Pu-erh tea cakes and oolong tea, you generally need to rinse with boiling water for 10-20 seconds, and you also need to pour away the tea. This is to wash away the microorganisms that have accumulated for a long time, and then to wake up the tea, so that the tea fragrance can be better emitted.
Tea scale does not clean is the fourth misunderstanding!
Have tea friends cleaned up the tea stains on their teapots? Many tea friends who play purple clay pot think that tea dirt can raise the pot, so they won't clean it. However, it must be mentioned that tea scale accumulates the components of tea polyphenols and metal elements in tea rust, which will oxidize over time to form a metal chelate. This ingredient will not only affect our tea taste, but more importantly, it is also harmful to our health.
Making tea in boiling water and drinking it while it is hot is the fifth misunderstanding!
When making tea, pay attention to the water temperature, usually dark tea, black tea, and oolong tea. In order to make the tea fragrance more rich and mellow, it is recommended to use freshly boiled water to brew the best. As for green tea, which is relatively delicate without fermenting, it is recommended to brew it with hot water at 80℃-85℃ for 2-3 minutes. It is better to drink it immediately. In order to avoid boiling water brewing will destroy the contained polyphenols, the tea aroma can also leave some fragrance.
