There is no doubt that the lips of black tea is the most people in the world who can understand it. Whether it is different from the east and the hemispheres or the skin color, everyone understands that her words
have a good taste. Lip knows that the biggest feature of black tea is tolerance. She fully meets people. What else can she do if she can fully satisfy people? I was so curious about drinking it, that is to say, she is an interesting tea. Whether you add milk, honey, coffee, or even blend whiskey, she can show her charm
Let me put it this way, black tea is like a girl with first-class temperament and skeleton on the runway. She can interpret every dress on the stage beautifully, but she always maintains her grandeur and dignity
// 1 // Which Chinese tea is the first to get started?
There are thousands of varieties of tea. Many people think that it is considered to be aware of tea after drinking every type of tea. It is not okay to say more than do. The best way to get started is: start drinking tea, starting with the one you like. If you must recommend a tea for beginner, my suggestion is: black tea
▲ Chinese tea classification
// 2 // Definition and process of black tea
Black tea is the originator of the world's black tea, produced in Wuyishan Nature Reserve Tongmuguan , and later developed and produced Gongfu black tea . The basic processes of black tea are withering, rolling, fermenting, and drying. The quality characteristics of tea red soup and red leaves are mainly formed after "fermentation". The so-called fermentation is the original polyphenol substance in tea. Under the catalysis of polyphenol oxidase, it is oxidized into theaflavin and thearomonosin
black tea. Due to its different production methods, it can be divided into:
① Gongfu black tea: This type of black tea is generally strip-shaped, slender and has a mellow taste, and has a relatively complete leaf base;
② red-broken tea : red-broken tea has fine appearance, the tea soup is bright red, strong, fresh and refreshing, and is irritating. It is the black tea with the largest number in the international market. According to its appearance, red broken tea can be divided into: leaf tea, broken tea, sliced tea, powdered tea, etc.;
③ small-type black tea : is mainly produced in Fujian Province. The tea has excellent quality and has a special processing smell of smoke, becoming a small-type black tea. It is also the originator of black tea
Noun explanation
① Withering: The process of moderate water loss of fresh leaves and the conversion of inclusions, preparing for rolling (cutting) and fermentation;
② Rolling (cut): destroys the tissue of fresh leaves, accelerates the enzymatic oxidation of polyphenols, shapes the appearance of tea, and improves the concentration of tea soup;
③ Fermentation: The process of a series of chemical changes in the biochemical components of the leaves that have been rolled (cut) under certain temperature, humidity, and oxygen supply conditions. The most critical thing is the oxidation process of polyphenols;
④ Drying: terminates enzymatic oxidation, dissipates moisture, emits grass gas, improves and forms tea fragrance;
⑤ Passing red pot: a special treatment process for processing small black tea. The function is to stop fermentation. Save some soluble tea polyphenols to make the tea soup thicker, make the green odor evaporate in high temperatures, and increase the aroma;
⑥ Smoke baking: a special treatment process for processing small black tea. During the heat, the tea leaves that were "over red" and kneaded were spread on a water sieve, placed on a hanger between the baking and green, and burned the pine wood underneath. The pine smoke rose and was absorbed by the tea leaves, making the dry tea smell like rosin, becoming the characteristic of small-sized black tea
// 3 // The efficacy and drinking of black tea
There is a girl who often comes to tea and drinks tea. She is an executive of a foreign company. She often stays up late, but her skin is as delicate and fair as a girl. Once I asked her how to take care of her, she said, "Actually, I am a very lazy person. I don't like exercise or steam saunas, so I have to drink a few cups of tea every day to make myself sweat to excrete toxins in my body..."
"Then what tea do you drink usually?" I asked her again
"I prefer to drink black tea. One cup in the morning and one in the afternoon, and not drinking it at night will affect sleep."She continued: "Sometimes I will put two roses in black tea. After drinking it for a long time, my body will have a faint rose fragrance..."
Hearing her feel satisfied when she talks about tea, I think that if a cup of tea can make you feel at ease and happy, it should be her best kindness. Many laboratories at home and abroad have conducted detailed research on the effects of black tea. While I was studying, I also made a simple classification:
① Regulate metabolism and prevent obesity
Due to excessive food intake or changes in the body's metabolism, it will cause excessive fat accumulation in the body, causing weight gain and causing pathological, physiological changes or latent. In animal models caused by high-fat food, drinking black tea or its extract can reduce obesity and improve hyperglycemia. Black tea can not only reduce the absorption of fat after meals, but also reduce the blood sugar level of healthy people after meals and improve insulin response. Some studies believe that black tea is conducive to reducing weight, fat and cholesterol content, which may be due to the fact that black tea affects intestinal sensors in the stomach and intestines and inhibits the absorption of lipids and proteins
② Refreshing the mind and brain, eliminating fatigue
caffeine in black tea stimulates the cerebral cortex to stimulate the nerve center, promotes refreshing and thinking concentration, thereby making the thinking response more sharp and memory enhances; it also has an excitatory effect on the vascular system and the heart, strengthens heartbeat, thereby accelerating blood circulation to facilitate metabolism, and at the same time promotes sweating and diuresis. Therefore, two-pronged approaches to accelerate the excretion of lactic acid (a substance that makes the muscles feel tired) and other old waste substances in the body, achieving the effect of eliminating fatigue
③ Diuretic efficacy
Under the combined action of caffeine and aromatic substances in black tea, it increases the blood flow of the kidneys, improves the glomerular filtration rate, expands the renal microvascular, and inhibits the renal tubules' reabsorption of water, thereby promoting the increase of urine volume. This is conducive to eliminating harmful substances such as lactic acid, uric acid (related to gout), excessive salt (related to hypertension) in the body, and alleviates edema caused by heart disease or nephritis
④ Delay aging, anti-cancer, and beauty effects
The tea polyphenols and their oxides of black tea are one of the very important antioxidant substances. Its antioxidant substances have the effects of delaying aging and anti-cancer, and can prevent the production of melanin in the skin (melanin is produced during the oxidation process) and have a beauty effect. In addition to tea polyphenols in black tea, it also has anti-cancer effects. Therefore, for these purposes, the anti-oxidant ingredients in black tea have been used as nutritional supplement medicine
⑤ Relaxation effect
Theanine has a natural sweet taste, only in tea, camellia, and tea plum, and there is no component in other plants. Theanine is a type of amino acid, and amino acids account for 50% to 60%. Generally speaking, dry tea leaves contain 1% to 2% theanine. After drinking this theanine, the amount of α waves that appear more often during relaxation will increase. Black tea is a beverage with a particularly high content of theanine, so drinking black tea has the effect of relaxation
⑥ Anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects
The polyphenol compounds in black tea have the effect of anti-inflammatory. Catechins can bind to single-cell bacteria to coagulate and precipitate proteins, thereby inhibiting and eliminating pathogens. Therefore, it is beneficial for patients with bacterial dysentery and food poisoning to drink black tea. People often use strong tea to apply to wounds, bedsores and Hong Kong feet.
⑦. Thirst quenching, saliva production and heat removal effects
期 0. Drinking black tea in summer can quench thirst and cool down. Because the polyphenols, carbohydrates, amino acids, pectin in tea produce chemical reactions with saliva, and stimulate saliva secretion, causing the mouth to feel moisturized and cool. At the same time, caffeine controls the body temperature center of the optic mosaic under control and regulates body temperature. It also stimulates the kidneys to promote the excretion of heat and dirt, and maintains physiological balance in the body.Black tea is a sports drink. In addition to cooling off heat and quenching thirst and replenishing moisture, it can also be consumed before exercises that require physical strength and endurance (such as marathon races). Because the caffeine in tea has a refreshing effect, it can also promote the body to burn fat first to supply heat energy during exercise
In addition, black tea also has the effects of preventing caries, detoxification, lowering blood sugar, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, and anti-radiation
Tea. As a healthy drink, daily routine intake helps people restore metabolic balance and brings a better mental and physiological state. But everything is a matter of one degree. Eating too much ginseng will cause nosebleeds, so drinking tea is also a step-by-step approach. You should still see a doctor when you are sick. In addition, if the following situations occur, it is not recommended to drink black tea:
① Do not drink black tea on an empty stomach: Because black tea will accelerate the reduction of the body's blood sugar content, drinking on an empty stomach or excessive drinking will cause "tea drunk" and dizziness, fatigue, sweating, etc. At this time, eat some sugar or snacks to relieve it; it is not advisable to drink a lot of tea before and after a meal, it is recommended to drink it 1 hour after a meal;
② Do not drink black tea during medication: Drinking tea during medication will affect the performance of the medicine;
3 Do not drink black tea after cold: After black tea is cooled, some precipitates that are insoluble in water will form, which will cause gastrointestinal discomfort after drinking it;
④ It is not advisable to drink black tea during pregnancy and menstruation: expectant mothers do not recommend drinking any caffeine-containing tea. Women should maintain nutritional balance during menstruation and do not drink too much tea;
⑤ It is not advisable to drink a lot of black tea before going to bed: If you do not watch football and do not work overtime, it is recommended to drink a cup of honey water or milk, go to bed early and get up early, haha (^ _ ^ )
