In daily life, people often need to drink a few cups of tea after a feast to prevent greasy stagnation. The caffeine and catechins in tea can improve gastrointestinal function and help digestion. What’s more, it can also adsorb substances which are harmful for human health and prevent the occurrence of digestive diseases. In addition, the aromatic substances in tea also have the effect of dissolving fat, helping digestion and eliminating peculiar smells in the mouth.

But there are something that people should know when you drink tea. Drink less new tea. Although the taste of new tea is good, due to the short storage time, it contains more unoxidized polyphenols, aldehydes and alcohols, which has a strong stimulating effect on the human gastrointestinal mucosa. It is easy to induce stomach diseases. Therefore, it is best to store new tea for at least half a month before drinking.

Drink less agricultural residue tea. Part of the tea in the cultivation and processing process contains pesticides, fertilizers and other harmful substances pollution, tea surface always has a certain residue. So choosing some organic, pesticide residue-free ecological tea. Because of the high altitude low temperature, alpine tea contains less pesticides. Like Zijia tea in Nayong, Guizhou, "the hometown of China's alpine ecological organic tea", the planting process uses rapeseed as fertilizer, completely avoid the harm of pesticides and chemical fertilizer residues.

Avoid drinking tea on an empty stomach. Drinking tea on an empty stomach can dilute gastric juice and reduce digestive function, causing a large number of undesirable components in tea into the blood, causing dizziness, palpitation, weakness of hands and feet and other symptoms.

Avoid drinking tea after meals. Drinking a large amount of tea after meals will also dilute gastric juice and affect digestion. In addition, the tannic acid in tea reacts with the iron molecules in the food to produce precipitation, which will also cause the human body to not absorb the iron molecules in the food. And over time it will cause iron deficiency in the human body and even induce anemia. Therefore, avoid drinking green tea within an hour of a meal. By the way, tea box can give you many flavors.
