  Picture description: Tea, besides tea, it's still tea, with tea planted in front and behind the house! In China, there is a group of people who make a living with tea and spend their lives with tea. They are tea farmers, the main force in the planting, picking, processing, and selling of tea.

Chinese medicine says tea, are you drinking it right?

Image
  Today, I shared an article from the overseas edition of People's Daily, which featured a personal experience of drinking tea by Dr. Zhang Dong, the Chief Physician of the Cardiology Department at Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. After reading Dr. Zhang's experience, it may challenge some of our perceptions about tea drinking. In popular belief, it has always been considered improper to drink tea on an empty stomach as it can cause discomfort, especially when drinking green tea. However, it seems that the reality is not entirely as we thought. Taking this opportunity, I would like to share my personal experience with tea drinking.

I don't smoke or drink alcohol, but I am addicted to tea. I am the kind of person who would rather give up meat than give up tea. I r...

Today is the "Li Qiu" (Beginning of Autumn) in the Chinese 24 Solar Terms. Li Qiu is the 13th solar term in the "24 Solar Terms" and marks the beginning of autumn. During Li Qiu, the Big Dipper points to the southwest, and the sun reaches a celestial longitude of 135 degrees, usually around August 7th or 8th in the Gregorian calendar. Li Qiu represents the third of the "Three Fu" (Xiao Shu, Da Shu, Chu Shu) and signifies the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. In nature, everything begins to grow and mature. Li Qiu is a turning point from the dominance of yang energy to the dominance of yin energy, manifested by the withering of plants and the transition from abundance to harvest in the natural world. With the arrival of autumn, the weather gradually becomes cooler and the air becomes drier. In this season, choosing the right tea not only provides warmth but also helps maintain good health. This article will explore the types of tea suitable for aut...
