Later, I learned about tea because of studying  traditional Chinese medicine  and discovering that tea is also a type of medicine. For example, the Chuanxiong tea blend is recorded in the "Essentials of  Materia Medica ": "Tea leaves have a bitter and sweet taste. They enter the Hand and Foot  Shaoyin ,  Taiyin , and  Jueyin  meridians. They are effective in clearing the heart and lungs, purging the intestines and stomach. When combined with chamomile, it can treat headaches; when combined with ginger, it can relieve water retention and stimulate the bladder and kidney meridians when consumed after drinking alcohol." However, tea is ultimately cold in nature, and since my  body constitution  is weak and cold in the spleen and stomach, I remember drinking Pu-erh tea once and having to go to the bathroom halfway through, so I rarely drink tea. But one ...
