Tea Clock: Decoding the Golden Password for Daily Tea Drinking
As is well known, drinking tea is beneficial to health, especially if one persists in drinking tea for a long time. The key to using tea for health preservation lies in mastering the best time to drink tea. Drinking the right tea at the right time can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The Time Code for Scientific Tea Drinking
Morning Tea Ceremony (7-9 pm)
• Physiological mechanism: After 8 hours of sleep, the human body is in a mild dehydration state, and blood viscosity increases by about 15%.
• Black tea selection: It is recommended to choose large leaf black tea (such as Dian Hong), which has a 30% higher content of theaflavins than ordinary black tea and is more conducive to promoting microcirculation.
• Golden ratio: Tea water ratio 1:50, water temperature 90 ℃ brewing for 3 minutes, can maximize the release of theanine (250mg/cup) while controlling caffeine (40mg).
Afternoon Tea Rhyme (15-17 pm)
Metabolic window: At this time, human enzyme activity reaches its peak, and the absorption rate of EGCG components in green tea increases by 40%
• Tea selection: recommend green tea rich in chlorophyll, such as Mount Huangshan Maofeng, or fragrant Tieguanyin (fermentation degree is about 20%).
• Brewing technique: Cold brewing method (refrigerated at 4 ℃ for 6 hours) can retain over 90% of vitamin C and reduce the release of tannic acid.
Night Tea Repair (Around 20:30)
Microbial action: The crown shaped sporangium in Pu erh ripe tea can decompose tea polyphenols to produce GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid), which has a sedative effect on the nerves.
Scientific pairing: It is recommended to pair it with 0.5g tangerine peel/300ml tea soup, which can increase lipase activity by 3 times.
Drinking taboos: Avoid newly made ripe Pu with a tree age of less than 10 years, as the tannic acid content may exceed the standard.
Humanistic Philosophy in Tea Ceremony
Life rhythms corresponding to time and space
Different time periods correspond to the twelve hour health preservation method in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, such as the bladder meridian during the hour of Shen (15-17), which echoes the water beneficial properties of green tea in time and space, reflecting the concept of “harmony between heaven and man” in health preservation.
Tea is like the way of human interaction
Tea types with different degrees of fermentation are similar to life stages:
Green tea is as fresh and lively as a teenager (unfermented)
Oolong is like middle-aged (semi fermented), mellow and smooth
Black tea aged (post fermented), warm and tolerant
Triple realm of tea tasting
• Material layer: Identify the amino acid differences between tea leaves at an altitude of 300 meters and 800 meters (a difference of 2.3 times)
• Skill level: Mastering the influence of brewing techniques such as “Han Xin Dian Bing” on the concentration of tea soup (± 15%)
• Spiritual layer: Cultivate awareness of the present through the “one session, one meeting” tea ceremony
Health Tips
Suggestions for special groups:
Anemic individuals should avoid drinking tea immediately after meals (with an interval of 1 hour)
Patients with gastric ulcers can choose aged rice brick tea (containing 38% pectin)
Seasonal drinks:
Increase the proportion of black tea after the Winter Solstice (it is recommended to increase the daily consumption from 3g to 5g)
Before and after the summer solstice, you can try “cold extraction of silver needles” (soaking white hair silver needles for 12 hours)
Drinking tea is not only a taste experience, but also a life practice of perceiving the rhythm of heaven and earth through plants and trees. As stated in Lu Yu’s “Classic of Tea,” “Tea is for use, with a cold taste, and is best consumed by those who practice frugality and virtue.” Through the changes in the intensity of tea soup, we will eventually see the true state of life.
