As the New Year's Day and Spring Festival approach, professionals find themselves juggling numerous social engagements and gatherings, often leading to frequent alcohol consumption. Not only does excessive drinking severely harm the body, but it can also create significant disruptions in daily life. While many people are familiar with common hangover remedies, using incorrect methods can actually do more harm than good.
For instance, drinking strong tea to relieve a hangover is akin to pouring gasoline on a fire. People commonly believe that sipping strong tea after getting drunk helps ease the effects of alcohol—but medical experts warn that this practice only exacerbates the situation. Alcohol stimulates the nervous system, causing an increased heart rate, widened blood vessels, and faster blood circulation. When someone is intoxicated, this stimulating effect intensifies, turning what might otherwise be manageable into something far more dangerous.
Rare white tea renowned overseas
2012-04-10
White tea is a renowned historic tea, unique to Fujian Province, and belongs to the category of lightly fermented teas. Its distinctive appearance features needle-like shapes, densely covered with white down, giving it an ethereal, silvery-white look that seems almost untouched by color—hence its name. The traditional production method sets it apart from other teas: fresh buds and leaves are carefully harvested, gently air-dried without any rolling or pan-firing, ensuring the delicate integrity of the buds while preserving their abundant white down. Throughout the process, drying and natural air exposure play the central roles, making the craftsmanship surprisingly simple yet highly effective.
What’s more, white tea boasts a naturally cooling nature, making it particularly beneficial for reducing fever and alleviating inflammation.
Today, the primary growing regions for white tea are located in counties such as Zhenghe, Fuding, Jianyang, and Songxi within Fujian Province—areas characterized by rolling hills, mild year-round climates, and abundant rainfall.
White tea may help prevent cerebrovascular diseases.
2012-04-09
Cerebrovascular disease is a relatively common condition with a high incidence rate, significantly impacting human health. If left untreated promptly, it can lead to "hemiplegia." Cerebrovascular diseases include conditions such as cerebral embolism, cerebral thrombosis, and cerebral hemorrhage. The primary causes stem from a state of hypercoagulability in the body, where red blood cells tend to clump together, slowing blood flow and promoting thrombus formation. Alternatively, weakened blood vessel walls become more fragile, making them susceptible to rupture under the influence of external adverse factors, resulting in bleeding.
Fortunately, cerebrovascular disease is preventable. In recent years, extensive clinical research has demonstrated that regular tea consumption—particularly white tea—can help reduce the risk of developing these conditions. But why exactly does white tea offer protective benefits against cerebrovascular disease? A renowned professor from Zhejiang Medical University is here to explain.
White tea is beneficial for protecting eyesight.

Tea is generally considered unsuitable for children, though white tea is an exception. White tea is beneficial for protecting eyesight. It’s rich in provitamin A, which, once absorbed by the body, quickly converts into vitamin A. Vitamin A is a crucial component in the synthesis of rhodopsin, a pigment essential for vision, helping the eyes see more clearly in low-light conditions and effectively preventing night blindness and dry eye disease.
Moreover, white tea contains compounds that offer protection against radiation, providing significant support to the body’s blood-forming functions and reducing the harmful effects of TV radiation.
White tea also helps combat the summer heat. Packed with various amino acids and possessing a slightly cooling nature, it has excellent properties for reducing fever, relieving summer discomfort, and detoxifying the body. Sipping a cup of white tea during hot weather can greatly lower the risk of heatstroke.
As for aged white teas—specifically those with abundant white hairs (baihao)—they develop even richer flavors and health benefits over time.
How much do you know about the art of tea drinking?
2012-04-06
Drinking tea should be done in moderation. Tea contains high levels of tannins, theophylline, caffeine, as well as small amounts of aromatic oils, various vitamins, chlorophyll, and other beneficial compounds. When consumed appropriately, tea can help stimulate saliva production to quench thirst, eliminate dampness while clearing heat, boost alertness and enhance brain function, and even aid in disease prevention and weight management.
By "appropriate," we mean two key things: First, the tea should be brewed at a moderate strength—typically, 3 grams of tea leaves are sufficient for one cup. If the tea is too strong, it may interfere with the body’s ability to absorb essential minerals like iron from food, potentially leading to anemia. Second, keep your daily intake within a reasonable range, ideally limiting yourself to 8–10 cups per day. Drinking excessive amounts of tea can put extra strain on your kidneys. Lastly, avoid drinking tea within one hour before or after meals, as this could hinder the absorption of proteins by your body. Finally, be mindful of certain restrictions—
Four types of people should avoid drinking herbal tea to cool down.
2012-04-06
Summer heat easily leads to "internal heat," and many people enjoy drinking herbal teas to cool down. However, Traditional Chinese Medicine experts warn that consuming herbal tea daily can deplete the body's vital yang energy, particularly in vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly.
Professor Zhang Mao, Director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Chongqing Medical University Children’s Hospital, explains that herbal teas typically consist of ingredients like honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, and kuding tea, which are known for their cooling and heat-clearing properties. Yet, it’s important not to drink these teas excessively or on a daily basis, as doing so may weaken the body’s yang energy, harm the spleen and stomach, and impair digestion and nutrient absorption.
Zhang Mao adds that children, seniors, women, and individuals with a weak, cold spleen and stomach should avoid drinking herbal teas altogether.
Why does drinking hot tea help cool you down in summer?
2012-04-06
When it’s hot, everyone loves to sip on a cold drink—personally, I’m more of a tea person. But does drinking hot tea really help cool you down in the heat?
Answer:
It’s true that many young people reach for cold drinks when it’s hot, but actually, what quenches thirst most effectively is often hot tea—especially delicate, high-quality varieties. In fact, people in ancient China long ago discovered the cooling power of hot tea, using it to naturally release internal body heat.
Typically, after sipping hot tea, your skin gradually starts to sweat—a process that helps dissipate excess heat from within. In other words, the warmth is slowly released over time. On the flip side, consuming icy cold beverages doesn’t allow heat to escape as easily; instead, the cold sensation merely provides temporary relief to your mouth and throat before the heat quickly returns.
Fujian Fuding: Scenic Landscapes Harbor White Tea
2012-03-22
Ming Dynasty scholar Tian Yiheng wrote in "Zhu Quan Xiaopin": "Among tea-making methods, those processed with fire are considered secondary, while teas that are simply sun-dried rank highest—they’re closer to nature and completely free from the 'smoky' flavor." This method—entailing neither frying nor rolling—effectively preserves the tea leaves' nutritional content. Because it’s so pure and natural, it’s exceptionally beneficial for health.
At a tea gathering in 2010, tea industry giant Zhang Tianfu humorously remarked: "People who drink tea all day long are just like me—three cups daily, and the first one is always Fuding white tea." The centenarian tea expert still welcomes tea enthusiasts from across the country every day, enjoying over a hundred cups of diverse varieties—but his very first brew is invariably Fuding white tea.
