Tea has long been regarded as a beverage that promotes longevity and overall health. Compared to other foods, it is low in calories, yet the amino acids it contains are far more diverse than those found in eggs or soybeans. Moreover, minerals make up 4% to 9% of tea leaves, with 50% to 60% of these minerals easily soluble in hot water, making them readily absorbed and utilized by the body—thus contributing positively to health. While the mineral content varies slightly among different types of tea, green tea generally boasts higher levels of phosphorus and zinc compared to black tea, whereas black tea contains richer amounts of calcium, copper, and sodium than green tea.
Drinking tea invigorates the mind, sharpens thoughts, and brings a sense of calm and serenity, embodying a leisurely lifestyle—a life marked by reason and clarity. China is where tea first originated; as the story goes, over four to five thousand years ago, "Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and encountered seventy-two poisonous ones in a single day—only tea saved him." It’s also commonly said that "in the morning, when you open your door, six essential items await: firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea"—a testament to tea's indispensable role in daily life.
