The difference between black tea and green tea and a comparison of their weight-loss effects: can they be drunk together?

Our country has had the habit of drinking tea since ancient times. Whether they were royalty and nobles, literati and refined scholars, or ordinary common people, everyone would first brew a pot of tea to receive guests, and drinking tea even has an elegant name: savoring tea.Below, let us introduce what the differences between black tea and green tea are? Can they be drunk together? Which has a better weight-loss effect?

1. What are the differences between black tea and green tea?

1. The difference in production process between black tea and green tea: black tea is a fully fermented tea that undergoes a fermentation degree as high as 80 to 90 percent, and in this process it does not go through fixation; instead, it is directly withered, rolled and cut, and then fully fermented; green tea does not need any fermentation, but is completed through the steps of direct fixation, rolling and drying. In addition, besides being stir-fried in a wok, green tea can also be made by steaming with high-temperature steam.

2. The difference in the color of the brewed tea between black tea and green tea: the tea liquor brewed from black tea is light brown to brown, while the tea liquor of green tea is green to dark green.

3. The difference in water temperature used when brewing black tea and green tea: black tea is brewed with boiling water at 90 to 100 degrees, so that the effective components in it can be extracted and the tea taste will be stronger; if it is tender bud-leaf green tea, the brewing water temperature is best at around 80 degrees, because then the vitamin C in it will not be destroyed, and the tea taste will not become bitter.

4. The difference in appearance between black tea and green tea: black tea leaves are mostly red or brown, the dry tea has a dark, glossy color, and the tea liquor is red, bright and vivid; green tea leaves have a lustrous green color and the tea liquor is bright.

5. The difference in effects and functions between black tea and green tea: black tea helps intestinal digestion, promotes appetite, and can also promote urination and reduce edema. In addition, black tea has an antioxidant effect, can reduce the incidence of conditions such as myocardial infarction, and black tea is warm in nature and suitable for drinking in winter.

Green tea is cool in nature and suitable for drinking in the hot summer. Green tea has notable effects in clearing heat and relieving summer heat, removing oil and reducing weight, detoxifying and sobering up, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, and reducing internal heat and brightening the eyes. It can also prevent cancer, protect against radiation, and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

6. The difference in the groups suitable for drinking black tea and green tea: generally, elderly people, people with deficiency-cold of the spleen and stomach, patients with the three highs, and people with coronary heart disease are relatively suitable for drinking black tea. People who smoke and drink alcohol long term, have difficulty urinating, or have fever and thirst are suitable for drinking green tea.

2. Can black tea and green tea be drunk together?

As an old saying in our country goes, all things reinforce and counteract one another. Some things eaten together can have doubled effects, while some things put together not only have no effect but instead cause harm. Black tea and green tea belong to the latter and cannot be drunk together. The reasons are none other than the following:

1. The tea nature of black tea and green tea is different. The former is warm in nature while the latter is cold. If green tea is drunk in winter, it is easy to harm the spleen and stomach, while if black tea is drunk in summer, it is easy to cause internal heat.

2. The brewing temperatures required by black tea and green tea are different. If the brewing temperature is too high or too low, one will fail to brew out its effects, while the effective components of the other will be destroyed. This really is not worth the loss.

3. Which has a better weight-loss effect, black tea or green tea?

Drinking both black tea and green tea has a weight-loss effect, but the groups they suit are different, so one cannot bluntly say which effect is better.

1. Green tea is suitable for weight-loss people who have internal heat and smoke and drink alcohol long term, while black tea is suitable for people with deficiency-cold of the stomach and intestines.

2. Although both black tea and green tea have a weight-loss effect, it is only auxiliary. If you do not exercise and do not control your diet, it is impossible to rely on drinking tea alone. Therefore, only with reasonable eating habits plus a certain amount of exercise, together with drinking tea, will there be an effect.
