Fuding white tea has outstanding benefits; what are the advantages of drinking it regularly?
In the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon), it says: "The wise in nourishing life must follow the four seasons and adapt to cold and heat, harmonize joy and anger and settle in their dwelling, regulate yin and yang and balance hardness and softness; thus pathogenic influences do not arrive, and one achieves long life and enduring vision." So-called four-season health cultivation, summed up in one phrase, refers to "nourish yang in spring and summer, nourish yin in autumn and winter," meaning people should follow the laws of growth and storage of the four seasons' yin and yang in order to regulate the spirit and nourish life. Nourishing the liver in spring, supplementing the heart in summer, nourishing the spleen and stomach in autumn, and nourishing the kidneys in winter is the most concise summary.
Following the ancients' teachings, health cultivation is actually not that profound or difficult to understand. Learn from nature, adapt to the times and circumstances, and transcend the chaotic troubles of realistic utility; then, with no desires one becomes strong, and body and mind relax. Therefore, people summarize a few points: first, one must understand the characteristics of spring, summer, autumn and winter and adapt to climate changes. Second, one must maintain a calm mindset and regular daily routines. Third, one must regulate the balance of yin and yang, including diet, so that the body balances hardness and softness.
Fuding white tea's rich functions are one aspect of the product's success, and for tea products, their color, aroma, meaning and shape form a complete concept.
According to expert research, some components in tea do not dissolve in water; the proportion of tea that can dissolve in water is less than half, and the other 60%-70% (of nutrients) do not dissolve in water. Using tea in dishes and pairing dishes with tea, on the one hand, from a health standpoint, allows the water-insoluble beneficial components of tea to be eaten; of course, more importantly, it reflects a kind of pleasure. Making tea into a beverage is the most natural thing, while using tea in food is not so simple. Although tea meals are also popular on the market now, most are tea and dishes separate, unable to blend naturally. There are many varieties of tea leaves, and it is not a matter of casually putting tea leaves into dishes; different tea leaves have different colors, aromas, tastes and natures, so when making tea meals, attention should be paid to choosing different cooking methods and matching different dishes.
Hua Tuo, a famous physician at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, mentioned in Shi Lun (Discourse on Food): "Bitter tea consumed over time benefits the mind." This means: "Tea tastes bitter and astringent; after drinking it, it can make people think deeply and empty themselves of distractions and open up their thinking." This was the first record in history of tea having medicinal value. The miraculous physician Hua Tuo at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty traveled year-round in the mountains and forests of the Jianghuai region gathering medicinal herbs and treating the people, accumulating rich medical experience. According to legend: when he was tired, as long as he drank a cup of clear tea, his fatigue immediately disappeared, and so he deeply realized the insight that "bitter tea consumed over time benefits the mind," explaining that tea has the effect of stimulating the brain and refreshing the spirit and relieving fatigue.
