Tea polyphenols, caffeine and other substances contained in tea have astringent effects and have a certain stimulating effect on the stomach. The irritation is stronger on an empty stomach, so sometimes drinking tea on an empty stomach will cause discomfort. Black tea is made through fermentation and baking. The tea polyphenols undergo an enzymatic oxidation reaction under the action of oxidase. The content is reduced, and the irritation to the stomach is also reduced.

Not only does black tea not hurt the stomach, it can actually nourish the stomach. The oxidation products of tea polyphenols in black tea can promote human digestion. Regular drinking of black tea with sugar and milk can reduce inflammation and protect the gastric mucosa. Of course, black tea should not be drunk cold, as it will affect the effect of nourishing and warming the stomach, and may also reduce the nutritional content if left for too long.
