There are four special qualities for appreciating Tibetan tea: it is called "red, strong, old and mellow". "Red" refers to the red color of the tea soup, which is fresh and lovely; "strong" refers to the authentic taste of the tea, which is refreshing and smooth when drinking; "Chen" refers to the old fragrance, and the longer the old tea is stored, the stronger the tea fragrance; "Chen" refers to the entrance of the tea that is not astringent or bitter, smooth and sweet, and has a mellow taste. Modern medical research shows that Tibetan tea produced through long-lasting fermentation through a special process contains nearly 500 kinds of organic compounds that are beneficial to the human body, about 700 kinds of aroma compounds, and is also quite rich in inorganic substances, including no less than 15 kinds of minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and selenium. It has the following functional characteristics:

Catechins

Commonly known as tea tannin, it is a unique component of tea and has bitter, astringent and astringent properties. It can be combined with caffeine in tea soup to alleviate the physiological effects of caffeine on the human body. It has the effects of antioxidant, anti-sudden mutation, anti-tumor, reducing blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein content, inhibiting blood pressure rise, inhibiting platelet aggregation, antibacterial, and anti-product allergy.

Caffeine

It has a bitter taste and is an important component of the taste of tea soup. In the tea soup, it combines with polyphenols to form a complex; when the tea soup is cold, it forms an emulsification phenomenon. The unique catechins and their oxidation condensates in tea can slow down and sustain the excitatory effects of caffeine. Therefore, drinking tea can keep people clear-headed and have more endurance when driving long distances.
