In the dead of night, no matter whether you drink light tea or strong tea, or whether you can drink tea and meditate, you don’t have to worry about soaking away your irritability. However, I often hear friends say that they are worried that drinking tea at night will cause insomnia, but they are not willing to miss the beautiful thing of drinking tea at night.

In fact, there are ways to avoid insomnia by drinking tea at night. There are many types of tea, and some of them are suitable for drinking at night, especially for tea lovers who don’t drink much tea.

What kind of tea is good to drink at night?

For tea suitable for drinking at night, the first thing to do is to understand the characteristics of tea leaves. Whether it is black tea or green tea, they both have the functions of "refreshing" and "soothing". The key depends on how you drink it. The time and method of drinking are different, and the effects will be different.

Black tea

Black tea is a fully fermented tea. After the "ripening" process, the content of tea polyphenols is reduced and the irritation to the stomach is also reduced, so it is suitable for drinking at night. Especially for people with weak spleen and stomach, adding some milk when drinking black tea can warm the stomach to a certain extent.

Shupu

After eating three meals, the body will accumulate some fatty food in the digestive system. Drinking some cooked Pu'er after dinner can help break down the fat accumulated in the body, which can not only warm the stomach but also help digestion and fat elimination. Ripe Pu is a post-fermented tea with a warmer and mellow nature. Drinking Ripe Pu has many benefits and will neither hurt your stomach nor affect your sleep.

White tea

If you are not used to the taste of Pu'er tea, you can also use white tea instead. There is also Shoumei tea. Shoumei tea enters the lung meridian. The tea has a gentle nature and will not affect sleep.

How to avoid drinking Pu'er tea from affecting your sleep?

1. Don’t drink strong Pu’er tea

Drinking Pu'er tea should not be too strong. Generally, 150ml of water and 5g of tea will suffice. When drinking, you should pour out the first brewed tea and drink the re-brewed tea, then the refreshing effect will not be as strong.

2. Control the amount of tea you drink

Drinking too much Pu'er tea every day will also affect your sleep. Therefore, it is necessary to control the amount of tea consumed, and it is best not to exceed 20g per day.

3. Do not drink Pu’er tea 2 hours before going to bed

The caffeine contained in Pu'er tea has a long-lasting refreshing effect. In order not to affect sleep, it is best not to drink tea 30 minutes before going to bed.

Essentials for drinking tea in the evening:

When the tea leaves have just been brewed for about 3 minutes, most of the caffeine in the tea leaves has been dissolved into the tea water. At this time, the tea has obvious refreshing effects and makes people excited. If you are afraid of insomnia, don’t drink the first tea soup, let alone strong tea.

1. Drink lighter tea to reduce caffeine.

2. Drink tea with a sweet taste. It contains a lot of theanine, which has been scientifically proven to be more conducive to sleep than sleeping pills without any side effects.

3. Drink tea with more fermentation.

For people who drink less tea, the amount of tea they drink at night should be reduced by half compared to the amount during the day. It is not suitable to drink too strong tea. It is best to drink tea after dinner.

In addition, people who are easily agitated, have poor sleep conditions, and are in weak health can also drink tea in moderation.
