It must be decocted in water, or poured into a pot with boiling soup, and then warmed with fire before the taste is released. It is thick black in color, bitter and sweet in taste, and is refreshing and stomachic when eaten. It is moist in nature, bitter and slightly sweet in taste, lowers diaphragm qi, eliminates stagnation, and removes cold."

The caffeine, vitamins, amino acids, phospholipids, etc. in black tea help the human body digest and regulate fat metabolism. This is why carnivorous people especially like this kind of tea. The food structure of the people in the ethnic minority areas of northwest my country consists of beef, mutton and cheese, so there is a saying that "it is better to go without food for three days than to go without tea for one day". This has a lot to do with the effect of black tea on "removing fat and relieving the smell of meat".

It has significant effects in lowering blood lipids, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood sugar, losing weight, preventing cardiovascular disease, and fighting cancer.
