Dark tea is a unique type of tea in China, with a long production history and rich varieties, such as Yunnan Pu'er tea, Hunan Fuzhuan tea, Guangxi Liubao tea, Hubei Qingzhuan tea and Sichuan Bian tea (Kangzhuan), etc.

Dark tea is a post-fermented tea. Under the action of microorganisms, tea leaves will undergo a series of complex chemical reactions to generate some functional ingredients that are beneficial to the human body.

Pu'er tea and Fuzhuan tea are representatives of different types of Chinese dark tea. Their active ingredients are different, but they both have lipid-lowering effects. Current research shows that Pu'er tea has health-care functions such as lowering blood sugar, lowering blood lipids, and anti-virus. The lipid-lowering effect may be related to the statin compounds in it. Fu brick tea also has a good effect of eliminating fat and greasy, and has a strong function of lowering lipids and losing weight.

In addition, black tea is rich in minerals, and many of them are higher in content than other teas. Black tea is warm in nature and helps to keep out the cold. It is suitable for people with weak constitution.

The method of drinking black tea is relatively simple. You can use a purple clay teapot, elegant cup or covered bowl for brewing.
