From medical classics, we know that green skin is cold and strong in nature, and in order to avoid causing harm to the body, green skin cannot be used alone. The Xiaoqinggan Pu'er tea, which is made from the warm nature of ripe tea and Xiaoqinggan, although it has largely matched the fierceness of Xiaoqinggan, making Xiaoqinggan Pu'er tea relatively warm and cool in nature. However, tea drinkers who are weak, weak in qi and blood, or have poor liver and spleen should still drink less. People with relatively weak bodies such as children and the elderly should drink less.

Suitable people for Xiaoqinggan Pu’er tea:

Comprehensive reference to medical books and modern research shows that the limonene in Xiaoqinggan Pu'er tea can promote the secretion of digestive juices, which is more suitable for people with high-calorie and greasy diets to digest and relieve greasiness. People with insufficient gastric acid secretion and weak digestive function can also drink Xiaoqinggan Pu'er in moderation. Tea helps digestion; for people with gas and bloating, drinking Xiaoqinggan Pu'er tea can help expel the waste gas accumulated in the intestines; for people with a hot body constitution, drinking Xiaoqinggan Pu'er tea can also help remove internal heat, remove dampness, and eliminate phlegm; Xiaoqinggan has outstanding antipyretic effects, and is especially suitable for drinking in hot weather.

Precautions for storing Xiaoqinggan Puer tea:

Small green mandarin oranges are not yet mature when picked, and have a certain bitterness, which also requires more time to store, and the integration effect with ripe Pu'er will be better, and the later transformation effect will be excellent. Generally speaking, when we talk about the preservation of tea, we will talk about three crucial factors: moisture-proof, insect-proof, and odor-proof. As long as these three key elements are taken care of, there will basically be no problems with tea.

Small green tangerines need to be sealed and stored:

Many people think that sealed storage must be in a vacuum state, but it is not. The sealed storage we talk about in tea mainly means storing the tea in bags or jars that are not directly exposed to the air, and minimizing the air in the bags or jars.

To store tea, a small amount of oxygen is still needed to oxidize the substances in the tea leaves to make the tea taste mellow. Therefore, we usually say that the first key to sealing tea is moisture-proof, not necessarily vacuum. The same is true for Xiaoqinggan. The skin of Xiaoqinggan is rich in oily substances. When sealed and stored, the inner substances in the skin and Pu'er tea will be more integrated, so that the flavor of Xiaoqinggan can be better preserved.

Since green mandarin or Pu'er inhales moisture or other odors, their taste will change. Therefore, they need to be stored in a ventilated, dry and clean environment. For long-term storage, just put the intact small green tangerine tea into a sealed ceramic jar, glass jar or iron can. If you find that the tangerine peel is soft, just put it in the sun and dry it once or twice.

From the above content, we can know that Xiaoqinggan Pu'er tea has many functions. It is no wonder that Xiaoqinggan Pu'er tea is welcomed by many people. But be careful not to drink too much. Drinking in moderation is best for your body. Especially those with weak Qi and blood, poor liver and spleen, should drink less to avoid causing physical discomfort. In short, everyone just needs to remember to drink correctly and in moderation.
