Tea, like water, is one of the most consumed beverages in the world. We distinguish many different types of tea with different health properties. Among them, you can find red tea. The benefits of drinking red tea are many, including helping you lose weight, reducing cholesterol, or protecting you from pox. To get the most out of its properties, you need to know how to brew it, and the types are worth paying attention to.
Pu-erh, oolong, puszong - varieties of red tea
Red tea is produced from leaves that undergo short-term fermentation, which does not ruin the leaves but stains them to a purplish hue. Red tea falls under the category of semi-fermented teas, as it is dried before rolling the leaves to complete the process of polyphenol oxidation. Red tea is known for its earthy-spicy taste and combines the characteristics of both green and black teas. The currently available varieties of red tea in the market are Pu-erh, Oolong, and Puszong. In the era of the People's Republic of Poland, the primary variety of red tea was Oolong, also known as Ulung, turquoise, blue, or emerald. However, the most recognized variety of red tea is Pu-erh, originating from the Chinese province of Yunnan. In comparison to other red tea varieties, Pu-erh has a higher degree of fermentation (70%). This popular infusion is helpful in many health ailments. The benefits of red tea and other tea varieties are attributed to the content of various compounds such as alkaloids (theobromine, caffeine), flavonoids (tannins, catechins, polyphenols), mineral components, and organic acids. The best red tea is primarily produced in Southeast China and Taiwan. The most expensive and best teas age up to 50 years.
Red tea aiding weight diminution
Red tea contains more enzymes and polyphenols than black tea, as the fermentation process is shorter, which aids in weight reduction. Polyphenols are compounds that facilitate digestion and regulate the excretion of bile, reducing the accumulation of fatty tissue in the liver (due to the presence of gallic acid), and lowering cholesterol levels. Optimized bile secretion ensures that dietary fats are more efficiently digested and absorbed. Furthermore, red tea compounds influence the feeling of satiety and may increase energy expenditure. To support weight loss, it is recommended to drink 5-6 cups of red tea daily, between meals. It is important to note that red tea can support weight loss, but it is not the only factor that plays a key role in this process. It also reduces inflammation, lowers blood sugar levels, alleviates allergy symptoms, has hepatoprotective effects, improves lipid profiles, enhances brain function, has diuretic properties, normalizes blood pressure, and, due to its fluoride content, may prevent tooth decay. Recent studies confirm its effect in reducing the risk of developing cancer. It is also a source of minerals, essential oils, and fluoride.
