Why Choose TCM Tea Therapy?

The six major Chinese tea types each possess a Five Elements attribute: Green Tea (Wood), Black Tea (Fire), Yellow Tea (Earth), White Tea (Metal), Dark Tea (Water), and Oolong Tea (balances all elements). Following the health principle of "nourish the liver in spring, heart in summer, spleen in late summer, lungs in autumn, and kidneys in winter," drinking the corresponding tea during its respective season can achieve double the result with half the effort.

Tea Drinking Q&A

A: It's advised to mainly drink the tea of the current season (e.g., Green Tea in spring), potentially adding 10% of a supporting "generating" element tea (e.g., Green Tea + a little Black Tea to supplement Fire in spring). Avoid teas from "controlling" elements (e.g., limit Green Tea in autumn/winter to avoid Metal controlling Wood).

A: Yes. We find 62% of users experience constitution fluctuations ("cold in winter, heat in summer"). Recommendations:

Formal constitution analysis in Spring and Autumn
Refer to ancient texts like "Monthly Climate and Phenology" for minor adjustments
Consult a tea therapist promptly if signs like dry mouth or constipation appear

A: The essential trio for workplace tea:

Gravity steeper (suitable for Green/Oolong tea)
Thermos flask for stewing (suitable for Dark Tea/Aged White Tea)
Cold brew bottle (for summer Green/White tea)

We provide a "Workplace Tea Art Handbook" guiding brewing techniques for different scenarios.
