Which one is better for the stomach, black tea or Pu'er tea?

Due to the profoundness of my country's tea culture, many people have the habit of drinking tea in daily life. However, many people often feel stomach discomfort after drinking tea, because the tea polyphenols in tea are astringent and have a certain stimulating effect on the stomach, which is more irritating when the stomach is empty. In life, everyone knows that black tea and Pu'er ripe tea are both fully fermented teas. Which one is better for the stomach? The following is a detailed introduction to which tea is better for the stomach.

Black tea nourishes the stomach

After fermentation and baking, tea polyphenols in black tea undergo enzymatic oxidation reaction under the action of oxidase, the content is reduced, and the irritation to the stomach is reduced accordingly.

Pu'er tea nourishes the stomach

Aged Pu'er tea and cooked Pu'er tea do have the effect of protecting the stomach. At the appropriate concentration, drinking mild Pu'er tea will not irritate the stomach and intestines. The sticky, sweet, and mellow Pu'er tea forms a film when it enters the human stomach and intestines, which adheres to the surface of the stomach and creates a beneficial protective layer for the stomach. Long-term drinking of Pu'er tea can nourish and protect the stomach.
