Addicted to Pu'er tea? Is tea leaf drinking really addictive?

Tea leaves are not actually for eating, but many people are always addicted to eating tea leaves. Eating tea leaves is equivalent to drinking tea water. Soak the tea leaves in water and then drink it, which is equivalent to eating tea leaves. Drinking tea leaves is not addictive, but drinking Pu'er tea may be addictive, just like smoking. Some people drink Pu'er all year round and cannot do without the taste of Pu'er. Therefore, you must drink Pu'er in moderation and cannot rely on it for a long time.

This sentence is very fatal, it illustrates at least two points :

1. Drinking Pu'er tea is addictive .

For many tea drinkers, drinking tea is addictive, so many old tea drinkers cannot live without tea. There is a saying that "If I don't drink tea for a day, I will feel uneasy." The saying “Once you start drinking Pu’er tea, you will no longer want to drink other teas” at least shows that the addiction to drinking Pu’er tea is more serious than drinking other teas. This addiction can be explained by the physiological attraction of Pu'er tea, which means that one will feel uncomfortable if he does not drink Pu'er tea. It can also be explained that Pu'er tea is so delicious that after drinking Pu'er tea, drinking other teas can no longer be called drinking tea!

2. Drinking Pu'er tea can help you quit tea addiction .

It was mentioned above that some people become addicted to drinking tea, just like people become addicted to smoking. I believe that tea has such an effect, although I have not yet felt what it is like to be addicted to tea! If drinking Pu'er tea can relieve tea addiction, this explanation is also in line with the view that "Once you drink Pu'er tea, you will no longer want to drink other teas!"

I have a friend who is a Pu'er tea enthusiast. He firmly believes in the saying "Once you drink Pu'er tea, you will no longer want to drink any other tea." He uses his personal experience to prove his point, in order to make me believe that Pu'er tea has some kind of magic, and that this magic is kind, not malicious. I met this gentleman by chance at the Fourth Pu'er Tea Expo in Kunming not long ago. He changed his previous statement and invited me to drink the black tea he sells. At this time, he said: "After drinking black tea for a while, I found that black tea is better than Pu'er tea. I am ashamed that I have been deceived for so long!" I can't evaluate this friend's feelings, but one thing I can be sure of is that he is now in the black tea business! There is nothing wrong with doing or saying anything, but it is not good to spread rumors and force yourself to believe in a fallacious statement.

Tea is sweet, bitter and slightly cold in nature and is a traditional natural health drink in my country. People have discovered that tea contains more than 500 chemical components, among which the main components are organic compounds such as caffeine, tea polyphenols, proteins, amino acids, sugars, vitamins, lipids, organic acids, etc. It also contains 28 inorganic nutrients such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, copper, etc. The combination ratio of various chemical components is very harmonious.

Moderate tea drinking has certain medical and health benefits for the human body. It can boost spirits, relieve fatigue, aid digestion, reduce inflammation and kill bacteria, prevent and treat intestinal infectious diseases, prevent heatstroke and reduce body temperature, quench thirst and promote salivation.

What does it matter if a drink that can bring health to people is addictive?
