So does black tea have the effect of warming and nourishing the stomach?

In order to achieve a certain stomach-nourishing effect from black tea, it is recommended not to drink tea that is too strong. The taste of the tea can be adjusted by the amount of tea and water added. Most people only need to add 3-5g of tea, and the ratio of tea to water should be maintained at around 50:1. The brewed black tea will generally be of moderate strength and taste refreshing and sweet. It is best to use an open cup to brew black tea. Do not wait until the water in the cup is all gone before adding hot water. It is best to add water when there is about 1/3 of water left. Each cup of black tea tastes best when added with water three times.

Black tea must be drunk hot to have a beneficial effect on the stomach. It is best to brew and drink black tea immediately. If the temperature is low, the tea will easily become cold.

In addition, you should pay attention to the method when brewing black tea in winter. The water temperature should not be too high, and it is best to be between 80℃ and 95℃. If you use a covered bowl to brew, the amount of tea should be controlled at around 6 grams each time. If you use a purple clay teapot to brew, you can increase or decrease the amount appropriately depending on the size of the teapot. The brewing and maintenance of teapots are mutually dependent.
