Features of use
Historically, having appeared in Russia, simple black varieties took root here. They could be poured with boiling water and left to steep for a long time. They withstood brewing with “hard” water, while it destroyed the subtle nuances of taste of high-grade Chinese ones. To decorate the drink, honey, lemon, cream and even jam were added to it. Thanks to this tradition, one of the most popular blends that has survived to this day is “Strawberries with Cream.”
The traditional English culture of drinking tea with dairy products was loved by Russians - the taste became softer.

But Chinese doctors endow green tea with extremely beneficial properties and consider it a preventive measure for many diseases, so they advise increasing the consumption of the drink. The optimal volume of drink consumption is considered to be 0.5 liters per day.

There are many types of tea depending on the preparation technology - black, oolong, yellow, green and white tea. Aromatic black tea with milk and sugar can replace your morning coffee because it contains caffeine and has an energizing effect.
Green tea is a powerful antioxidant. Regulates temperature, blood sugar levels, improves brain function and digestion, overcomes fatigue. Green tea rejuvenates the skin and melts away the pounds. White has the lowest caffeine content, is a natural antioxidant and eliminates fatigue.

Even if everything is fine, try to use less tea leaves. The norm of use in this case is one cup per day. Reviews from women indicate that drinking tea helps improve lactation.
Oolong is like a combination of green and black tea, and yellow is like a taste between white and green. However, in our country, tea is mostly drunk during flu-fueled times. And we call any petals and sachets in a glass of warm water tea. Nature offers us an extraordinary variety of herbs that have different effects on the human body.

What kind of glassware we should drink depends on our personal preferences, as well as the dishes in the kitchen. It is important to know, however, that the taste of tea changes if it is drunk from a plastic or wooden bowl or cup. Therefore, ceramic, porcelain or glass products are preferred. The thickness of the cup walls is chosen depending on whether you want to drink the tea cooler or want to keep it for a long time. The size of the cup is inversely proportional to the quality of the tea. Good tea has a very rich aroma and taste and is therefore taken in small quantities to satisfy all the senses.
Cholecystitis
If you have cholecystitis, you can and should drink the drink. Milk is an easily digestible fat, which enhances the flow of bile. Therefore, those suffering from such diseases can safely drink up to a liter of this tea per day.
