Soothing Chinese Tea

Calm, only calm is Carlson's famous phrase, especially relevant in our time.

The dynamics of the life of a metropolis, traffic, traffic jams, maximum load at work, and even at home are not always quiet and grace - each of us knows at least one of these stressful situations. Often they are repeated day after day, accumulate and can lead to a nervous breakdown.

Small shakes are useful for the body, they tone it, however, if stress is too strong or too long, it is no longer necessary to talk about a positive effect. Anxiety and anxiety have a complex effect on the body. With prolonged exposure, all systems suffer immediately.

Anxiety and stress are hard to fight. Taking sedatives puts you at risk for side effects and addiction. This is why more and more people are looking for a safer and more natural solution.

Why is tea the best ally in stress management?

For more than 5000 years, Asians have been drinking tea. Buddhist monks have long used tea for meditation, believing that tea frees the mind from negative thoughts, and the body - from excessive constriction. Tea is drunk in a calm measured atmosphere, breathing in the aroma, feeling the warmth of the cup, enjoying the taste of each sip. Manipulating tea, a teapot and bowls surprisingly makes you focus on the process. Plunging into the brewing, we are completely free from the surrounding fuss.

The relaxing and calming properties of tea are explained not only by the relaxing atmosphere of tea drinking - many substances that are part of the chemical composition of tea leaves have a natural sedative effect.

What tea calms?

Gaba tea

The miraculous discovery of Japanese scientists made it possible to preserve the valuable amino acid GABA in tea. This is the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter of the human central nervous system, which is produced in the brain. GABA has antiepileptic and anti-stress effects, perfectly relieves physical and nervous tension, helps to concentrate on goals. Therapists prescribe drugs containing gamma-aminobutyric acid even to hyperactive children.

Why take chemically generated GABA, if you can enjoy the beautiful and delicious GABA tea, in which this amino acid is stored in its natural form?

Black tea

Whenever you feel stressed or anxious, your level of cortisol, or stress hormone, rises. To remove alarms, cortisol must stabilize and return to normal levels. Studies show that black tea is generally healthy and can help lower cortisol levels.

In addition, black tea has a positive effect on the emotional state with its aroma, creating a feeling of home comfort and security. The feeling of comfort and safety is enhanced by the warming effect of black tea. A cup of a fragrant drink will help get rid of fatigue and tension, relieve negativity and fill with a positive mood.

Alpine oolong

There is such a wonderful substance as L-theanine - this is an amino acid of natural origin, which increases the stress resistance of the body and its energy reserves. In alpine tea, the amount of this amino acid surpasses. L-theanine helps increase the activity of brain alpha waves and a surge in dopamine, the “hormone of happiness”. The higher the oolong grows, the more happy amino acids are in it. Interestingly, its amount can be determined even for taste. The Japanese call this taste "minds," the fifth taste. A kind of creamy sweet, hard to describe, but you will definitely feel. The highest mountain varieties, for example, Da Yu Lin, inspire with one aroma and fill them with a joyful mood.

Green and White Tea

Although green tea is known to everyone as invigorating and leading among others in caffeine content, the presence of the aforementioned L-theanine in this tea is also very high. Thanks to this, green tea does not act sedatively, but rather fills with pure joy and relieves negative mood. The body receives a surge of energy and increased resources to combat stress.

In white tea, caffeine is slightly less than in green, but more than L-theanine.

Teas with a high content of a tea kidney (tipsa) are especially rich in a happy amino acid - Silver Needles, Bi Lo Chun and others. However, one should not get carried away with green tea shortly before sleep - it can give an excessive energy boost and prevent sleep on time. At night it is better to drink a cup of black tea or oolong.

Puer

Puer is believed to invigorate. But did you see at least one person who, after a thoughtful tea party with a solid 20-year-old shu puer, wanted to do physical education or jogging? ;-) Puer invigorates, it is. But this vivacity of a completely different nature - vivacity of the mind, filling with creative ideas, the desire to communicate and create. Anger, irritability, depression after puer? Nope, not heard. But they heard about the state of tea intoxication, which is never accompanied by negative manifestations of anxiety or aggression.
