Introduction to the medicinal effects of old white tea

As a teacher, I have been working hard for a week to prepare for the final exams. Due to excessive fatigue and the recent hot and cold weather, I unfortunately caught a cold. I took medicine and got injections, but the symptoms of the cold did not improve at all. A friend saw how depressed and miserable I was and recommended to me that Fujian aged white tea should be effective for treating colds.

When I studied tea before, I had some knowledge about Fuding white tea. Zhou Lianggong, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, once described Fuding white tea like this: "Baihao Yinzhen is produced in Hongxue Cave in Taimu Mountain. It is cold in nature and has the same effect as rhinoceros horn. It is a holy medicine for treating measles." Although I did not get measles, there has been a folk legend that Fuding white tea can cure colds.

“Practice makes perfect.” Only by trying can you know the efficacy of a product.

Take a piece of seven-year-old white tea, about eight grams, and put it in a pot. Then add hot water and boil it for about five minutes. At this time, the tea soup is as red as amber, and a medicinal fragrance wafts around. If you don’t know, you might really think it’s a pot of Chinese medicine! When the tea cooled to 50 degrees, I couldn't wait to pick up the big bowl and drink it. The boiled old white tea has a mellow and rich flavor, which is completely different from the feeling of brewing it in the Sancai Gaiwan Kung Fu style. Of course, elderly people with strong taste buds can completely satisfy their taste buds by "cooking", which can also prevent colds, eliminate heat and reduce fire.

After drinking a bowl of white tea, warmth fills the whole soul. Although the symptoms in my throat did not improve immediately, my nostrils, which had been blocked for a long time, were immediately cleared by the fragrance of tea... Then, I drank two bowls in a row, my forehead was slightly sweaty, and the high fever gradually subsided.

Of course, some people were dismissive and said contemptuously: "What's the big deal? The noodle soup my mother made can also cure colds!" Then everyone took out their own ancestral secret recipes for treating colds, such as washing hair with ginger water, ancestral cupping, and even various massage therapies. In a short time, they collected many ways to treat colds! Of course, I am a tea lover, and I prefer Fuding white tea for its effect in treating colds! <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

For three consecutive days, I used Fuding old white tea as a medicine guide and combined it with proper rest. The cold symptoms gradually eased, breathing became smoother, and the throat was no longer sore or dry! So I told my parents who are doctors. They said, “The flu will heal itself in seven days. You will get better even if you don’t drink the old white tea!” Of course I didn’t object to what they said, but the inflammation caused by the cold was improved by drinking Fuding old white tea.

Not only did I spend over a few hundred dollars, but the bitter pills that were hard to swallow and the needles that hurt my skin made me suffer a lot from the cold, but it didn't alleviate my cold symptoms at all. However, after three days of drinking aged white tea, not only did I enjoy the refreshing tea aroma, but my stubborn cold symptoms were also alleviated, to the point where I completely recovered. So a cold is not a disease; drinking aged white tea does the trick.
