Is green tea fermented tea?

In life, many people have different definitions of the word fermentation. Everyone thinks fermentation is different. In fact, the main reason for fermentation is to store some things to a certain stage, and then they can achieve certain effects through their own direction. First of all, whether drinks like green tea are fermented has become a problem that many people have begun to pay attention to. So is green tea fermented?

The difference between fermented tea and non-fermented tea is:

1. Different effects

1. Fermented tea is mild in nature and is preferred by more people. Although green tea is very stimulating, it retains many original leaf ingredients and is fresh and delicious. In addition to the efficacy, you also need to consider your own physical condition and choose the tea that suits you.

2. Fermented tea has good effects on nourishing and protecting the stomach, and has certain therapeutic effects on lowering blood lipids, blood pressure, and blood sugar. This is mainly because during the fermentation process of fermented tea, a lot of changes occur in the chemical substances contained in the tea leaves, and the nature of the tea gradually becomes milder and is not too irritating to the stomach and intestines.

The main feature of unfermented tea is that it retains more natural substances in the tea leaves. These natural substances have anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, and anti-aging effects. For example, green tea is very effective in this regard. However, since it has not been fermented, the content of tea polyphenols in unfermented tea is much higher than that of other teas, and its astringency is also stronger. Compared with fermented tea, it is somewhat irritating and can easily irritate the stomach.

2. Different storage methods

Unfermented tea: Green tea Longjing, Biluochun. These teas have a relatively short shelf life, between one month and three months, and should be drunk as soon as possible to taste fresh. Fermented tea: Black tea Pu'er. These teas taste better the longer they are stored.

Friendly reminder: Under the same environment and conditions, different people have different effects on drinking different teas and have different taste preferences. Some people will feel uncomfortable after drinking green tea, while others feel refreshed; some people can get rid of sore throats by drinking chrysanthemum, but for others it doesn't work. Everyone can choose suitable tea to drink according to their own preferences and physical needs.
