Why Does Pu-erh Tea Nourish Stomach?

The principle of Pu-erh cooked tea to nourish the stomach
After fermentation, cooked tea has a large amount of derivatives, which are basically small molecules, which are beneficial to the absorption of the human gastrointestinal tract and have little irritation. Green tea is different from oolong tea. Although they contain higher levels of tea polyphenols than Pu-erh tea, many of the substances contained in tea polyphenols are large molecules. Drinking on an empty stomach can strongly stimulate the human gastrointestinal tract.

Therefore, adults and children with weakened constitutions are often told to drink green tea with caution, not to drink green tea on an empty stomach. The green tea that Chinese medicine says is "very cold" is probably related to the macromolecules it contains.
Similarly, Pu-erh tea that has not undergone artificial fermentation and natural fermentation (ie freshly picked Pu-erh raw tea) cannot be consumed on an empty stomach because of its high molecular weight.
Therefore, in addition to Pu-erh tea raw tea, Pu-erh tea that has been naturally fermented for more than ten years and Pu-erh cooked tea aged for more than three years have the benefit of "stomach warming", the main reason is related to small molecules.

The pectin substance contained in cooked tea is much higher than other teas. It not only shows good adsorption, but also can bind and eliminate bacterial toxins and other harmful substances in the body, such as lead, mercury and radioactive elements in heavy metals, play a detoxification role; at the same time it can protect the gastric mucosa and help digestion.

For those suffering from gastric ulcer or gastritis, Pu-erh tea pectin can form a thin film and adhere to the wound of the stomach, promote the healing of the ulcer surface, and is suitable for drinking for patients with gastric diseases.

The caffeine contained in Pu-erh cooked tea can neutralize the stomach acid of the human body, thereby improving the digestive function. The key point of Pu-erh cooked tea to nourish the stomach is the quality of fermentation.
