Chinese tea works deeply and subtly, influencing metabolism, blood vessels, and the heart. It is especially valued for its ability to maintain healthy cholesterol levels and help the body manage fatty foods.
Dark Teas: Liu Pao and Pu-erh
Post-fermented teas like Liu Pao and Pu-erh are true allies of digestion. During long fermentation, unique compounds develop that activate lipid metabolism, gently lower LDL cholesterol, and support a healthy weight. Traditionally, Liu Pao is consumed after meals — at this time the tea fully reveals its power and depth of flavour.
Green Tea and Vascular Health
Green tea works differently but is equally effective. Its catechins and antioxidants reduce LDL cholesterol, protect blood vessels from oxidative stress, and support the elasticity of vessel walls. Green tea is a drink of clarity, lightness, and cardiovascular support.
