I. The Story of Tea
Tea originated in China, boasting a history of over four thousand years. It is a natural health-promoting beverage unique to the Chinese people and the source of world tea culture.

The earliest tea originates from the ancient legend of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs. In ancient times, Shennong, to save the people, traveled throughout the mountains and fields, personally tasting herbs to identify their medicinal properties. Legend has it that after accidentally ingesting a poisonous herb, he suffered from abdominal pain and dizziness, and was on the verge of death. He accidentally chewed fresh tea leaves from a mountain tea tree, and the poison was immediately relieved, his mind cleared, and his body and mind felt relaxed.

From this, Shennong discovered that tea can detoxify, clear heat, aid digestion, refresh the mind, and harmonize the body and mind. Initially, tea was used as a medicine to save lives and promote health. Later, it gradually evolved from being eaten raw or cooked into a brewed beverage. From medicinal use and food, to becoming a daily drink for scholars, literati, and ordinary people for thousands of years, tea has precipitated the gentle, serene, and health-promoting Eastern tea ceremony, passed down through generations and its fragrance continues to this day.

II. Tea vs. Coffee

1. Advantages and Disadvantages of Tea
Tea is mild and does not harm the body; the more you drink, the more nourishing it becomes. Tea, through the synergistic effect of theanine, tea polyphenols, and trace amounts of caffeine, provides a steady boost, alleviates anxiety, calms the mind, and relieves stress. The energizing effect is long-lasting and not overly stimulating; after drinking it, one feels clear-headed and relaxed, without experiencing palpitations or tremors. It is gentle on the stomach, with minimal burden on the digestive system, whether consumed on an empty stomach or regularly. It also has antioxidant properties, aids digestion, and relieves fatigue.

2. Coffee’s Advantages and Disadvantages
Coffee relies on a high concentration of caffeine for a strong energizing effect. Its advantage is its rapid onset, but its disadvantages are significant: it is highly stimulating, easily causing palpitations, acid reflux, and stomach upset; drinking it before bed can easily lead to insomnia. The energizing effect is short-lived, followed by a sharp drop in fatigue; long-term consumption can easily lead to caffeine dependence and mental tension. It is not suitable for the elderly, those with weak digestive systems, those with poor sleep, or those with sensitive constitutions.

Suitable for all people and all scenarios. Six major tea categories are suitable for all seasons: black tea and dark tea warm the stomach, green tea and white tea clear heat, and oolong tea cuts through grease and leaves a sweet aftertaste. Suitable for all ages and genders, teas are perfect for the office, late nights, after meals, daily health maintenance, and as gifts. They are non-addictive, have no side effects, and are the only healthy beverage that can be enjoyed daily long-term with increasing comfort.

Tea’s only drawback: its energizing effect isn’t as rapid as coffee, but it excels in providing a stable, harmless, and sustainable boost.

III. Why Choose Tea Over Coffee?

An organic, all-natural beverage. Don’t want to rely on coffee to stay awake, experience anxiety and insomnia, or overexert yourself for energy? Choosing tea is the healthiest lifestyle for adults. Coffee provides a short-term, depleted boost, while tea offers a gentle, nourishing, and sustained effect. A good cup of tea uses natural nutrients to soothe fatigue, enhance focus, provide alertness without overstimulation, and relieve stress without causing internal exhaustion. It offers flavor in all seasons, can be brewed hot or cold, and is suitable for daily thirst quenching, energizing the office, cutting through grease after meals, and calming the mind before bed. Abandon stimulation and burden, use a cup of warm oriental tea to stabilize your daily routine and cultivate a healthy complexion and overall well-being in the long run.

一、茶的故事
茶叶源自中国，拥有四千多年历史，是华夏专属的天然养生饮品，也是世界茶饮文化的源头。
最早的茶，源自神农尝百草的古老传说。上古时期神农氏为解救万民，遍历山野亲尝草木，辨别药性。相传他误食毒草后腹痛眩晕、危在旦夕，偶然嚼食山间茶树鲜叶，随即毒素缓解、头脑清明、身心舒展。
自此神农发现茶叶可解毒清热、消食醒脑、调和身心。最初茶叶作为良药救人养生，后世逐渐从生食、煮羹演变为冲泡茶饮。从药用、食用，再到千年文人雅士、寻常百姓的日常饮品，茶叶沉淀出温润、从容、养生的东方茶道，代代相传，香延至今。

二、茶叶对比咖啡

1. 茶叶优缺点
温和不伤身，越喝越养人。茶叶依靠茶氨酸+茶多酚微量咖啡因协同作用，稳提神、缓焦虑、静心解压，提神绵长不亢奋，喝完头脑清醒、心态松弛，不会心慌手抖。对肠胃温和，空腹、日常长期饮用负担极低，还能抗氧化、解腻消食、舒缓疲劳。

2. 咖啡优缺点
咖啡依靠高浓度咖啡因强行提神，优点是起效快，但弊端非常明显：刺激性强、容易心慌反酸、伤肠胃，睡前饮用极易失眠。提神后劲短，亢奋过后会断崖式疲惫，长期饮用容易产生咖啡因依赖、精神紧绷，老人、肠胃弱、睡眠差、体质敏感人群都不适合。

全人群、全场景适配。六大茶类四季可饮：红茶黑茶暖胃、绿茶白茶清火、乌龙解腻回甘，老少皆宜、男女适配，办公、熬夜、餐后、日常养生、待客送礼都合适。无依赖性、无副作用，是唯一可以长期天天喝、越喝越舒服的健康饮品。

茶叶唯一短板：提神速度不如咖啡迅猛，但胜在状态稳定、不伤身、可持续。

三、为什么选择茶叶而不是咖啡

有机纯天然饮品，不想靠咖啡硬撑精神、不想心慌失眠、不想透支身体提神？选茶，才是成年人最健康的生活方式。咖啡是短暂透支式提神，茶叶是温和滋养式续航。一杯好茶，靠天然营养舒缓疲惫、提升专注，清醒不亢奋、提神不伤身、解压不内耗。四季有风味，冷热皆可泡，日常解渴、办公续命、饭后解腻、睡前静心全都适配。摒弃刺激与负担，用一杯东方温茶，稳住日常状态，养出长期好气色、好状态。
