Do you know what the tea leaves at the bottom are used for?
The tea leaves at the bottom are commonly referred to as tea dregs. We also shared the benefits of tea dregs yesterday. For most people who find it troublesome, tea dregs are almost always thrown away casually. In fact, observing the tea dregs is also a key step in judging the quality of tea, just like appreciating dry tea leaves, smelling the aroma, and tasting the flavor—it is an important step in tea tasting. In the professional tea evaluation process, the final step is to examine the tea leaves at the bottom and score them. Therefore, learning to observe the tea leaves at the bottom is also very important.
Two Bowls of Tea by Bai Juyi
After eating, I take a nap; upon waking, I have two bowls of tea;
I lift my head to see the sunlight, already slanting to the southwest;
Joyful people regret how quickly the day passes, while the anxious dislike how slowly the year drags;
Those without worries or joys let life take its course, whether long or short.
Benefits of Used Tea Leaves 👇
1. Stop Bleeding
Overnight tea is rich in tannins, which can accelerate blood clotting. It can be used as a mouth rinse for oral bleeding or applied for bathing on skin bleeding.
2. Improve Vision
The tea polyphenols in overnight tea have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. If your eyes appear red, you can wash them several times a day with overnight tea.
3. Strengthen and Clean Teeth
The fluoride in tea, after combining with the enamel of teeth, enhances resistance to acidic substances and reduces the occurrence of cavities. Fluoride can also eliminate dental plaque. It is best to rinse your mouth with tea water two to three minutes after meals.
4. Eliminate Bad Breath
Tea contains essential oils that are aromatic. Regularly rinsing your mouth with tea can eliminate bad breath.
5. Relieve Itching
Washing your hair or body with warm overnight tea can quickly relieve itching due to the fluoride in tea and also help prevent and treat eczema.
6. Sunburn Protection
For sunburned skin, gently wipe with a towel dipped in overnight tea. Tannins have astringent effects on the skin, and flavonoid compounds in tea also have anti-radiation properties.
7. Contains Alcohol and Fluoride
Overnight tea is rich in alcohol and fluoride, which can prevent capillary bleeding. It can be used to treat oral bleeding, skin bleeding, ulcers, and other issues. If these problems occur in the mouth or nose area, rinse or gargle with overnight tea.
8. Remove Fishy Smell and Grease
Overnight tea is very effective in removing fishy odors and grease. Washing your hands with it after eating shrimp or crab feels particularly refreshing.
9. Promote Bowel Movement
Drinking a cup of cooled overnight tea in the morning can help with bowel movements, awaken the mind, and aid in fat reduction.
10. Hair Growth
Washing your hair with overnight tea promotes hair growth and helps eliminate dandruff. If your eyebrows are sparse, dip a brush in overnight tea and brush your eyebrows daily. Over time, your eyebrows will naturally become fuller and shinier.
