How do tea taste preferences change depending on the season?
As with food and drink, there are different types of Ceylon tea for each season : summer, fall, winter and spring. Just like coffee lovers choose iced drinks for warm days and pumpkin spice for fall, there are also good times of year for drinking certain teas . According to traditional Chinese medicine beliefs, many foods and flavors can be classified based on their warming or cooling properties. In many cultures, balancing cooling and heating is emphasized as achieving radiant health , which can only be achieved by maintaining a neutral body state. In other words, your body should neither warm up nor cool down too much. Here's a guide to the different types of tea you can drink depending on the season.
What teas are drunk in spring and summer?
Spring is a time of new beginnings and a time of experimentation. This is also the time to refresh your tea supply. Unfortunately, there are also colder days when you still need a bit of comforting warmth . Spring and summer are warmer months, so the consumption of cooler foods increases .
