Tea to drink when you want to do something! Introducing recommended teas for different purposes and occasions

Introduction

There are so many different types of tea that it can be hard to decide which one to choose.

Since different types of tea have different ingredients and flavors, you can get the most out of their effects by drinking them at the right time.

This time, we will introduce the best tea for each occasion throughout the day.

First thing in the morning... Matcha, Gyokuro, and Premium Sencha

In the morning, we recommend tea that contains a lot of caffeine, which helps stimulate the brain.

These teas are rich in caffeine, which stimulates the central nervous system and makes the brain function more active.

Start your day refreshed with strong gyokuro, sencha, or matcha tea brewed in hot water to ensure the caffeine is fully extracted.

Additionally, the catechins contained in green tea are also effective in treating hangover symptoms.

However, drinking tea on an empty stomach can irritate your stomach, so be sure to have something in your stomach before drinking it.

During breaks from studying or work, or during meetings... Premium Sencha and Gyokuro

Have you ever had the experience of losing concentration when you had to write a report late into the night before an important presentation?

In such cases, we recommend Sencha or Gyokuro.

Drinking strong sencha or gyokuro tea brewed in hot water allows the caffeine to stimulate the brain and improve concentration.

Caffeine has the effect of stimulating the central nervous system, and by activating brain activity, it can also be expected to improve thinking ability and judgment.

Caffeine dissolves easily in hot water, so by brewing it strong with hot water, you can consume caffeine efficiently. It also helps prevent drowsiness during long driving sessions.

However, caffeine also has a diuretic effect, so avoid drinking too much and remember to stay hydrated.

When hungry: Bancha tea, Houjicha tea

When you're hungry, bancha tea or hojicha tea are good choices.

Some people may like strong tea, but drinking strong tea on an empty stomach can irritate the stomach and make you feel uncomfortable. This is because the caffeine in strong tea stimulates the secretion of stomach acid.

On the other hand, bancha and hojicha are roasted, so they contain less caffeine and are gentle on the stomach.

Furthermore, the fragrant aroma will whet your appetite, making it the perfect drink to have before a meal.

If you are feeling very hungry or something is missing, be sure to try bancha or hojicha.

After the meal: High-grade or mid-grade sencha or roasted green tea

We recommend having a cup of hot sencha tea after your meal.

Brewing it strong with hot water brings out the natural flavor and subtle bitterness of the tea, leaving your mouth feeling refreshed.

In addition, catechins, which are abundant in green tea, have antibacterial properties and are said to be useful in preventing tooth decay and food poisoning.

Also, after a greasy meal, the fragrant aroma of roasted green tea is perfect.

It washes away any oily residue left in your mouth and leaves you with a refreshing aftertaste.

The fragrant aroma of roasted green tea has a relaxing effect, making it the perfect way to end a meal.

Afternoon Break: Flavored Tea

For a refreshing afternoon, why not try some flavored tea based on Japanese tea?

Since it is Japanese tea, it will clear your head, while the sweet scent of flowers and fruits will soothe your tired mind.

There are many different flavors of Japanese tea available these days, such as grape, berry and summer mandarin, so why not choose one that suits your mood that day?

Before sports: Gyokuro, high-grade sencha

Caffeine is also known as a muscle stimulant because it is expected to have the effect of increasing the power of muscle movement.

Taking caffeine before exercise can help improve your performance.

In particular, teas with a high caffeine content, such as gyokuro and high-grade sencha, are recommended.

Brewing these teas in hot water will give you more caffeine.

Drink one cup 30 minutes before exercise and then every 30 minutes during exercise to provide sustained energy and burn fat.

Before doing heavy lifting or playing sports, be sure to try some Gyokuro or Sencha.

Along with the rich flavor of the tea, you may also experience improved athletic performance.

Before sleep: Bancha tea, Genmaicha tea

If you are going to drink tea before going to bed, we recommend teas such as bancha, genmaicha, or hojicha, which contain less caffeine, which has a central nervous system stimulant effect.

Alternatively, try a weaker Sencha tea brewed at a low temperature. These hot teas are gentle and perfect for relaxing before bed.

On the other hand, gyokuro and matcha contain a lot of caffeine, so avoid drinking them at night and choose other types of tea.

Even the elderly and young children can safely enjoy tea with low caffeine content.

Finally

What did you think? This time we introduced various types of tea to suit different occasions.

As a matter of fact, I myself have been drinking matcha in the morning for about a month now!

On weekday mornings, once I've finished taking care of my household chores and getting ready, I like to make and drink matcha. The caffeine helps clear my head, and smelling the delicious aroma of matcha helps calm me down even on busy mornings.
