White Tea 

(Pinyin: Bai Cha)

Harvested primarily in China, mostly in the Fujian Province, white tea is known to protect the body against certain diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders. It can also provide natural antibacterial properties, help with weight loss and lower cholesterol levels. Even better, this light beverage slows down the aging process. In spite of its name, brewed white tea is pale yellow. Its name derives from the fine silvery-white hairs on the unopened buds of the tea plant, which give the plant a whitish appearance.

Pu-erh Tea 

(Pinyin: Puer Cha)

Pu-erh Tea has long been valued in Chinese herbalism for itsvast benefits. Pu-erh tea (pronounced 『poo-air』) contains high levels of polyphenols (flavonoids, catechins and the aflavin), which are known for their antioxidant activity. These powerful chemicals speed up fat burning as well as reduce stress and heavy metal consumption due to the cell repair compounds found within. The theanine and flavoids found within pu-erh just so happen to aid in digestion after meals by acting as a sponge and accelerator for fat burning.

Oolong Tea 

(Pinyin: Wu Long Cha)

Oolong tea is a traditional Chinese tea made from the leaves, buds and stems of the Camellia Sinensis plant. It is neither a green tea or ablack tea, rather something in between because it’s partially fermented and partially oxidized. Like all forms of tea, Oolong tea is rich in anti-oxidants but apart from that it is rich in minerals such as calcium, manganese, copper, carotin and potassium. It is also said to be rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Vitamin K, and has detoxifying elements such as folicacid and caffeine that stimulate the nervous system.

Chrysanthemum Tea 

(Pinyin: Ju Hua Cha)

Chrysanthemum tea is a flower-based infusion beverage made from chrysanthemum flowers. The drink is transparent and ranges from pale to bright yellow in color, with a floral aroma. Herbal chrysanthemum tea not only tastes great, it also contains high amounts of carotene, a form of vitamin A that will help to address skin ailments, boost immunity as well as prevent advanced blindness and eye issues. Besides, chrysanthemum tea is packed with minerals such as calcium for teeth and bones, magnesium to help with many bodily operations, iron to transport oxygen by blood and potassium to help regulate blood pressure and cardiovascular function.

Jasmine Tea

 (Pinyin: Mo Li Hua Cha)

As the oldest scented tea in history, jasmine tea is scented with jasmine blossoms. Typically, jasmine tea has green tea as the base. However, white tea and black tea are also used. The resulting flavor of jasmine tea is subtly sweet and highly fragrant. The rich floral aroma of night blooming jasmine can naturally soothe anxiety and act as a calming and serene aromatherapy.

Ginger Tea 

(Pinyin: Jiang Cha)

「Everything good is found in ginger.」 states an old Indian proverb. According to traditional Chinese medicine, ginger can restore Yang, or hot energy. Tea made from ginger has high levels of vitamin C and amino acids, as well as various trace elements such as calcium, zinc, sodium, phosphorus, and many others. Drinking ginger tea can help with stomach pain, blood circulation and improve food digestion.

Chamomile Tea 

(Pinyin: Gan Ju Cha)

Chamomile is a herb that comes from the daisy-like flowers of the Asteraceae plant family. It has been consumed for centuries as a natural remedy for several health conditions. Many people enjoy chamomile tea as a caffeine-free alternative to black or green tea and for its earthy, somewhat sweet taste. Furthermore, chamomile tea is loaded with antioxidants that may play a role in lowering your risk of several diseases, including heart disease and cancer. Chamomile has properties that may aid sleep and digestion as well.

  • 奶茶的英文是「milk tea」麼?90%的人都說錯了!
    「milk tea」？那樣的表達就真的太TM「中式英語」了。老外，可不一定聽懂你說的是個啥！西部地區都管它叫"boba tea"，音譯就是「波霸奶茶」。美國東部的年輕人管奶茶叫"bubble tea"，「bubble」是氣泡的意思，指的就是奶茶懸在頂部的的「奶茶泡泡」，也指奶茶。如果你是一個「奶茶控」，你可以用「milk tea buff」稱呼自己。

    大家好，歡迎來的餅哥英語的頻道，今天我們分享一個非常有用且地道的表達——not my cup of tea, 這個短語的含義不是指「不是我的茶」，其正確的含義是：not my cup of tea 非…所好；不合…的心意Thanks for inviting me

  • 風靡全球的南非國寶—— Rooibos tea(南非紅茶)
    Rooibos tea在南非荷蘭語(Afrikaans)中是「紅色灌木」的意思，稱之為茶是因為其烘乾與發酵浸泡後的顏色跟紅茶極其相似。被南非人譽為「南非三寶」之一：「黃金、鑽石、Rooibos tea」。
  • 如果red tea不是指紅茶,那麼它是什麼呢?
    紅茶=black tea眾所周知，「black」是「黑色」的意思，可萬萬沒想到，大家所熟知的「紅茶」的英文翻譯卻是「black tea」。於是，以貌取茶的外國人自然而然地就稱呼它為「black tea」了。但是腦子一根筋的歪果仁肯定沒想到，中國居然除了紅茶還有黑茶！那黑茶該怎麼翻譯呢？黑茶=dark tea當外國人看到比紅茶還黑的黑茶時，想必也是有些懵逼的。
  • 「奶茶」的英語是milk tea?看看外國朋友怎麼說
    如果要把「奶茶」翻譯成英文的話，大家第一時間想到的肯定是milk tea，但是milk tea更加偏向於英式奶茶。英國人喝茶的習慣源自於中國，但是喝法卻與中國人不一樣，英國人喜歡在茶中加入糖和牛奶。而在國際上，大家更喜歡用boba和bubble來稱呼奶茶。起因是1980年末到北美洲的華裔新移民仍以「波霸奶茶」作號召，加州地區出現了很多奶茶店。
  • 秋天的第一杯「奶茶」,英文可不是milk tea!那叫什麼?
    肯定是要一杯又一杯，也讓歪果仁為之瘋狂，不過我們叫奶茶，他們可不叫「milk tea」。"奶茶"英文怎麼說？說到「奶茶」，許多人的第一反應就是milk tea，這麼說，語法上是沒錯，但卻不是我們喝的奶茶，milk tea更多的是指milk + tea的英式奶茶。
