drinking tea

was suppose to go fishing on sunday, but that morning, my son has got a fever, so end up bring him to see doc and my fishing trip was cancelled.

in the afternoon, was meeting a friend out for some discussion, so we met up in this tea place somewhere in chinatown, and so happen that they are drinking the "kung fu cha", the type of making chinese tea, using the traditional tea set and method.

and through this tea drinking session, i also found out more the advantage of drinking chinese tea. and from the internet, i have found more detail which some of you may like to know more about it.

some info taken from the net "Medically, the tea leaf contains a number of chemicals, of which 20-30% is tannic acid, known for its anti-inflammatory and germicidal properties. It also contains an alkaloid (5%, mainly caffeine), a stimulant for the nerve centre and the process of metabolism. Tea with the aromatics in it may help resolve meat and fat and thus promote digestion. It is, therefore, of special importance to people who live mainly on meat, like many of the ethnic minorities in China."

Tea is also rich in various vitamins and, for smokers, it helps to discharge nicotine out of the system. After wining, strong tea may prove to be a sobering pick-me-up.

so seem like, tea can help to slim down in a certain way, and also help smoker, but of course, not encouraging the smoker to drink tea but try to stop smoking.
