Who is suitable to drink green tea, black tea, dark tea, white tea and oolong tea respectively?

     The six major traditional teas in China differ in their properties due to different production techniques. If you want to drink tea for health benefits, you need to choose the right tea based on your constitution and the tea's properties. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, human constitutions can be divided into hot and cold types, so tea drinking should be chosen based on individual constitution.

     Generally speaking, for people with a hot and dry constitution, it is advisable to choose cool-natured teas, such as those who are accustomed to smoking and drinking, have a heavier body type, or are prone to internal heat. Conversely, for those with a weakened gastrointestinal system or a weaker constitution, that is, those with a deficiency-cold constitution, it is advisable to choose neutral or warm-natured teas. People who often feel internal heat are suitable to drink more green tea or Tie Guan Yin, while those who are prone to diarrhea should drink more oolong tea and Pu'er tea.
