In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), health is deeply tied to balance—especially the balance of the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water). This theory doesn’t only apply to food and herbs, but also to tea.
According to the “Five Elements Tea” system developed by Zichen in The Dao of Tea, each type of tea corresponds to one of the Five Elements and targets specific organs through a concept known as “tea qi归经”—meaning the energy of the tea enters specific meridians to regulate organ function.
Black tea calms the liver, disperses internal heat, and helps with sleep and emotional stress. It is best suited for those who suffer from emotional blockages or liver qi stagnation.
🔥 Yellow Tea — Heart & Kidney (Fire & Water)
