The benefits and effects of drinking pu'er tea with aged tangerine peel mainly include:
1. Moistening the lungs and strengthening the spleen: Aged tangerine peel has the effect of regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, while pu'er tea can clear heat and promote body fluid production. Together, they help moisturize the lungs, strengthen the spleen, and alleviate symptoms of qi stagnation in the stomach and spleen.
2. Relieving food accumulation and stagnation: This tea can stimulate appetite, relieve stomach bloating, belching, and other issues, aid digestion, and reduce discomfort caused by indigestion.
