茶之為用，味至寒，為飲最宜精行儉德之人，若熱渴、凝悶、腦疼、目澀、四肢煩、百節不舒，聊四五啜，與醍醐、甘露抗衡也。采不時，造不精，雜以卉，莽飲之成疾，茶為累也。亦猶人參，上者生上黨，中者生百濟、新羅，下者生高麗。有生澤州、易州、幽州、檀州者，為藥無效，況非此者！設服薺苨，使六疾不瘳。知人參為累，則茶累盡矣。
——《茶經》原文
According to Chinese medicine, the property of tea is very cold. It is a great drink for those practitioners of the Tao in their spiritual cultivation. It alleviates discomfort when one feels thirsty and hot, congestion in the chest, headaches, dry eyes, weakness in the limbs and aching joints. It also relieves constipation and other digestive issues. As little as four to five sips of tea works as fine as ambrosia, the elixir of life. Its liquor is like the sweetest dew of Heaven. However, drinking tea made with leaves that were picked at the improper time, out of harmony with Nature, leaves that were not processed well, or tea adulterated with other plants or herbs can eventually lead to illness. Similar to ginseng, the potency of tea grown in different regions is different. The best ginseng is grown in Shangdang, the second grade is grown in Baekje and Silla, which the lowest grade is grown in Goguryeo. Ginseng grown in the Zezhour, Yizhou, Youzhou and Tanzhou areas of China has no medicinal potency at all, not to mention other ginseng. If one unfortunately takes ladybell, which bears a strong resemblance to ginseng, it could even cause an incurable disease! Understanding how different kinds of ginseng have different effects, you can appreciate how diverse the affects of different kinds of tea are.

為什麼紅茶是偏甜 高山烏龍有甘甜中存花香 綠茶是清甜微澀 ？ 茶類的加工方法決定了茶性的寒中温之別，透過自己在家焙茶，重塑茶香也去茶寒性之累，寧神醒腦，不墮昏沉，不傷身體，喝出禪味來。
Why is black tea sweet, mountain oolong sweet and floral, and green tea sweet and slightly astringent? The processing method of tea determines the difference between cold and warm nature of tea. By roasting tea at home, you can reshape the aroma of tea and remove the tea's cold nature. It can calm and refresh the mind, avoid falling into drowsiness, not harm the body, and brings the taste of Zen.
