In compendium of Materia Medica, tea is called “bitter taste, sweet taste, cold nature, non-toxic”, while traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that “sweet is the tonic, bitter is the purgative”;. Tea tastes bitter and sweet, so it has both tonic and purgative effects. It is a good medicine with bitter and cold nature and can clear away heat and detoxification at the same time.
