Tea Myths People Still Believe

There are many persistent myths around tea. Some of them prevent people from enjoying it and choosing the right drink for their state.

Myth 1: The stronger, the better

Strength is not equal to quality. Too long brewing often gives bitterness and flatness instead of depth. Short steeps and multiple infusions usually work better than one long extraction.

Myth 2: All teas stimulate the same way

Different types of tea affect the state differently. White tea and GABA oolong work more gently than sheng puer or dark oolongs. The effect depends on the type, amount and brewing method.

Myth 3: You cannot drink tea in the evening

It depends on the type, amount and your sensitivity. Many people calmly drink white tea or shou puer in the evening and notice no sleep problems. Observing your own reaction is more useful than following general bans.

Myth 4: You need only expensive ware

For the start a gaiwan or a simple teapot is enough. What matters is attention, not the price of the objects. Even in an ordinary mug you can make a conscious pause and notice your state.
