1, protein and amino acids

The protein content in tea is more than 20%, but most of them are insoluble in water, and only about 3.5% of the protein is soluble in water. The free amino acids in tea account for about 1-5% of the dry weight of tea. There are 28 species that have been found, most of which are amino acids required by the human body.

2, caffeine

The content of caffeine in tea is 2.5-5.0%, and the young leaves are higher than the old leaves. Caffeine has the effect of excitement and refreshment, and also has the effect of diuresis and decomposition of fat. In addition to caffeine, there are small amounts of theophylline and theobromine in it.

3, carbohydrates

Tea contains about 25-30% carbohydrates, but most of them are insoluble in water. Soluble in water is water-soluble free monosaccharides and disaccharides, only about 0.8-4%, so tea is a low-calorie beverage, tea does not cause weight gain.

The polysaccharide compound in tea leaves accounts for more than 20% of the total dry weight, including starch, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, lipopolysaccharide and the like. The complex polysaccharides in tea, such as lipopolysaccharide, have non-specific immune functions to the human body, as well as blood sugar lowering and anti-radiation effects. The content of lipopolysaccharide in tea is about 0.5-1%.4, pigmentThe pigments in tea are divided into two categories: fat-soluble pigments and water-soluble pigments. Lipid pigments include chlorophyll and carotenoids. The chlorophyll content is 0.3-0.8%, and the carotenoid is 0.02-0.1%. They are beneficial to human health. Since most of them are not dissolved in water, they can only be used when eating tea or using tea powder. 

5, organic acidTea contains a variety of organic acids, such as oxalic acid, malic acid, citric acid and so on. By drinking tea, these organic acids are involved in metabolism and maintain body fluid balance.

6, saponinsTea contains saponin, the content is about 0.07%, tea saponin has anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, sterilization and other effects.Complex ingredients such as caffeine, theophylline and theobromine can help gastrointestinal motility, can significantly stimulate gastric acid secretion, and promote gastric motility. Increased gastric acid secretion (and faster gastrointestinal motility) helps the food to digest, giving people a feeling of cellulite or getting hungry faster.

Secondly, Pu-erh tea speeds up emptying, especially raw tea, so that the fat substance does not have too much time to be absorbed and is discharged to the colon. The colon only absorbs some water and vitamin K, and is prepared for discharge into the rectum.
