PRACTICE For: Bloating

Aged Ripe Pu'er.

The Goal

"Helping post-meal heaviness settle and the middle feel light again."

Traditional Logic

"Think of digestion as a river after a heavy rain. Rich food, stress, and stillness can make the current slow and muddy. Aged Pu'er brings an old, earthy warmth that helps the river move again, carrying heaviness downstream."

The Stack

7g Ripe Pu'er (熟普) ?

Aged, earthy, and warming
150ml Boiling Water ?

Requires full 100°C (212°F)

Why It Works

Pu’er is warm, aged, and descending in feel. In traditional terms, it supports the middle burner and helps stuck heaviness move downward.

Gentle Cautions

Do not drink it on an empty stomach if you are sensitive to tea. Start with a short steep and keep the first cup small.

Steps

Why rinse the leaves first?

Rinse twice with boiling water to wake the aged leaves and soften the first earthy edge.

When is the best time?

Drink 30 minutes after a rich meal, when the center feels heavy and asks for warmth.
