So, I have been to China quite a bit the last 2 years and I always take Bourbon as a gift to my Team over there. They give the gift of Tea so I have a bunch of Tea stored up next to the Bourbon in the Cabinet.

So this week, the Missus and I had our 20th Wedding Anniversary and the Traditional Gift is China. She is not one for fancy eating plates; so I went with a Traditional Chinese Tea Set.

I can remember feeling very good during my Travels in China and one of our Board Members mentioned that it was probably the fresh food and Drinking the Tea as I did not have access to Cokes and Other Soft Drinks.

So, my wife and Daughter started making Tea every night this week. I will have to admit, that after a few days, I have more energy, less anxiety and a general sense of calm.

I don't know if there is much too it, but I was wondering if you guys (Fishgutzy) drink Traditional Chinese Tea and have felt the same effects?

The Chinese still utilize much of their homeopathic and herbal knowledge gained over the millennia that Europeans and Westerners have forgotten or shied away from in favor of over the counter or prescription pharmaceuticals. A decent portion of the molecules and compounds that make up API (active pharmaceutical ingredients) are naturally occurring so there is some science and validity behind your observations.

They were the first to create "Pills" and even now when you go into a Pharmacy in China there are the Natural, Homeopathic Section and the Pharmaceutical Section. I am thinking there are true benefits; but, I just trying to invalidate a possible Placebo Effect. :)
 
I just ate Chinese food and I feel horrible. I don't know if there's a correlation or causation
