Most regions in the Northern Hemisphere experience high temperatures during summer, especially in North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula where desert coverage is high. During the day, they must endure the scorching sun, and even if there is wind at night, it cannot conceal the heat brought by summer. At this time, it is very suitable to have a cup of green tea. Mint tea is very popular in the Maghreb region of Africa and can be added to ice cubes in summer. The main ingredient of mint tea is green tea (Chunmee tea or gunpowder tea).
Green tea contains tea polyphenols and caffeine, which can stimulate gastric juice secretion and help break down greasy foods. It is suitable for pairing with heavy flavored foods such as summer barbecues. Caffeine in tea is a natural alkaloid that gives tea a unique flavor and has multiple positive effects on human health. In addition, tea polyphenols and caffeine can promote sweat evaporation and heat dissipation, help lower body temperature, and alleviate discomfort caused by summer heat. Therefore, it is very suitable for drinking in hot summer.
