Purple tea Chang Shu - what kind of tea, description

The purple tea Chang Shu is made from the flowers of the evergreen herbaceous creeper clitoris tripartite, which hails from tropical Asia and the mountain valleys of Tibet. Since ancient times, a flower drink has been used as a medicine for many diseases.

It has a mild choleretic effect, which also helps to strengthen the process of splitting fat molecules, causing the effect of weight loss.

How to brew and drink tea to lose weight

In order to not only get healing pleasure from a mysterious drink, but also to really get rid of unnecessary fatty deposits, purple tea for slimming Anchans must be prepared with the preservation of Thai and Tibetan traditions.

What is the temperature at which to make purple tea Chang Shu

Chang Shu is never brewed by filling the flowers with boiling water, otherwise boiling water will simply destroy the healing substances of the plant.

Water temperature should be between 86 - 90ºC. To do this, boil the water for 10 minutes, so that it cools slightly. For the same purpose, some observe the boiling of water, and as soon as the abundance of small bubbles begins to rise from the bottom of the container, this means that the water temperature has reached the desired level.

But any doctor will still recommend boiling water to destroy the possible bacteria in it, and then just cool it a little.

How long does it take to brew a drink

After the flowers are filled with water of the desired temperature, blue tea is allowed to infuse for 3 to 5 minutes, not longer.

Rules for taking slimming tea

How to take Chang Shu purple tea to really lose weight?

Welding Rules:

  • It is unacceptable to follow the advice about the possibility of brewing flowers several times - each time you need to cook a fresh portion from the clitorium.
  • You should drink tea immediately after brewing warm, and not prepare too much of the drink, planning to drink it all day.

As a teapot, it is best to use crockery made of porcelain or glass.

Brewing stages:

  1. Quickly rinse the teapot with boiling water.
  2. Spilling the first. Pour the desired number of flowers into the teapot, fill the volume about 1/3 with water, brought to 85 - 90ºC, and immediately drain it to remove foreign dust particles. The first strait warms the flowers, preparing them for the maximum release of nutrients.
  3. Spilling the second. We make tea by pouring the entire portion of water. For a cup of 200 - 250 ml, 4 to 6 flowers of "butterfly pea" are enough.
  4. After 3-5 minutes, the real Anchan is ready. The maximum daily volume of the drink is not more than 400 - 500 ml.

The optimal course of admission is 2.5 to 3 months, after which it is worth taking a break for 2 to 3 weeks.

The effectiveness of purple slimming tea

Purple tea is considered by nutritionists as a rather effective means of helping to lose a few hated kilograms.

But the drink will show a real result only in combination with a low-calorie diet and at least minimal, but regular, physical activity.

The use of Chang Shu activates all metabolic processes, and although the drink itself is not a fat burner, it acts as a catalyst (accelerator) for the breakdown of fats. With the correct use of blue tea and an optimal diet, a decrease in fat mass will be clearly noticeable after 2 weeks.

To whom the drink is contraindicated

Purple tea is allowed for consumption by very many, but it should be borne in mind that you can not drink the drink:

  • with intolerance to the substances that are in its composition;
  • with allergies to plant components;
  • while waiting for childbirth and during breastfeeding;
  • children under 14 years old (only with the permission of the pediatrician);
  • people with low blood coagulability or taking blood-thinning medications, such as Warfarin.
