Drinking tea is a traditional food culture on the mainland for thousands of years. Moreover, drinking tea is also a way of health maintenance for everyone. As May approaches, the weather heats up rapidly and we are gradually entering the hot and dry summer months. The anger of the friends around me is getting bigger and bigger every day.

For overnight tea can not be drunk? This issue has always been very controversial, in fact, as long as the tea does not deteriorate, it can still be drunk.
