Re: Shu Pu'er and Health

Generally shu pu’er is a safe tea for most. However, from your description it seems like you should avoid using it solely as your daily tea, particularly if you do not exercise regularly. However, if your diet involves quite an abundance of grease and meat, you’ll need the pu’er to maintain lower cholesterols. In that case, employ another tea as your regular so you are drinking at least two types of teas of complimentary TCM properties. Baimudan and Dancongs are good options. Use fresher ones if you can find them. In addition to “Litchee” dancong, there is another group that are floral and would drive away the “blockages” more effectively, they are the bouquet ones I discussed in this Tea Guardian article: https://www.teaguardian.com/Tea_Varieties/oolong_phx_bouquet.html
