We are all well acquainted with different types of teas and their properties. Some varieties soothe, others, on the contrary, tone up, but there are also those that can give a more interesting effect.

Tea intoxication: what is it?

The main difference between this type of intoxication and alcohol or drug intoxication is the clarity of consciousness and complete control of the situation. This state is fundamentally different from intoxication in its classical sense. In addition, after it there is no feeling of a hangover or any weakness.

Myth or reality

Tea intoxication - myth or reality? Many people think that it is impossible to get drunk from tea. This happens for a number of reasons:

• Deceived expectations. Since tea intoxication is so different from other types of it, people do not consider this condition to be anything special.
• Poor quality products. Unfortunately, there are many fakes of Chinese tea on the market now, so it is better to buy it from trusted manufacturers.
• Incorrect brewing. Each type of tea requires a special preparation technique, the violation of which leads to the loss of the properties of the drink.
• Wrong attitude. Before starting the tea ceremony, you need toget ready. If a person is on edge, hungry, aggressive, then he will not get any tea intoxication.

Tea intoxication is not a myth at all, but it has its own characteristics. Only by comprehending all the subtleties of making tea and the ceremony itself, you can achieve the desired state.

Symptoms of drunkenness

When intoxicated with tea, a person experiences the following sensations:

• colors become brighter, everything around becomes more comfortable and calm;
• thinking is clearer, new ideas are emerging, solutions are coming to any disturbing situations;
• a state of calm and positive appears;
• a sense of comfort and confidence in the future.

All these symptoms carry a positive attitude and are not overshadowed by unpleasant consequences. On the contrary, they bring up in a person a sense of harmony within themselves and with the outside world.

Chifir intoxication

There are no subtleties and tricks in its preparation, you just need to prepare a very strong brew. Those who want to get the effect of this mixture drink several glasses. However, it is worth noting that the intoxication of chifire has nothing to do with the pleasure received from quality Chinese tea. On the contrary, it negatively affects he alth - the heartbeat quickens, the person becomes covered with sticky sweat, chills and nausea may occur. Of course, there is no relaxation and harmony after drinking this "drink".

Reasons for drunkenness

The state of pleasure in a person appears due to the content of plant psychostimulants, tianide, alkaloids and guanine in tea. The vessels of the brain expand, fill with oxygen, there is an active production of serotonin, which contributes to positive thinking and gives a burst of energy. At the same time, no negative impact on the body and psyche is observed.

How to get drunk

To get the true pleasure of tea drinking, to reach the state of intoxication, you must follow the following rules:

• choose the right place for the tea ceremony;
• use high quality appliances, china teapot or earthenware that keep warm for a long time;
• the mood should be calm, appropriate for the upcoming tea party;
• each type of tea requires a special method of preparation, you must strictly follow this algorithm;
• tea doesn't have to be expensive, but definitely fresh and needs to be stored properly;
