Drinking a Cup of Warm Tea in the Morning

Tea has long been known to have a variety of properties. For example, a cup of warm tea is enough to make us "tune in" in the morning.

Or, a similar drink can make us sleep more soundly at night, after tired to work all day.

Tea is also known as a drink that can relieve coughing hard. And, no less useful, tea is also able to give just warmth in the body is cold.

Well, among the many reasons to drink tea, now there is a new excuse that comes through a small study.

A new study conducted in China revealed, drinking tea can help a person improve his creativity.

Could be, a cup of tea is a "panacea" for -for example, an author who runs out of ideas in front of his computer keyboard.

Is a researcher at the Faculty of Psychology and Cognitive Sciences, Peking University, China who tested 50 students, -a average age of about 23 years.

Participants in the study were divided into two groups: one was given a cup of black tea to drink, others were given only one glass of water.

After sipping the drink, the two groups underwent two tests.

In the first test, each of them was asked to design an "interesting and creative" form of building blocks.

Then, on the second task they were asked to create a "cool" name for a new noodle restaurant.

The work of the two groups then received an objective assessment of the other students who were not respondents in this research.

It said the exams were designed to gauge how well the members of both groups were able to come up with new ideas. They are lured to think in a new, different way.

The criteria used in this test, "attractive," "creative," and "cool" may seem somewhat vague.

But the students in the group of tea drinkers apparently were more able to map the assignment.

The group of tea drinkers appeared to be superior in both tests, compared to drinking water groups.

But the next question is what is the content in the tea that allows for the difference in the results?

The obvious answer is that black tea contains caffeine and theanine, a compound capable of improving cognition and improving brain function in general.

But apparently, both caffeine and theanine takes a long time to influence the drinker.

After all, a small cup of tea that people commonly consume does not contain enough caffeine and theanine compounds to be able to effect that much.

Well, in this section the researchers concluded the ability of tea to regulate the mood of the drinker.

The students in the group who drank the tea, according to them, were in a positive mood due to a cup of tea.

In a research report disclosed, this research is intended to see the function of tea on creativity.

In addition, it is also to offer a new way of finding relationships between food and beverage consumption, and increasing human cognition.

Of course, the scope of the research is very small, and not enough to represent the conclusions in the general population.

It would be more interesting if the research was held on a wider scale, and involved more people.

But at least, from here it can be seen the relationship between a cup of warm tea and a person's mood.

Although still the question will arise, can tea really make us good at writing or drawing better?
