Tieguanyin is suitable for people who are over 60 because it has a high level of fermentation and a sufficient amount of charcoal baking. Tieguanyin, also known as green tea, is an oolong tea, which is semi-fermented and mild.
The tea is mainly produced in Anxi County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, and is mild, not too cold or too hot, and has a golden mean quality. Although it is suitable for the elderly, moderate drinking is preferable and light drinking is preferred, while strong tea should not be consumed.
Furthermore, Anxi Tieguanyin contains significantly more polyphenols, amino acids, vitamins, and other functional elements than other teas; it contains more than 30 kinds of inorganic mineral elements, including potassium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, sodium, zinc, and selenium.
There are more than 70 kinds of aromatic substances in this tea, ten times as many as in other teas. Due to its miraculous and unique “semi-fermentation” tea-making process, this tea has the freshness of green tea, the glycol of black tea, and a floral and fruity fragrance.

There is a need to consider the traditional tea-drinking habits, different preferences, and individual physiques of each region based on the taste of the elderly, but it is important to note that the elderly should drink light tea instead of strong tea.
