4 Recommended Teas to Drink on an Empty Stomach: A Fragrant Habit to Start Your Morning

"The morning has dawned, the most important time to wake up your body's senses! Hello, this is Beatrice_JiEun. 

How we start our first morning habit often determines our energy levels for the entire day. Especially on an empty stomach, choosing a tea that gently protects the stomach lining while boosting metabolism can be a small but powerful gift for your health. Today, I’d like to introduce four teas that are perfect for enjoying on an empty stomach to start your day with a refreshingly fragrant habit."

🍵 4 Recommended Teas to Drink on an Empty Stomach in the Morning

1. Cabbage Tea (Protecting Stomach Health)

It is highly recommended for those with a sensitive stomach or who experience morning heartburn. Vitamin U, which is abundant in cabbage, is exceptional for protecting and regenerating the stomach lining.

  • Benefits: Gastritis prevention, improvement of indigestion, and fiber supplementation.

  • Tip: Warmly brewed tea is better than raw cabbage juice for dispelling the morning chill.

2. Ginger Tea (Body Temperature Elevation & Immunity)


If your body feels cold and your digestion sluggish in the morning, ginger tea is an excellent choice. The 'gingerol' component in ginger promotes blood circulation, raising body temperature and boosting immunity.

  • Benefits: Activation of metabolism, antibacterial action (oral health), and stimulation of digestive juice secretion.

  • Caution: Since it aids gastric acid secretion, it is recommended to drink it very diluted if you have a stomach ulcer.

3. Peppermint Tea (Clearing the Mind & Promoting Digestion)


It is perfect for those who want to wake up in the morning without caffeine. The menthol component clears the mind and reduces abdominal bloating by removing gas from the intestines.

  • Benefits: Improved concentration, relief of intestinal cramps, and removal of bad breath.

  • Tip: Thanks to its refreshing scent, it is also effective for a mood change.

4. Rooibos Tea (Antioxidant and Mineral Supply)


  • It is a tea that is completely caffeine-free and rich in antioxidants, making it safe even for pregnant women to enjoy. Being high in minerals, it is ideal for replenishing the fluids and nutrients lost overnight.

    • Benefits: Elimination of free radicals (anti-aging), stress relief, and skin health.

    • Advantages: Since it has very little astringency, it is comfortable on the stomach even when consumed on an empty stomach.

    💡 Tips for Drinking More Healthily

    • Start with Lukewarm Water: Before drinking tea, it is recommended to first rinse your mouth and gently wake up your stomach with a glass of lukewarm plain water.


    • Optimal Temperature: Since extremely hot tea can irritate the esophageal lining, a warm temperature below 60°C is most appropriate.

    • Caution with Green and Black Tea: These contain catechins and caffeine, which can irritate the stomach lining and cause heartburn if consumed on an empty stomach. If you have a sensitive stomach, it is recommended to enjoy them after a meal.



  • "I hope you start your morning by healthily awakening your body and mind with a warm cup of the tea introduced today. I am cheering for your vibrant day!"

    Sincerely, Beatrice_JiEun
