Since ancient times, Chinese people have been pursuing health and wellness, and tea therapy is one of the best way to maintain them. Tea therapy aims to use tea as a substitute of Chinese medicine, to prevent the disease and stay in health. Tea is considered to be China's hometown, and many Chinese people will get a cup of tea every morning. There are many types of tea in China, and each type of tea has different properties. Which kind of tea is more suitable for which kind of body, this is the focus of this paper, and also the main direction and goal of this paper. This paper consists of four sections. The first section is a brief introduction to tea therapy. It briefly describes the history and development of tea therapy, the classification of tea therapy, the reason why tea could be therapeutic, the division and origin of nine constitutions proposed by Chinese medicine. The last part of the first section will explain the selection of the source texts. The second section and the third section of the paper present the translation from Chinese to Italian of two practical books regarding tea therapy. These two tea therapy books have different focuses, which help readers to understand tea therapy from multiple perspectives. At the same time, it is hoped to bring more knowledge of Chinese medicine and tea therapy to Italian readers through the translation. The fourth section consists of an analysis of the source texts, the main problems and difficulties faced during the translation process and the techniques and solutions adopted in order to produce the final Italian texts. As part of this analysis, a glossary of the technical terms that can be found in the source text is included.
