Freeze-Dried Lemon Slices (Citrus limon) — Anyue Lemon Fruit Pieces for Cold Brew Tea

Freeze-Dried Lemon Slices (Citrus limon) are the dried fruit slices of a beloved food-herb botanical known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Níng Méng (柠檬). Sourced from Anyue, Sichuan — one of China's most celebrated lemon-growing regions — these unsweetened slices are gently freeze-dried to preserve their bright golden color, tangy aroma, and delicate citrus oils. Its nature is sour, slightly cool, and refreshing, making it a light yet invigorating fruit herb traditionally used to awaken the palate, harmonize the Stomach, and support the free flow of qi.
