Dried Lemon Slices (Citrus limon) — Sun-Dried Fruit Herb for Tea & Water

Dried Lemon Slices (Citrus limon) are the sun-dried fruit slices of a beloved food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Níng Méng (柠檬). For generations, lemon has been prized as a refreshing, qi-moving, and thirst-quenching fruit, used to brighten teas, enliven water, and lift the spirit on warm days. Its nature is sour, slightly cool, and gently astringent, making it a light yet invigorating fruit for harmonizing the Stomach, soothing dryness, and refreshing the senses.
