Corn Silk (Zea mays) is the dried silky stigma of the corn plant, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Yù Mǐ Xū (玉米须).

Its nature is sweet, neutral, and mild, making it a light, easygoing herb for everyday brewing. This 20g bottle contains naturally sun-dried corn silk from Anhui, clean and ready to steep.
