Quality & Sensory
Each tea bag holds a balanced blend of pale golden bamboo cane pieces, ivory-white imperata root, dried pear slices, red jujube, and small cubes of water chestnut. The dry blend carries a light, sweet, grassy aroma with a hint of cooked pear. When brewed, whether cold-soaked or hot-infused, the liquor turns a soft amber-gold and tastes clean and gently sweet, with a smooth, refreshing finish and a faint herbal undertone from the licorice and imperata root.

Traditional Uses
In Cantonese folk herbal practice, bamboo cane and imperata root tea is a beloved sweet-soup (糖水) traditionally simmered in homes and tea houses to refresh the body and ease dryness during warm or dry seasons. Snow pear is added for its gentle, moistening character, while jujube and licorice round out the blend with warmth and sweetness. This modern tea-bag version keeps the same traditional pairing in a convenient cold-brew format, so the classic flavor can be enjoyed without long simmering.
