Description
Hua Zhou Ju Hong Slices (Citrus grandis 'Tomentosa') are the dried, naturally sun-cured outer peel of a highly revered traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Jú Hóng (橘红), historically honored as Hua Zhou Ju Hong (化州橘红) from Guangdong's Huazhou region. For centuries, Ju Hong has been prized as a qi-regulating, phlegm-transforming, and Lung-warming herb, used to ease coughs, soothe the throat, and loosen chest congestion.

Quality & Sensory
Each batch is carefully sliced and sun-dried to preserve its deep amber-brown color, dense leathery texture, and rich citrus aroma with faint smoky and honeyed notes. When steeped, the slices release a warm, bittersweet, gently pungent infusion with a lingering citrus peel fragrance, and when simmered in soups they soften and lend a mellow, aromatic depth without overpowering other ingredients.
