Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese practice, hawthorn and tangerine peel are commonly steeped after meals to ease the feeling of fullness, while lotus leaf and cassia seed appear in classic summer infusions. Roselle and dark plum lend a naturally tart flavor reminiscent of sour plum drinks, and chrysanthemum and rose are traditional floral teas for warm seasons. This blend follows that folk custom of combining tart, aromatic, and cooling herbs in one convenient daily infusion.
