Hawthorn Poria Tea Shan Zha Fu Ling Herbal Blend Dried Slices for Daily Infusion 80g

Hawthorn Poria Tea, known in TCM as Shan Zha Fu Ling (山楂茯苓), combines dried hawthorn fruit (Crataegus pinnatifida) with Poria (Poria cocos), a sclerotium traditionally valued in Chinese herbal practice. Hand-selected and pitted, these dried slices are typically brewed as a mild daily infusion. In TCM theory, hawthorn is sour-sweet and associated with the spleen and stomach channels, while Poria is bland-sweet and traditionally linked to dampness support.
