Hawthorn Red Date Tangerine Peel Tea Slices Shan Zha Hong Zao Chen Pi Loose Herbal Blend for Autumn Winter Brewing 1000g 3 Jars

Hawthorn Red Date Tangerine Peel Tea Slices, known in TCM as Shan Zha (山楂), Hong Zao (红枣), and Chen Pi (陈皮), combine Crataegus pinnatifida fruit, Ziziphus jujuba fruit, and dried Citrus reticulata peel in a convenient sliced loose blend. In TCM theory, hawthorn is sour-sweet and slightly warm, red dates are sweet and warm, and aged tangerine peel is pungent-bitter and warm, traditionally associated with the spleen and stomach channels. This caffeine-free blend is traditionally used for daily seasonal brewing and is easy to steep in hot water.
