Description
Ji Xue Teng (Spatholobus suberectus) is the dried stem and vine of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Jī Xuè Téng (鸡血藤), literally "Chicken Blood Vine." For centuries, Ji Xue Teng has been prized as a blood-invigorating, collateral-unblocking herb, traditionally used to support smooth movement of blood, ease stiffness of the limbs, and nourish the sinews. Its nature is warm and sweet-bitter, making it a gentle yet deeply nourishing herb for activating blood and freeing the collaterals. This wild-harvested, naturally sun-dried vine from Guangxi is offered as a clean, sulfur-free food herb suitable for tea, water infusions, and traditional wine soaking.

Quality & Sensory
Each batch is naturally sun-dried to preserve the vine's reddish-brown hue, firm woody texture, and faint resinous aroma. The cut sections show a characteristic reddish inner grain. When decocted or steeped, Ji Xue Teng yields a warm, subtly sweet and slightly bitter infusion with a deep amber-red color, releasing an earthy, woody fragrance that deepens with longer simmering.
