For centuries, Ju Hong has been prized as a qi-regulating, phlegm-transforming, and throat-soothing herb, traditionally used to ease coughs, clear chest congestion, and harmonize the Stomach.

Quality & Sensory
Each batch is sun-dried to preserve its warm amber-to-russet color, fine downy surface, and dense, leathery texture. The dried peel carries a bright, citrus-forward aroma with faint honeyed and bitter-orange notes. When brewed or simmered, it yields a golden infusion with a warm, gently bitter, and lingering sweet aftertaste that opens the chest and refreshes the palate.
