Nine-Steam Nine-Sun Dried Huang Jing (Polygonatum sibiricum) — Soft Ready-to-Eat Jiuhua Mountain Herbal Tea, 250g

Huang Jing (Polygonatum sibiricum), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Huáng Jīng (黄精), is the processed rhizome of a highly revered food-herb traditionally called the 'Herb of Longevity.' This batch is cultivated in the Jiuhua Mountain region of Anhui and prepared through the classic nine-steam, nine-sun (九蒸九晒) method, which transforms the raw rhizome into a soft, sweet, jet-black delicacy. Its nature is sweet and neutral, making it a gentle, nourishing herb traditionally used to tonify qi and yin, strengthen the Spleen and Lung, and support the Kidney essence.

It is a classic ingredient in autumn and winter nourishment formulas, where it is valued for its ability to tonify without being cloying.
