Description
Shi Hu Feng Dou (Dendrobium officinale) is the dried stem of a highly revered food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Shí Hú (石斛), specifically the Tiepi variety cultivated in Huoshan, Anhui. Hand-rolled into the classic Feng Dou spiral form from four-year-old stems, it has been prized for centuries as a yin-nourishing, fluid-generating herb used to moisten dryness, support the stomach, and gently replenish the body. Its nature is slightly cold and its flavor is sweet and faintly salty, making it a mild yet deeply nourishing herb for the Stomach and Kidney channels.

Quality & Sensory
Each stem is carefully rolled and dried to preserve its golden-green to amber hue, dense fibrous texture, and faint grassy-sweet aroma. When decocted or steeped, the Feng Dou slowly unfurls and releases a clear, subtly sweet infusion with a soft, mucilaginous body that coats the throat gently, a hallmark of well-processed Tiepi Shi Hu.
