Suan Zao Ren Gan Mai Powder is a finely milled herbal drink mix built around Suan Zao Ren (Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa), the revered seed of the wild jujube known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Suān Zǎo Rén (酸枣仁). Blended with Gān Mài (甘麦) — the classic pairing of licorice and wheat — and further enriched with Lotus Seed (Lián Zǐ, 莲子), Rose (Méi Guī Huā, 玫瑰花), Mai Dong (Mài Dōng, 麦冬, Ophiopogon japonicus), and Yu Zhu (Yù Zhú, 玉竹, Polygonatum odoratum), this powder is a modern, convenient expression of a time-honored calming and nourishing formula. Its nature is sweet, neutral, and gently balancing, making it a mild yet deeply comforting blend for daily wellness rituals.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Suan Zao Ren is decocted into soups and teas to calm the spirit and support restful sleep, often paired with licorice and wheat in the classic Gan Mai Da Zao formula. Lotus Seed is traditionally simmered in congee and sweet soups to nourish the heart and settle the mind. Rose is brewed as a gentle floral tea to harmonize qi and lift the mood, while Mai Dong and Yu Zhu are added to soups and tonics to moisten dryness and nourish yin. This powder brings these traditional ingredients together into a convenient daily drink.
