Description

These medium-to-large grade berries are freeze-dried to retain their deep purple-black color and natural anthocyanin content. Traditionally associated with nourishing the liver and kidneys and brightening the eyes in TCM theory, they are commonly steeped as a daily herbal or flower-fruit tea.
