Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully shade-dried and cut into fine, uniform shreds that preserve the herb's deep green color, tender leafy texture, and fresh, grassy aroma. When brewed, the shreds yield a clear, pale golden-green infusion with a mildly bitter, slightly sweet taste and a clean, refreshing finish that softens on the palate as it cools.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Pu Gong Ying is brewed as a daily tea, simmered into light soups, and added to congee during warm seasons to support the body's natural cooling and cleansing rhythms. It is often paired with chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, or goji berry in seasonal tea blends, and in some regions the tender young leaves are eaten fresh as a spring vegetable. As a tea, it is enjoyed alone for its clean, mildly bitter character or blended for a softer, more rounded cup.
