Description

Shi Di (Diospyros kaki) is the dried calyx of the persimmon fruit, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Shì Dì (柿蒂). Also called Persimmon Calyx or Shi Qian, this humble food herb has been prized for centuries as a qi-regulating, stomach-harmonizing botanical used in teas and decoctions. Its nature is bitter, astringent, and neutral, making it a gentle yet focused herb for descending rebellious qi and settling the middle burner.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully sun-dried to preserve its brownish-green color, leathery texture, and faint earthy aroma. When decocted, the calyces release a mild, slightly astringent infusion with a subtle woody note, blending well with other herbs without overpowering the brew.
