Dried Honeysuckle Flower Jin Yin Hua 500g Bulk Loose Herbal Tea Ingredient

Dried Honeysuckle Flower, known in TCM as Jin Yin Hua (金银花), from Lonicera japonica. These dried flower buds are a classic Chinese herbal ingredient, traditionally associated with clearing heat in TCM theory. Slightly cold in nature with a sweet and mildly bitter flavor, they are commonly simmered as a decoction or steeped with chrysanthemum and goji berries. This is a food-grade dried botanical, not a medicine, and should be used as part of a balanced lifestyle.
