Loquat Leaf Tea (Eriobotrya japonica) — Dried Herbal Tea Granules, 500g Bulk Loose Leaf

Loquat Leaf Tea (Eriobotrya japonica) is made from the dried leaves of the loquat tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Pí Pá Yè (枇杷叶). For centuries, loquat leaf has been prized as a gentle, lung-clearing herb traditionally used to soothe the throat, ease coughs, and support clear breathing. Its nature is bitter and slightly cold, making it a cooling yet approachable herb for daily tea and seasonal wellness blends. This bulk 500g offering is a dried food-herb tea, naturally containing only the sugars inherent to the botanical itself, with no added sweeteners.

When steeped, the granules release a light amber infusion with a soft, subtly sweet and gently bitter taste, carrying a mild leafy fragrance that blends well with pear, chrysanthemum, or boat sterculia seed.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, loquat leaf is decocted into teas and soups to soothe the throat and support clear breathing, especially during seasonal changes. It is commonly simmered with pear, boat sterculia seed (Pang Da Hai), or rock sugar to make a comforting household drink, and is also brewed alone as a light daily tea. In TCM food-therapy tradition, it is often paired with mulberry leaf, chrysanthemum, or honey-fried preparations for gentle lung and throat support.
