Description
Mu Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex) is the dried root bark of the tree peony, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Mǔ Dān Pí (牡丹皮) and honored as one of the classic blood-cooling, stasis-transforming herbs. Sourced from Anhui, this food-herb agricultural product is carefully stripped and core-removed to yield clean, high-pith-removal bark pieces prized for their clarity and consistency. Its nature is bitter, acrid, and slightly cold, making it a cooling yet gently moving herb traditionally used to clear heat, cool the blood, and invigorate circulation.

Quality & Sensory
Each batch is carefully stripped and core-removed to preserve its pale greyish-brown outer surface and creamy inner bark, with a firm, slightly fibrous texture that snaps cleanly when broken. The dried pieces carry a mild, earthy, faintly sweet aroma. When decocted, they yield a light amber infusion with a subtle bitter-acrid note and a gentle, lingering warmth, releasing their character slowly into soups and teas.
