Quality & Sensory

Each batch is slowly decocted and reduced until it reaches a glossy, dark amber paste with a thick, honey-like body that holds its shape on the spoon. The aroma is gently herbal and toasted, with the soft nuttiness of Cassia Seed layered over the clean green note of Lotus Leaf. On the palate it is smooth and mildly sweet with a faintly bitter herbal finish, and it dissolves easily in warm water when stirred.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, gao zi pastes are slow-simmered preparations that concentrate the essence of food herbs into a smooth, spoonable form. This Shou Xiang Fei paste follows that tradition, pairing Cassia Seed—long used in Chinese food culture for its gently cooling, downward-moving character—with Lotus Leaf, a classic summer herb associated with freshness and clarity. Traditionally, such pastes are taken by the spoonful in the morning or dissolved in warm water after meals, and are often shared as a seasonal gift during warmer months when lighter fare is favored.
