Description
Black Goji Berry (Lycium ruthenicum), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Hēi Gǒu Qǐ (黑枸杞), is the dried ripe fruit of a revered food-herb shrub native to the high plateaus of Qinghai. Long prized alongside red goji as a gentle, yin-nourishing berry, black goji has been used in daily teas, soups, and longevity tonics. Its nature is sweet and neutral, making it a mild, food-friendly botanical traditionally associated with nourishing the Liver and Kidney, supporting essence, and brightening the eyes.

Quality & Sensory
Each batch is gently dried to preserve the berries' deep purple-black color, firm wrinkled skin, and subtle sweet-tart aroma. The fruits are plump and uniform in size, with a chewy texture when eaten directly. When steeped in warm water, they slowly release a soft violet-blue hue and a mild, faintly sweet flavor with delicate berry notes, making a gentle everyday infusion.
