Wuzhimaotao Poria Herbal Tea (Five-Finger Peach Root & Poria Blend) — 20 Pyramid Tea Bags

Wuzhimaotao Poria Herbal Tea is a blended botanical tea built around Wǔ Zhǐ Máo Táo (五指毛桃, the root of Ficus hirta, often called Five-Finger Peach Root) and Fú Líng (茯苓, Poria cocos), two deeply respected food-herb ingredients in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The blend is rounded out with tangerine peel, red jujube, adzuki bean, coix seed, fox nut, and tartary buckwheat, then sealed into individual 8 g pyramid bags. Its nature is gentle and balanced — mildly sweet, slightly warming, and easy to drink — making it a soothing daily cup for damp, heavy, or sluggish-feeling days.

Quality & Sensory

Each pyramid bag holds a coarse-cut blend of pale cream Poria pieces, fibrous Wuzhimaotao root, reddish jujube slices, small adzuki and coix seeds, and golden tartary buckwheat. The dry blend carries a soft, earthy aroma with a faint citrus lift from the tangerine peel. Once steeped in hot water, the liquor turns a warm amber-gold, releasing a rounded, gently sweet taste with a light nutty and herbal finish — smooth enough to sip plain, and pleasant with a slice of jujube or a few goji berries added.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Wuzhimaotao and Poria are simmered together in soups and daily decoctions, especially through spring and the long damp days of the plum-rain season. Wuzhimaotao is traditionally described as sweet and neutral, entering the Spleen and Lung channels, where it is used to support qi, ease dampness, and gently strengthen the middle. Poria is sweet, bland, and neutral, entering the Heart, Spleen, and Kidney channels, and is one of the most beloved herbs for calming the spirit and supporting fluid balance. Paired with tangerine peel, jujube, adzuki bean, coix seed, fox nut, and tartary buckwheat, this blend follows the classic southern Chinese home habit of brewing a warm, lightly sweet pot of herbs to accompany meals, family gatherings, and quiet evenings.
