American Ginseng Slices (Panax quinquefolius) — 100g Jar of Soft Large-Cut Hua Qi Shen

American Ginseng Slices (Panax quinquefolius) are the dried root slices of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Xī Yáng Shēn (西洋参), also called Huā Qí Shēn (花旗参). For centuries, American Ginseng has been prized as a gentle, qi-nourishing, and yin-supporting herb, used to replenish vitality, clear deficiency heat, and promote fluid production. Its nature is sweet, slightly bitter, and cool, making it a mild yet profoundly balancing herb for nourishing the Lung and Stomach while soothing the spirit. This jar contains 100g of large, soft-textured slices, dried without sulfur and ready to eat or brew.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully sliced and dried to preserve its pale ivory to light tan color, smooth texture, and mild, earthy-sweet aroma. The large slices feel soft and slightly flexible rather than brittle. When chewed, they offer a gentle sweetness with a faint bitterness that slowly turns to a lingering, refreshing aftertaste. Brewed or decocted, they yield a light golden infusion with a clean, subtly sweet flavor and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel.

It is a common ingredient in gentle tonic formulas, where it pairs with ingredients like goji berry, jujube, and lily bulb. As a tea, it is brewed alone or blended with chrysanthemum and wolfberry for a light, mildly sweet infusion that is often enjoyed in the afternoon.
