Red Bean Job’s Tears Tea (赤小豆芡实红豆薏米茶) — Poria & Coix Herbal Tea Bags

Red Bean Job's Tears Tea (赤小豆芡实红豆薏米茶) is a blended herbal tea bag formula built around Poria (茯苓, Fú Líng), the dried sclerotium of Wolfiporia cocos, together with red adzuki bean, Job's tears, and euryale seed. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this combination is a classic dampness-transforming, spleen-supporting food-herb blend, prized as a gentle daily tea for supporting lightness of body and smooth digestion. Its nature is mild, neutral, and slightly sweet, making it a soothing everyday infusion rather than a harsh or bitter brew.

The dry blend carries a mild, nutty, grain-like aroma with a faint earthy sweetness. When steeped, the liquor turns a soft amber-red, releasing a smooth, lightly toasted grain flavor with a clean, subtly sweet finish and no bitterness.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, this blend follows the long-standing TCM food-therapy tradition of cooking red adzuki bean, Job's tears, and Poria together as a gentle daily decoction or congee. Poria is traditionally associated with the Spleen, Heart, and Kidney channels, where it is used to support the spleen's transforming function and to gently leach out dampness. Adzuki bean and Job's tears are classic dampness-draining food herbs, while euryale seed is traditionally used to support the spleen and stabilize the kidneys. Together they form a mild, food-grade tea that families brew through humid seasons and after rich meals, often paired with ingredients such as tangerine peel, lotus leaf, or barley.
