Read the tea page →The tea knowledge hub
One page per tea,
labels intact.
Each tea page separates three things: what the plant actually is, how the Chinese tradition classified it, and what modern sources say about safety. Brewing numbers included, promises excluded.
Warming Root · Caffeine: None
Ginger 姜 jiāng
Fresh rhizome or dried slice — two different drinks in the traditional ledger.
Read the tea page →Aged Citrus · Caffeine: None on its own
Chenpi (Aged Tangerine Peel) 陈皮 chénpí
Citrus peel that improves for decades — the most quietly collectible ingredient in the Chinese pantry.

Roasted Barley 大麦 dàmài
The toasted everyday cup East Asia agrees on — damai cha, mugicha, boricha.
Read the tea page →Warming Fruit · Caffeine: None

The 'red date' that isn't a date at all — the honeyed half of jiāng zǎo chá.
Read the tea page →Nourishing Berry · Caffeine: None
Goji Berry 枸杞 gǒuqǐ
Ningxia's scarlet berry — steeped, chewed, and quietly specific about medication interactions.

Read the tea page →Scented Tea · Caffeine: Yes — that of its green tea base
Jasmine Tea 茉莉花茶 mòlìhuāchá
Not a flower tisane — green tea taught to remember jasmine, one humid night at a time.
Read the tea page →Fragrant Floral · Caffeine: None
Rose Tea 玫瑰花茶 méiguīhuāchá
China's food-rose in a cup — Pingyin buds, not perfume-industry petals.
Read the tea page →Autumn Floral · Caffeine: None alone; blends with true tea carry the base's
Osmanthus 桂花 guìhuā
Autumn's apricot-scented flower — tiny, fragile, and gone by winter.
Read the tea page →Roasted Grain · Caffeine: None
Tartary Buckwheat 苦荞 kǔqiáo

Read the tea page →How these pages work
Every tea page follows the same structure — a direct answer, the botanical facts, brewing parameters, the traditional framing clearly labeled as tradition, modern cautions clearly labeled as modern, and how to read a label before buying. Where we sell a blend built on a tea, the page says so plainly.
