Choose Your Blend Wisely: It's Personal

Core Principle: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) emphasizes treatment based on your body's specific constitution. Before choosing a blend, understand your body type (e.g., Qi-deficient, blood-deficient) and current health condition.

Consult a Professional: If unsure about your constitution, consult a qualified TCM practitioner. Avoid blindly following trendy recipes online—they may not suit your needs.

Example: Those prone to heat may choose chrysanthemum or honeysuckle; those who often feel cold can use longan, red dates, or ginger; for stress or sleep issues, rose buds or mimosa flowers are beneficial.

Select High-Quality Ingredients

Reliable Source: Purchase from reputable herbal shops or brands to ensure herbs are free from sulfur fumigation, mold, and impurities.

Appearance & Smell: Herbs should have natural color, be well-formed, dry, and carry a distinct, pleasant aroma.

Choose the Right Brewing Vessel

• Best Choice: Lidded Ceramic or Glass Cup — Chemically inert, retains heat, perfect for steeping herbs evenly.
• Good Alternative: Thermos Flask — Ideal for tough roots, barks, or berries needing longer brewing. Not suitable for delicate flowers.
• Can Use: Yixing Teapot — Dedicate one pot per tea type to avoid flavor crossover.
• Not Recommended: Metal Cup — May react with herbal compounds, affecting taste and quality.

Method One: Simple Steeping Method (Ideal for flowers, leaves, and delicate herbs)

• • Warm the Cup: Rinse with hot water to clean and preheat, enhancing aroma.
• • Add Herbs: Use 3–10g of dried herbs, or follow your recipe.
• • Rinse & Awaken: Pour a little hot water (85–95°C) to cover herbs, swirl, discard quickly to clean and awaken aroma.
• • Main Brew: Add 300–500ml of hot water, cover with lid.
• • Steep: Let it steep 5–10 minutes to release flavor and benefits.
• • Enjoy: Drink when warm; re-steep 2–3 times until flavor fades.

Method Two: Simmering/Decoction Method (For roots, barks, seeds, and berries)

Best for tough herbs like Astragalus (Huang Qi), Goji Berries (Gou Qi Zi), or Fu Ling.

• • Rinse & Soak: Rinse herbs, soak 20–30 mins in cold water.
• • Bring to a Boil: Heat on high until rolling boil.
• • Simmer Gently: Reduce heat, cover, simmer 15–25 mins.
• • Strain the Tea: Strain and serve warm.
• • Second Brew (Optional): Add water, simmer again, combine both brews for richer flavor.

Water Temperature

• • Flowers & Leaves: 85–95°C — avoid boiling to preserve aroma.
• • Roots, Berries, Seeds: 100°C or simmer to extract nutrients.
• Note: Goji Berries are heat-sensitive; better to add near 70°C at the end.

Steeping Time

• • Aromatic Herbs: ~5 mins is enough; over-steeping dulls aroma.
• • Tonic Herbs: Benefit from longer steeping or simmering.

When & How Often to Drink

• • Timing: Best between meals. Avoid on empty or overly full stomach.
• • Frequency: 1–2 cups/day is ideal. Herbal tea complements, not replaces, water intake.

Safety & Contraindications

• • Know Your Herbs: Be aware of herb properties. Pregnant/nursing women, children, or those with conditions should be cautious.
• • Drug Interactions: Consult a doctor; separate tea and medicine by 1–2 hours.
• • Listen to Your Body: Stop if discomfort occurs and seek professional advice.
• • Do Not Drink Overnight Tea: Always brew fresh; discard tea left for hours or overnight.
