American Ginseng, Longan and Sour Date Seed Tea

Why people make this tea

Studies suggest a striking proportion of Hong Kong residents experience some degree of nervous exhaustion — and the pattern is familiar well beyond that city. Persistent emotional strain, whether it shows up as inexplicable irritability, gnawing anxiety, difficulty switching off, or lying awake at 2 a.m. staring at the ceiling, has a way of wearing people down quietly over months or years.

Traditional Chinese food therapy has long recognised a pattern where overwork depletes the “heart-qi” and “blood,” leading to exactly these kinds of symptoms — a restless, under-nourished mind-body system. This tea is Nourilo’s practical answer for everyday support: three gentle ingredients that can be steeped together in minutes, with a drizzle of honey to finish.
