Prepared Rehmannia, Polygonatum and Goji Berry Tea

Why people make this tea

That dry, slightly bitter taste in the mouth — especially noticeable in the evenings — is something many busy, overworked people recognise. It can come from too many late nights, too much tobacco or alcohol, or simply running the body on empty for too long. Beyond lifestyle factors, it can also relate to oral health issues such as gum inflammation or a shortage of vitamin B2 (found in foods like animal liver, fish, seaweed, eggs, and dark leafy vegetables). This simple three-herb tea has a long tradition in Chinese food therapy as a gentle way to nourish yin and blood, and to support the liver and kidneys when they are depleted by fatigue and poor sleep.
