Red Gynura, Ginger & Brown Sugar Tea

Why people make this tea

Red gynura (hong bei cai, Gynura bicolor) is a leafy vegetable common in markets across southern China and Southeast Asia. Despite sometimes being sold under the name “zibeitian kui,” it is botanically distinct — it has no sour flavour, and its tender leaves carry a subtle, pleasant fragrance. In folk food therapy, it has long been prized for its iron content and is associated with supporting healthy blood levels and easing menstrual pain. Nourilo combines it with warming ginger and brown sugar to create a tea that is as beautiful in colour as it is simple to prepare.
