German Chamomile and Black Goji Berry Tea

Why people make this tea

Black goji berries — rare, deeply pigmented relatives of the familiar red wolfberry — have become one of the most talked-about ingredients in contemporary Chinese food therapy. It takes around ten pounds of fresh black goji berries to yield just one pound of the dried berries, which accounts for their premium value. Paired with German chamomile (considered superior in quality and longevity to the common Chinese variety), this makes a gorgeous, violet-tinted tea that is as pleasant to drink as it is visually striking. The combination supports liver and kidney health, helps with tired or deteriorating eyesight, and promotes the kind of calm that makes it an ideal evening drink.
