Cordyceps and South Jujube Rice Wine

Why people make this wine

Nourilo came across some genuine Tibetan cordyceps brought back by a relative and decided to make the most of them by preparing a tonic wine. Cordyceps is one of the most revered ingredients in traditional Chinese food therapy — valued for its dual action on both yin and yang, making it unusual among tonics that usually lean one way or the other. Paired with south jujube, which is prized for nourishing the blood, calming the spirit, and supporting the stomach and lungs, this slowly infused wine is traditionally considered a gentle, cumulative way to strengthen the whole body. You take only a small amount each day, and it keeps building over time.
