Wampee Leaf, Ginger and Brown Sugar Tea

Why people make this tea

Fresh wampee leaves — the aromatic leaves of the wampee fruit tree (Clausena lansium) — are a seasonal staple in southern Chinese wellness tradition, often appearing alongside pomelo leaves around Chinese New Year. Generations of southern Chinese families have used these leaves in daily wellness rituals, with a long history in folk medicine for supporting resistance to seasonal flu and even meningitis-type fevers. During flu season, Nourilo brews up a big batch of this warming tea for the whole family. The aroma is pleasant and distinctive, and the tea makes for an easy daily preventive measure.
