Goji Berry, Chrysanthemum & Hawthorn Tea

Why people make this tea

Fatty liver has become one of the most common lifestyle-related conditions in modern cities — driven by sedentary work, irregular eating, excess alcohol, and family history of obesity. Research on goji berries suggests they may help inhibit fat deposition within liver cells and support the regeneration of liver tissue. Chrysanthemum has long been used in Chinese food therapy to soothe tired, irritated eyes and clear heat from the liver. Hawthorn is famous as a digestive aid, known in traditional practice for moving stagnant food, dissolving fat, and gently lowering blood pressure. Together, these three make a tea that is easy to drink daily and grounded in both tradition and modern nutritional interest.

3. Pour in fresh boiling water to fill the pot.

Nourilo’s Tips

This tea has a pleasant, slightly fruity-floral character. Drinking it 4–5 times a week is a good rhythm — not every single day, as it is good practice to let the body do its own work without over-relying on any one remedy. It is perfectly fine served at room temperature, but avoid drinking it ice-cold habitually, as cold drinks weaken the spleen and digestive function over time.
