Green Olive, Golden Monk Fruit, and Dried Snow Pear Tea

Why people make this tea

When Nourilo noticed his throat becoming uncomfortable after eating too much chilli paste and kimchi, his first instinct was to brew this simple, pleasant-tasting tea. In traditional Chinese food therapy, the throat is considered an early checkpoint for respiratory pathogens — keeping it moist and clear is seen as an important daily wellness habit, especially during seasons when viral infections circulate. Green Chinese olives have long been used in Cantonese food therapy to clear throat heat and generate fluids; monk fruit (luo han guo) is one of the sweetest natural ingredients known, beloved for its throat-soothing properties; and dried snow pear adds a light, moistening quality. The three together make a tea that is refreshing, naturally sweet, and genuinely soothing.
