Hawthorn Ginger Goji Sichuan Pepper Tea

Why people make this tea

Sichuan pepper is one of Nourilo’s favourite kitchen spices — a little with ginger lifts the aroma of braised beef shank, tripe and tendon. What many people don’t realise is that it can also be used in food therapy: it is traditionally said to warm the middle, support the spleen and dispel cold and damp. Paired with blood-moving hawthorn, immune-supporting goji and blood-nourishing red dates, this warming cup is made for the achy shoulders and stiff joints that flare up in cold weather.
