Longan, Lotus Seed, Lily Bulb, Black Mulberry and Wheat Berry Tea

Why people make this tea

Anaemia and blood deficiency are surprisingly common, especially among women. Heavy periods are a frequent cause, but crash dieting, restrictive eating, or simply not eating enough iron-rich food can also play a role. The signs can be subtle but telling: a pale or sallow complexion, hair that has lost its lustre and sheds easily, dry skin, brittle nails, breathlessness on exertion, and a general tiredness that doesn’t go away with sleep. During periods, there may be dizziness, headaches, or palpitations. This warming, gently sweet tea addresses these concerns with a group of ingredients that Cantonese food therapy has long used for blood nourishment and calming the nervous system. It is not a replacement for medical treatment of iron-deficiency anaemia, but as a regular wellness tea it is both pleasant and supportive. It is also useful for those with general nervous weakness, forgetfulness, or anxiety.
