Ophiopogon Goji Lotus Plumule Tea

Why people make this tea

Modern city life brings a particular kind of stress: not always physical exhaustion, but a restless, unsettled quality — trouble falling asleep, an irritable undercurrent, a sense of heat that seems to come from nowhere. Traditional Cantonese food therapy has a term for this state and a simple remedy for it. This three-ingredient tea — ophiopogon root, goji berries, and lotus seed embryo — is one of the gentlest ways to address that restless, overheated feeling. Nourilo recommends it especially in summer, when the heat outside can amplify the heat within.
