FAQs

Quick questions

How is this different from white chrysanthemum wolfberry tea?

White chrysanthemum with wolfberry is a two-herb eye-and-Liver steep. This pot adds Mai Dong and Mu Hu Die for more moisture and orifice soothing. Use the simpler cup when heat is mild; use this when dryness feels deeper.

Can I drink it every day?

Daily cooling teas can weaken the Spleen for some people. Prefer three days a week or short bursts while signs are clear, then pause.
