FAQs
Quick questions
Who is this tea for after COVID?
People who catch colds easily after COVID and want a light Yu Ping Feng style steep with Mai Dong. It is not the first kitchen match when strong heatiness and residual post-COVID heat signs lead.
How often should I drink it?
Two to three times a week is the scrape habit. It is food therapy for a thin-resistance pattern, not an everyday tonic for every constitution.
How is this different from Immunity Booster Tea?
This cup uses smaller doses, adds Mai Dong, and steeps 5–10 minutes. Immunity Booster Tea adds Chai Hu and simmers longer. Ask which pot fits your signs.
