Fruits Herbs/果實類草本

Sweet, sour, and everything in between — our fruits collection (果實類草本) includes golden flax seed (黄金亚麻子), catalpa fruit (梓实), java brucea fruit (鷘膽子), and prickly ash leaves (花椒碎叶), among others.

Fruit herbs are among the most approachable in the Chinese tradition: enjoy them in teas or simmer them into soups. We select well-dried fruit with natural color.
