Tea Brewing Steps:

• Simply heat up water to approximately 175 degrees. Do not boil the water, as boiling water removes oxygen. We cannot drink boiled water anyway.
• Empty the entire contents of a tea sachet, into a tea cup, and pour over it the hot water. Teabags and loose-leaf teas must be removed from the water, in 3-5 minutes, after steeping. Delaying removal of tea leaves/teabag causes the tea to release tanins, which makes it taste bitter. Do not remove 8-Treasure Tea sachet ingredients*.
• All teas can be recycled 1- to 2-more times.

Please Note:  *All of the flower parts in the 8-Treasure Teas, are entirely edible. If you don’t enjoy navigating around the nutritious ingredients in your teacup, you may prefer to drink the 8-Treasure Teas from a straw–ENJOY!

Boat Sterculia Seed (Sterculia scaphigera) :: Reference Link A plant of Burma and Malay. The seeds when macerated in water swell into a large, gelatinous mass. This jelly is valued by the Siamese and Chinese, who sweeten it and use it as a delicacy.

Camelia Flower :: Reference Link The leaves have been used in traditional Chinese medicine and other medical systems to treat asthma (functioning as a bronchodilator), angina pectoris, peripheral vascular disease, and coronary artery disease.

Tea extracts have become a field of interest, due to their notional antibacterial activity. The preservation of processed organic food and the treatment of persistent bacterial infections are particularly being investigated.

Green tea leaves and extracts have shown to be effective against bacteria responsible for bad breath.

The tea component epicatechin gallate is being researched because in vitro experiments showed it can reverse methicillin resistance in bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus. If confirmed, this means the combined intake of a tea extract containing this component might also enhance the effectiveness of methicillin treatment against some resistant bacteria in vivo.

Chinese Wolfberry / Goji Berry :: Reference Link The Chinese wolfberry also is known as the goji berry, and according to “The Herbal Medicine-Makers Handbook,” is one of the most nutritionally dense plants on the planet. Chinese wolfberry contains many vitamins, minerals, proteins, essential and nonessential amino acids and fats. Chinese wolfberry has many purported health benefits, but clinical research does not support all of them.
Traditional Uses

The Chinese have used the Chinese wolfberry as an herbal supplement for thousands of years. According to “The Herbal Medicine-Makers Handbook,” Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners believe that Chinese wolfberry has a balancing effect on the chi because the berry does not warm or cool. Traditional Chinese uses of the berry include improvement of eyesight, kidneys, liver, blood and lungs. Additionally, many Chinese practitioners claim the berry can prolong life. Currently available clinical evidence does not support these traditional uses of the Chinese wolfberry.

The wolfberry contains vitamins A, B-1, B-2, B-5, C and E. Additionally, the Chinese wolfberry has protein, essential fatty acids including polyunsaturated fats, and carbohydrates. The carbohydrates in this berry are complex carbohydrates essential for sustainable energy. Further, the berry offers polysaccharides and dietary fiber. The minerals available in Chinese wolfberry include iron, phosphorus, copper, calcium, germanium, manganese, magnesium and zinc.

Haw Berry :: Reference Link Haw flakes are Chinese sweets made from the fruit of the Chinese hawthorn. The dark pink candy is usually formed into discs one millimeter thick. Some Chinese people take the flakes with bitter Chinese herbal medicine.

Hawthorn berries are often supplied simply dried, but a word of warning, they are extremely hard (a bit like peppercorns) so, if you want to make some hawthorn infusion you are advised to crush them first. Dry extracts of the hawthorn are also formed into capsules or tablets. Hawthorn leaves and flowers are sometimes made into liquid extracts.

Scientific evidence has proved that the hawthorn flower and leaf can be used safely for the treatment of mild forms of heart failure. The hawthorns compounds are actually flavonids (oligomeric procyanidins) which are responsible for any cardiac action which is attributed to the hawthorn plant.

Honeysuckle Flower :: Reference Link In Traditional Chinese medicine, honeysuckle flowers are among the important herbs for clearing heat and relieving toxicity. This herb relieves “fire toxicity” manifesting itself as hot, painful sores or swellings of the eyes, throat, or breast. It expels “wind-heat” manifesting itself as sore throat or headache after explore to cold. And it treats “damp heat” manifesting itself as bladder infection. Modern laboratory research has confirmed that the flowers have an inhibitory effect on the bacteria that cause salmonella, staph, strep, pseudomonas, and tuberculosis infections. Honeysuckle flowers act as natural antihistamine, although they are more useful for treating rashes and inflammation than for treating coughing and sneezing. Some Japanese health food products include honeysuckle for treating bloating, nausea, and vomiting caused by hepatitis C.

Medlar Pome Fruit :: Reference Link One uncommon fruit is medlar (Mespilus germanica L., Rosaceae, Zone 4), a fruit whose popularity peaked in the Middle Ages in Europe. The tree is naturally small, about eight feet high, with single blossoms that open late enough in spring to usually escape spring frost. Almost all the blossoms set fruit without cross-pollination.

The commercial downside of this fruit has been its appearance, described by one writer as a “crabby-looking, brownish-green, truncated, little spheroid of unsympathetic appearance.” Medlar is a pome fruit,about three inches across, russeted, and with its calyx end flared open.

The fruit is harvested after the leaves drop in autumn, and then must be bletted, or allowed to sit in a cool room until the flesh softens. When readyto eat, the flesh is brown and mushy—not visually appealing but with a delectable flavor akin to old-fashioned applesauce with a dash of spice and wine-y overtones.

Nastirtium :: Reference Link There are many uses for nasturtium tropaeolum from medicinal to cooking. The plants have been used for centuries for healing certain digestive tract disorders as well as general illnesses such as influenza. They are filled with antioxidants, Vitamins A and C and iron as well as folic acid and many other nutrients. The seeds are also filled with iron and Vitamin C and can provide various medicinal uses as well. Many choose to grow the plants simply for their cooking uses. The leaves and flowers can be added to various salads and other dishes to give them a zest of flavor. You can find many recipes online that use nasturtium for flavor. Leaves and flower blooms can be chopped and added to pesto, sauces and spreads for an added burst of flavor.
