CLASSICAL HERBAL FORMULAS
Our herbal teas follow the historical source text recipes, instructions and dosage. Many East Asian herbal formulas in common use today were traditionally ground into a coarse powders, similar to a "tea cut" in modern times. They are then either steeped as tea or else simmered for a short time and then drunk as a decoction. SHOP HERBAL TEAS
