Red dates, wolfberries, mulberries and ginsengOne bag, hot water, three minutes.
How it tastes
Mellow and lightly sweet rather than bitter or grassy. The red dates do most of that — they are what makes it taste closer to a fruit tea than a herbal one. Underneath there is the mulberry, and then the ginseng, which arrives last and is the only part that tastes like a root. If you have avoided herbal teas because they taste like a hedge, this is not that.
When people drink it
- Coffee at four in the afternoon. Then lying awake at one.
- A herbal tea that tastes like a hedge. It sits in the cupboard.
- Loose leaf and a strainer. Two more things to wash.
- Nothing at all, and then the biscuits.
The evening cup, mostly.

Red dates. Wolfberries. Mulberries. Ginseng. It is an eight-treasures blend, the style of tea that has been drunk in China for a very long time and is still sold on every corner there. Twenty bags to a box, each one wrapped on its own.
