Liuwei tea
Fohow Liuwei herbal tea — "six flavours": aged pu-erh, astragalus, sage, jiaogulan, chrysanthemum and honeysuckle. One tea bag can be steeped 3–4 times.
Six herbs in one tea bag
Liuwei tea (六味, "six flavours") is made to an old Chinese recipe handed down from generation to generation. It's more than just a herbal blend: its base is aged pu-erh, complemented by five plants that have long been drunk in the TCM tradition to support well-being. The taste is pleasant and mild, so the tea easily becomes an everyday habit.
Six ingredients
- Three-year-aged pu-erh — an aged Chinese tea with a deep flavour. Traditionally drunk after meals for a light feeling in the stomach.
- Astragalus — one of the key roots of TCM; traditionally used to tonify qi.
- Sage — used in Chinese tradition to support the free flow of blood.
- Jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum, "five-leaf ginseng") — a herbaceous vine known in China as the "herb of longevity".
- Chrysanthemum — in TCM it "cools" and brings a feeling of freshness; popular with people whose eyes get tired.
- Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) — a classic ingredient of summer "cooling" teas.

How to use
Prepare the water
Heat the water to 85–90 °C — it doesn't need to be boiling.
Keep the first infusions short
Dip the tea bag in hot water for just a few seconds, until the water takes on colour.
Steep it again
One tea bag can be steeped 3–4 times — each time you can leave it in a little longer.
Drink it with meals
The recommended routine is 2–3 times a day with meals. It's best to drink the last cup before 6 pm.
Frequently asked questions
This is the manufacturer's recommendation: in the first infusions the tea releases its colour and flavour very quickly. A short steep keeps the taste mild and lets you use the bag 3–4 times.
The tea is based on pu-erh, which is invigorating. That's why it's recommended to drink the last cup before 6 pm.
Yes, pu-erh is a tea, so it contains caffeine. Bear this in mind if you're limiting caffeine.
The pack contains 30 tea bags, each steeped 3–4 times. At 2–3 cups a day, one pack lasts about a month or longer.
No. Liuwei tea is a food supplement. It does not replace medical treatment or a varied diet.
