Aroma: Clean highland wild-herb fragrance—clear and airy, never stuffy.

Liquor: Clear golden liquor with a light body; the herbal character is noticeable and may carry a slight bitterness (similar to a light herbal/“cooling” tea style).

First sip: Fresh and gentle, crisp but not heavy.

Aftertaste: A soft returning sweetness with a clean finish—nice after richer meals or as an easy all-day sip.

How to Brew (Recommended)
Amount: 1 teabag per cup
Teaware: Glass cup / mug / gaiwan
Water temperature: 90–95°C (194–203°F)
Water amount: About 350–400 ml per bag
Steep: 3–5 minutes (adjust to taste; avoid steeping too long—over-steeping can make the herbal notes stronger and slightly bitter)
Re-steep: Refill 2–3 times (extend the steeping time slightly each round)
Cold brew: Add to cold water and refrigerate for 4+ hours (optional for a cleaner, lighter cup)

Origin

Our Dongzisu is a wild aromatic herb native to Yunnan’s mountain regions. We source it from high-altitude slopes and forest edges, then keep processing minimal—basic cleaning and gentle drying (sun- or air-dried)—to preserve its natural fragrance.

Rich in aromatic oils, it brews a clear, herbal cup that’s fragrant, slightly bitter, and gently sweet on the finish. Steep briefly for a lighter, fresher taste.

Hear from Our Community

I mostly drink aged puerh so I was kinda skeptical about wild herbs. But wow, the golden color is stunning. It has a super clean, slightly sweet highland taste without any weird bitterness. A great caffeine-free option for my evening tea sessions. Def recommend.

Julian. R. Surprised by the quality!

U can literally see the whole sprigs and tiny purple flowers! It looks just like it was picked from the forest. So soothing and natural. I just throw some in my mug and add hot water. The herbal smell is amazing tbh.

Maeve. C. Pure nature in a cup

This is my new daily hydration hack at work. It looks so pretty standing up in my tall glass next to my laptop lol. Super refreshing, very light taste, and I can refill it like 3 or 4 times. Keeps me going thru endless emails.

Harper. V. Best work companion!!

Since I cant have caffeine after 3 PM, finding this was a blessing. I make a cup every night while reading. The aroma is very calming and it has a soft sweetness. A beautiful, comforting evening ritual. Love it.

Elise. T. Perfect for winding down
