New! A delicious traditional Chinese medicinal tonic of aged ginger and unrefined black sugar. Made for us by a historic sugarcane mill that dates back to the Qing Dynasty, whose ancient production technique for these ginger tea blocks that was awarded Intangible Cultural Heritage in China.
This recipe contains two ingredients: whole ginger and unrefined black sugar, and is China Green Food Certified, grown without pesticides or chemicals.
Only aged ginger is selected for a spicier taste and greater effects. Ginger tea is a well-known immunity-boosting, inflammation-reducing, and digestion-aiding tonic in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a nourishing drink for everyday consumption, with fat-burning, pain-reducing, and anti-nausea benefits as well.
Unlike white or brown sugar, black sugar is unrefined: it is sugar made by slow-cooking sugarcane juice. It also has a powdery texture, with a deep, complex flavor. Black sugar retains the trace minerals of sugarcane juice including potassium, iron, and calcium. Black sugar is grouped as a “warming” food in Chinese medicine and is widely used therapeutically, especially combined with ginger.
Warm Tonifying Formulas: Ginger and black sugar are often used together in tonifying formulas for their combined ability to warm and invigorate the digestive system, improve circulation, and relieve cold-induced stagnation.
Digestive Health: When combined, they are particularly useful for people with weak digestion due to cold or deficiency, as they work together to enhance digestive function and reduce bloating or discomfort.
