Horny Goat Weed Tea
HORNY GOAT WEED – YANG HERBAL TEA TRADITION
Horny goat weed (epimedium) has been renowned in China for thousands of years, as a yang-supporting herb for use by both men and women. The Chinese call epimedium Yin Yang Huo, which literally translates to horny goat weed. This tea traditionally is made by combining horny goat weed with other revered Chinese herbs, including astragalus, fo-ti, eucommia and licorice root. They were considered helpful herbs for building and sustaining the chi (vital force).
Licorice is added to support the other herbs and is used in small amounts in many Chinese herbal blends. Triple Leaf Tea continues the traditional time-honored way to use these herbs by blending them into this delicious tea, available to you. Enjoy it hot or iced.
