Goji Berry Tea
What are goji berries?
Goji berries (also referred to as wolfberries) are a type of berry grown in certain areas of China, Mongolia, and Tibet. They have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and are packed with powerful health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, this nutritionally-dense berry is known to promote eyesight, balance hormonal systems, boost the immune system, improve circulation and protect the liver. Goji berries look similar to small raisins, but are orange-red and more bitter. They are eaten alone, in cooked form, or steeped as a delicious tea.
Our goji berries are perfectly dried when fresh. In addition, we've only sourced berries in the best size for an optimal infusion.
