Ingredients:
Poria (poria mushroom), mulberries, red dates, lily bulbs, double-petal red roses
Introduction:
It helps dispels dampness and strengthens the spleen and stomach (a core TCM benefit—”dampness” refers to an internal imbalance causing heaviness or digestive discomfort; this tea supports healthy digestion and nutrient absorption by toning the spleen and stomach), calms the mind and soothes the nerves (eases mental tension and irritability), improves sleep quality (relieves restlessness to promote deeper, more restful sleep), and supports beauty enhancement (nourishes the skin from within and enhances a healthy, glowing complexion).
Key Terminology Notes:
- Poria & Mulberry Tea: Named after the two primary ingredients (“Poria” and “Mulberry”) for clarity—this follows a common TCM herbal tea naming convention in English, making it easy for audiences to identify the core components. “Tea” specifies it as a herbal infusion (not traditional tea leaves like green or black tea).
- Dispels dampness and strengthens the spleen and stomach: A precise translation of the TCM concept . The term “dampness” is retained (with a brief explanation) because it is a unique TCM concept—referring to a pathological factor that causes symptoms like fatigue, bloating, or skin dullness. A parenthetical note clarifies its meaning for Western audiences, who may not be familiar with TCM’s understanding of “dampness.”
- Beauty enhancement: Continues the consistent, universal term used for in previous tea translations (e.g., Five-Red Tea, Five-Black Tea), ensuring coherence across similar TCM herbal tea products and emphasizing both skin nourishment and complexion improvement.
- Double-petal red roses: Translates literally to highlight the specific variety of rose (distinguished by its layered petals), which is often valued in TCM for its milder, more soothing properties compared to regular roses.
