A Peek Inside

Every Recipe Comes With the Full Picture

No vague "a pinch of this." Every tea recipe includes exact measurements, TCM reasoning, body-type notes, and when not to drink it.

Goji & Chrysanthemum Eye-Bright Tea

☀️ Summer Cooling • Liver Heat

Brew time: 5 minutes

Difficulty: Beginner

Best for: Dry eyes, screen fatigue, irritability

Skip if: You tend to feel cold easily (yang deficiency)

Ingredients: Goji berry 10g, chrysanthemum flower 3g, rock sugar to taste (optional)

TCM reasoning: Goji (gǒu qǐ, 枸杞) nourishes Liver blood and brightens the eyes. Chrysanthemum (jú huā, 菊花) clears Liver heat and disperses wind — the combination is a classic pair from traditional eye-care formulas dating back to the Ming dynasty.

⚠️ If your hands and feet are often cold, reduce chrysanthemum or add 2 slices of ginger to balance the cooling nature.

Ginger & Jujube Morning Warmth

❄️ Winter Warming • Qi & Blood

Brew time: 15 minutes

Difficulty: Beginner

Best for: Cold hands/feet, fatigue, menstrual discomfort with cold sensation

Skip if: You have a red tongue, night sweats, or feel hot easily (yin deficiency with heat)

Ingredients: Fresh ginger 15g (3-4 slices), red dates (dà zǎo) 5 pieces, brown sugar to taste

TCM reasoning: Ginger (shēng jiāng, 生姜) warms the middle burner and dispels cold — Zhang Zhongjing used it in over 70 formulas in the Shanghan Lun (~200 CE). Jujube (dà zǎo, 大枣) tonifies the Spleen and nourishes blood. Together, they gently fuel your body's inner furnace.

The Tradition Behind Every Cup

2,000 Years of Kitchen Medicine,
Distilled Into One Book.

These aren't Pinterest recipes. Every tea formula in this handbook traces its lineage back to classical Chinese medical texts — the same texts that have guided kitchen medicine for over two millennia.

~200 BCE

Huángdì Nèijīng (黄帝内经)

The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon — the foundational text that first articulated "food as medicine." Established the five-flavor framework that still guides TCM dietary therapy today.
~200 CE

Shénnóng Běncǎo Jīng (神农本草经)

The Divine Farmer's Materia Medica — the first systematic herbal encyclopedia, cataloging 365 substances with their nature, flavor, and therapeutic uses.
~200 CE

Shānghán Lùn (伤寒论)

Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Cold Damage — the clinical masterpiece that established pattern differentiation. Many tea formulas in this handbook adapt his principles to the kitchen.
1578

Běncǎo Gāngmù (本草纲目)

Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica — the monumental encyclopedia documenting 1,892 medicinal substances. The definitive reference for ingredient properties.

"The superior physician treats disease before it arises. Diet is the first medicine."
— Huángdì Nèijīng, ~200 BCE

What's Different About This Handbook

Most tea recipe books tell you what to drink. This one tells you who should drink it — and who shouldn't.

— The Body-Type Approach

You don't just get recipes. You get the TCM logic behind every pairing — so you can improvise your own blends later.

— Teach, Don't Just Tell

Every measurement is in grams, not 'a pinch' or 'to taste.' Because precision matters when you're new to herbal brewing.

— No Guesswork

Each recipe includes when to skip it. Because in TCM, knowing what not to take is as important as knowing what to take.

— Safety First

Questions You Might Have

FAQ

Do I need exotic ingredients?

Most recipes use ingredients found in well-stocked grocery stores or Asian markets: goji berries, red dates, ginger, chrysanthemum, licorice root. A few specialty herbs may require an online TCM herb shop — we include sourcing notes for every ingredient.

Is this safe during pregnancy?

Many herbs traditionally used in TCM are not recommended during pregnancy. Each recipe includes contraindication notes. Always consult your healthcare provider. This handbook is not medical advice.

What if I don't know my body type?

The handbook includes a simple body-type reference guide to help you identify your constitution (cold, hot, damp, dry, or mixed patterns). You'll learn to read your body's signals and choose teas accordingly. For a detailed assessment, consider a TCM dietary consultation.

Isn't this just "detox tea"?

No. TCM doesn't believe in aggressive detox protocols that shock the system. These teas support your body's natural processes gently over time — the way a healthy diet does. No laxatives, no starvation, no "cleanse" marketing.

Can I drink these teas every day?

Many of them, yes — especially the mild, food-grade formulas. Some are seasonal or situational (winter warming blends, summer cooling teas). Each recipe includes guidance on frequency and when to take breaks.

What if I don't like it?

Gumroad offers a standard refund policy. If the handbook doesn't meet your expectations, you can request a refund through the platform.
