1. Jujube & Longan Dream Tea
Drink when: You lie awake with a busy mind, wake up tired.
Ingredients: 5 dried jujube dates, 1 tbsp dried longan fruit, 1 tsp goji berries, 2 cups water.
Method: Simmer jujube + longan 10 min. Add goji, steep 3 min. Strain. Drink 1 hour before bed.
💡 Jujube and longan gently nourish the "heart blood" — the TCM anchor that keeps your mind from spinning in circles at night.
2. Lily Bulb & Jujube Calm Tea
Drink when: You feel "wired-tired" — body exhausted, mind racing.
Ingredients: 2 tbsp dried lily bulb, 4 jujube dates, 1 thin slice licorice root, 2½ cups water.
Method: Soak lily bulb 10 min. Simmer all 15 min. Strain. Drink warm in evening.
💡 Lily bulb clears "heart fire" — the TCM term for that restless, overheated mental buzz that won't let you rest.
3. Sour Jujube Seed Tranquility Tea
Drink when: Sleep comes hard, you wake at 3 AM, anxiety hums in the background.
Ingredients: 1 tbsp sour jujube seeds (crushed), 1 tsp goji berries, ¼ tsp licorice, 2 cups water.
Method: Crush seeds gently. Simmer all 15 min. Strain. Drink 30–60 min before bed.
💡 Sour jujube seed (suan zao ren) is TCM's most celebrated sleep herb — non-habit-forming, working with your body's natural calming pathways.
4. Albizia Flower Happiness Tea
Drink when: Sadness lingers, grief feels heavy, you need emotional lifting.
Ingredients: 1 tbsp dried albizia flowers, 1 tsp rose buds, 1 tsp goji berries, 2 cups just-boiled water.
Method: Pour hot water over all. Cover, steep 7–10 min. Edible flowers — leave them in.
💡 Albizia flower ("collective happiness flower") and rose buds gently disperse emotional stagnation — first aid in a cup.
5. Rose & Jujube Heart Tea
Drink when: Stress has tensed your shoulders, you feel emotionally "closed."
Ingredients: 8 dried rose buds, 4 jujube dates, 1 tsp dried hawthorn berries, 2 cups water.
Method: Simmer jujube + hawthorn 5 min. Remove from heat, add rose. Steep 5–7 min.
💡 Rose is TCM's emotional-release herb — it opens what stress closes. Paired with jujube, it unwinds the physical armoring that tension creates.
