Ban Lan Gen tea
Excellent in every way !

Great! Thank you I will order more.

Explorative research purchase
The tea was purchased to explore its use in accordance with traditional herbal medicine documentation, it does seem like something that would be of great value in the instance of the common cold turning into sinus issues. A packet was prepared according to instructions just to find out what to expect.. it is bitter, but can be made palatable with agave syrup, or a few slices of candied ginger, as I did here.

It Works For Us!
I was recommended this product by my acupuncturist. He told me to use one packet in hot water 1-2 times a day at the first sign of a cold. He also recommended to make one packet a day for a couple of days if I had even been around someone who had a cold. This really works! Our experience is that, if taken right away, it never lets the cold develop. If starting it after a few days of having a cold, sore throat, etc. it definitely shortens the duration! My husband, my daughter, and my son all use this tea too. Give it a try!

Happy to have found my tea
Great experience! No problems at all. Will continue to purchase from them.
