Chinese Herbal Broth, Soup & Tea Mixes Made From Whole, Traceable Herbs
Chinese herbal soup, or tong sui and lo fo tong in many Cantonese households, is one of the oldest forms of everyday preventive care. Instead of taking a pill, you simmer a handful of roots, berries, fungi and dried fruit into a broth and drink it with dinner. Our herbal broth and tea mixes bring that tradition into a modern American kitchen without asking you to shop an herbal pharmacy, weigh raw herbs, or guess at a formula. Every pouch is pre-portioned by a licensed herbalist, sourced from vetted growers, and tested for heavy metals, pesticides and sulfur so you know exactly what is going into the pot.
This collection holds 12 blends split between two formats: slow-simmered herbal broth and soup mixes that turn an ordinary chicken or pork soup into a functional meal, and Chinese herbal tea mixes that steep in minutes for a lighter daily ritual. Both use whole, visible ingredients. Nothing is powdered, extracted, or filled out with flavoring, so you can see the goji berries, red dates, astragalus root, dried yam and longan for yourself.
Herbal Broth & Soup Mixes
Each soup kit is built around a classic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pattern and makes enough broth for a family of four. Add the pouch to 8 to 10 cups of water with your protein of choice, simmer for 90 minutes to 2 hours, and serve. Popular blends include:
- Good Health and Immunity, our best-selling herbal soup kit, built on astragalus and codonopsis to support qi and everyday immune resilience.
- Detoxification (Yeet Hay), a cooling formula for anyone who feels overheated, run down, or "heaty" after too much fried food, alcohol, or stress.
- Stress Relief, a calming blend for tense shoulders, racing thoughts, and restless evenings.
- Women's Health, formulated to nourish blood and support hormonal balance through the monthly cycle.
- Postpartum Recovery (Zuo Yue Zi), built for the traditional sitting-the-month period to help replenish blood and energy after birth.
- Revitalization, a warming, restorative broth for low energy and long weeks.
Chinese Herbal Tea Mixes
Our loose herbal tea mixes are caffeine free and naturally sweet, which makes them an easy swap for afternoon coffee or a nightcap. Steep them in hot water, or cold brew a pitcher for the fridge. Standouts include Goji Berries & Red Dates "Blood Revitalizer" for blood nourishment and tired eyes, Baby Chrysanthemum & Ginseng "Energy Booster" for clean, jitter-free focus, Dried Ginger & Palm Coconut "Beat the Bloat" for digestion and bloating after heavy meals, and Sweet Autumn Cooling (Liang Cha), a traditional cooling tea for dry throats and hot, dry weather.
Not Sure Where to Start?
If you are new to Chinese herbal soups and teas, the Herbal Broth Bundle and Herbal Tea Bundle are the easiest entry point. Each bundle collects several of our most popular blends at a discount so you can find the flavors and effects your body responds to before committing to a single formula. Many customers keep an immunity broth in the pantry for cold season and rotate a tea for daily use.
