Subtle Sensation

This is tea medicine. In Taoist herbalism, ginseng is a very important, powerful tonic herb used to replenish the life force or Qi throughout the body. Not only does this tea have ginseng flavors and aroma, but it works deeply to restore energy, balancing yin and yang. It’s not a stimulating tea, but rather works on the deeper reserves of vital energy. Flavors of creamy milk, astragalus root, ginseng and damp earth give rise to a superbly balanced medicinal tea that you can feel immediately upon drinking.   The name “subtle sensation” speaks to the strong Qi of the tea. Practicing equanimity and simply observing the subtle sensations strengthens our equipoise amidst the impermanent changes in life, a central practice in self-cultivation.   "Ginseng" Loose Leaf Shou Puerh - Late 1980's Hong Kong Wet Stored
