Peach Gum Tea

A grade Peach Gum Tea!

Peach gum comes in many different grades, ranging from C to AAA. This particular version we've gone with A to keep the price down and make more accessible, along with there not being too much difference between A and AAA.

An extremely well known medicinal gum in China that is found in desserts, skincare, and taken as a tea once strained in water overnight. This gum is not to be taken right away after steeping for 3 mins and steeping overnight is a must! It will become an edible jelly.

Peach Gum is rich in collagen and contains galactose, rhamnose, and amino acids.

Traditionally consumed for skin health, bone health and cardiovascular health.

Brewing

Soak 30 grams of peach gum in water for at least 8 hours, or overnight, until it expands and softens.

Boil the peach gum with 1.5 liters of water and 30 grams of rock sugar (optional) for about 10 minutes, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Add a handful of goji berries (optional) for the last 5 minutes. The mixture should have a slightly thick, syrupy texture.

Let it cool down a bit, then serve warm, or chill it in the refrigerator for a refreshing drink. Optionally, add a slice of lemon or a few pandan leaves for added flavor.

Ingredients

Health Benefits

Supports Skin Hydration and Elasticity
Regular consumption of peach gum, which provides a plant-based polysaccharide similar in function to collagen, may help sustain skin moisture levels and improve elasticity.

Contains Antioxidants
The product also supplies a variety of fruit-derived antioxidants believed to diminish oxidative stress, thereby aiding general health and speeding wound healing in skin and connective tissue.

Traditionally Used for Detoxification
Historically, Chinese medicine has employed peach gum as a supportive ingredient in detoxification formulas, assuming it encourages natural balance within the body.

Gentle on the Digestive System
When brewed into a tea, correctly prepared peach gum swells into a jelly-like consistency that many find soothing to the gut and helpful for overall hydration.

Caffeine-Free and Hydrating
Free of caffeine, peach-gum tea can be sipped at any hour and, particularly when combined with fruits or herbs, adds additional fluid and nutrients to the daily diet.

Cautionary Notes

Use during pregnancy or nursing only with a healthcare professional's consent.

Soaking and thorough cooking are essential; raw or underdamped resin remains tough and difficult to digest.

High doses may still provoke gas or bloating in people with sensitive guts.

Moderation and balance should govern any dietary addition, and those with known sensitivities must proceed cautiously.

Products listed here are intended for adults.

Stop using the product immediately if you notice any negative reactions.
