Hydration with Chinese Herbal Tea

In TCM, hydration isn't just about water intake — it's about choosing the right warmth and herbs for the season and for your own constitution. A chrysanthemum tea that cools the body in summer would be too cooling to sip through a damp winter.

• Morning: A light, warming tea such as ginger and jujube to gently wake digestion.
• Midday: Chrysanthemum or barley tea to clear heat after a busy morning.
• Evening: Goji berry and red date tea to calm the spirit before rest.
