American Ginseng & Dendrobium Gift Set™ — 70 g

Two traditional botanicals. Two distinctive forms. One thoughtful gift inspired by Eastern living.

Discover the quiet beauty of American Ginseng (西洋参) and Dendrobium (Shi Hu / 石斛) in one thoughtfully presented botanical collection.

Sliced American Ginseng Root brings an earthy botanical character with gentle bitterness and subtle sweetness, while dried Dendrobium stems—presented in their distinctive coiled Feng Dou / 枫斗 form—offer a milder, more delicate botanical character.

With a combined net weight of 70 g / 2.47 oz, the two ingredients are packed separately so each botanical can be stored, explored and prepared individually—or brought together when following an appropriate preparation method.

A distinctive alternative to an ordinary tea gift for someone who appreciates traditional Chinese ingredients and slow everyday rituals.

Meet the Two Botanicals

American Ginseng · 西洋参

American Ginseng comes from Panax quinquefolius, a species distinct from Asian Ginseng (Panax ginseng).

In this collection, the root is presented in convenient slices, revealing its naturally pale interior and making individual pieces easy to see and portion.

Flavour Character:
Earthy · Root-like · Gently bitter · Subtly sweet

Its distinctive root character makes American Ginseng interesting for both people beginning to explore traditional botanicals and those already familiar with Chinese ingredient traditions.

Dendrobium · Shi Hu · 石斛

Dendrobium is a botanical ingredient derived from plants of the Dendrobium genus.

In this gift set, the dried stems are presented in compact coils commonly known as Feng Dou / 枫斗.

Compared with the deeper earthy character of American Ginseng, Dendrobium generally offers a gentler botanical presence.

Flavour Character:
Mild · Delicate · Light vegetal · Botanical

Its distinctive coiled form also creates a beautiful visual contrast with the pale slices of American Ginseng.

American Ginseng vs. Dendrobium

American Ginseng

• Botanical root

• Panax quinquefolius

• Presented in dried slices

• Earthy and root-like

• Gently bitter with subtle sweetness

Dendrobium

• Botanical stem

• Derived from the Dendrobium genus

• Presented as coiled Feng Dou / 枫斗

• Mild and delicate

• Light vegetal and botanical character

One is a root. The other is a stem.

Together, they offer an approachable introduction to the variety of forms, textures and flavour characters found within traditional Chinese botanical ingredients.

Because they are separately packed, you can discover each botanical individually.

How to Enjoy

Always follow the preparation directions provided on the product packaging or an appropriate recipe.

Because roots and stems have different structures, recommended quantities and preparation times may vary.

Warm Botanical Preparation

Measure the recommended amount of American Ginseng, Dendrobium or both ingredients according to the product directions.

Place in a suitable cup, teapot or preparation vessel and prepare with water according to the recommended temperature, volume and duration.

Gentle Simmering

The ingredients may also be incorporated into appropriate gently simmered preparations.

Follow the product-specific directions or a recipe intended for American Ginseng, Dendrobium or their combination.

Enjoy Individually

Because the two botanicals are separately packed, you can begin by preparing each ingredient individually.

This makes it easier to become familiar with the distinctive flavour, aroma and character of each botanical.

Enjoy Individually or Together

One of the advantages of this two-ingredient collection is its flexibility.

Explore American Ginseng individually for its earthy, root-like character with gentle bitterness and subtle sweetness.

Explore Dendrobium individually for its milder and more delicate botanical character.

Or prepare American Ginseng + Dendrobium together when following product-specific guidance or an appropriate preparation method intended for the combination.

Separate packaging allows each botanical to retain its individual identity until you choose to bring them together.

More Than an Ordinary Tea Gift

This collection is not a conventional loose-leaf tea set.

Traditional tea comes from Camellia sinensis, while American Ginseng is a root and Dendrobium is a stem.

For someone who already enjoys green tea, white tea, oolong, black tea or pu-erh, this collection offers an opportunity to explore the broader world of traditional Chinese botanical ingredients beyond tea leaves.

It can sit naturally alongside loose-leaf teas, dried flowers, roots, fruits and other botanical ingredients in a thoughtfully curated home pantry.

What Is Dendrobium Feng Dou / 枫斗?

Feng Dou / 枫斗 refers to Dendrobium stem that has been processed into a distinctive compact coiled form.

The term describes the form of the ingredient and does not, by itself, establish the exact Dendrobium species or grade.

In this gift set, the coiled Dendrobium creates a distinctive visual contrast with the flat, pale slices of American Ginseng.

Storage & Care

Keep both botanical ingredients securely sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, excessive humidity and strong odours.

Use clean, dry utensils when handling the ingredients and reseal each container promptly after use.

Refer to the product packaging for the best-before date and any additional storage instructions.

Product Guidance

American Ginseng and Dendrobium may not be appropriate for everyone.

If you take medication, have a medical condition, have allergies, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are unsure whether either ingredient is appropriate for you, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.

Always follow the directions and warnings provided on the product packaging.

This information is provided for general product guidance and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
