Meet the Ingredients

Astragalus Root · Huang Qi · 黄芪

Astragalus is a traditional botanical root commonly known in Chinese as Huang Qi / 黄芪.

In this collection, the dried root is presented in pale slices with visible natural grain and a fibrous appearance.

Its flavour is relatively approachable:

Mild · Earthy · Root-like · Gently Sweet

The sliced format makes its natural root structure easy to see and distinguish from the reishi in the collection.

Reishi · Ling Zhi · 灵芝

Reishi is a mushroom traditionally known in Chinese as Ling Zhi / 灵芝.

The dried slices have a naturally layered structure, deeper brown appearance and more pronounced botanical character.

Expect:

Earthy · Woody · Distinctive · Naturally Bitter

Its natural bitterness is an important part of the reishi flavour experience and creates a clear contrast with the milder character of astragalus.

Astragalus vs. Reishi

	Astragalus Root	Reishi
Traditional Name	Huang Qi / 黄芪	Ling Zhi / 灵芝
Ingredient Type	Root	Mushroom
Format	Dried slices	Dried slices
Appearance	Pale and fibrous	Brown and layered
Flavour	Mild and earthy	Woody and naturally bitter
Character	Gentle root profile	More distinctive mushroom profile

Together, they showcase two very different sides of a traditional Chinese botanical pantry.

Because they are separately packed rather than premixed, each ingredient can be explored individually or combined when following an appropriate recipe.

How to Prepare

Astragalus root and reishi differ in structure and flavour, so appropriate quantities and preparation times may vary.

Depending on the product directions or recipe, they may be incorporated into:

• Gentle simmered botanical preparations

• Soups and broths

• Traditional-inspired recipes

• Botanical ingredient combinations

• Other suitable culinary preparations

The ingredients may be explored separately or prepared together when following an appropriate recipe.

For best results, follow the product-specific preparation directions supplied with the ingredients or a recipe specifically intended for astragalus, reishi or their combination.

More Than an Ordinary Tea Gift

This collection is not a conventional tea-leaf gift.

Traditional green, white, oolong, black and pu-erh teas come from Camellia sinensis. This gift set instead contains a botanical root and a mushroom.

That makes it an interesting choice for someone who already enjoys Chinese tea but wants to discover the broader world of traditional botanical and pantry ingredients.

Astragalus and reishi can sit naturally alongside loose-leaf teas, dried flowers, fruits, roots and other botanicals in a thoughtfully curated home pantry.

A Thoughtful Botanical Gift

The Astragalus & Reishi Gift Set is designed for someone who appreciates traditional ingredients and enjoys discovering something beyond an ordinary tea or conventional gift basket.

Consider it for:

• Parents and family

• Tea lovers

• Botanical enthusiasts

• People interested in Chinese ingredient traditions

• Root and mushroom ingredient enthusiasts

• Birthday gifts

• Thank-you gifts

• Host gifts

• Family visits

• Everyday gestures of care

The separate packaging allows the recipient to identify and explore Huang Qi and Ling Zhi individually, rather than receiving a fixed premixed blend.

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