There’s no such thing, I made it up. There is an “eight treasures tea” from the Yunnan area in China. It consists of goji berries, jujube (a type of red date), dried citrus peel, dried ginseng root, rock sugar crystals, dried chrysanthemum flowers, green tea, and dried longan fruit.
I did try this once while visiting Hangzhou. I was sitting on the lakeside imagining myself a Chinese poet (nah).
I either didn’t have the ingredient or was too lazy to look for it. In any case, I made an herbal tea with jujube and goji berries.
I did add a little honey after I took the shot. I didn’t count the honey as one of the “treasures” since it wasn’t one of the original ingredients.
Maybe next time I’ll attempt all “eight treasures”.
Enjoy.
