342. Amber

The taste can be described as rich and thick, with a slight fragrance, quite pleasant to drink.

After drinking, a warm current moves toward the heart area, the blood vessels throughout the body are invigorated, and there is a slight tingling sensation under the skin.

Effects: Nourishes the heart and calms the mind, promotes Qi circulation and activates blood. Acts on the urinary system, can relieve urethral irritation symptoms, and also has some improvement on frequent urination caused by decreased bladder capacity.

345. Lingzhi (Reishi)

The taste is between coffee and maca, with bitterness and slight acidity, and a hint of aftertaste sweetness.

After drinking, it has a certain effect of clearing turbidity, a cluster of Qi gathers in the lungs and also envelops the heart, providing slight nourishment to the heart.

Effects: Nourishes the lungs, nourishes the heart, clears turbidity.

346. Valerian

Smells bad but tastes good. The flavor is quite complex, with tea aroma, fruit aromas (lychee, apple, pineapple, pear), and a refreshing hint of mint on the palate. Overall it is sweet, somewhat cloying. As for the bad smell, it is there but requires careful tasting to detect.

Valerian is mainly divided into Wild Valerian and Hairy Valerian. What we tried is Wild Valerian, which is more expensive, tastes better, and its effects tend more toward nourishing.

After drinking, the blood vessels slightly dilate, and the heart and spleen-stomach are especially nourished and unblocked.

Effects: Unblocks vessels, nourishes the heart, nourishes the spleen and stomach (but overall still somewhat turbid, hard to be considered top quality).
