Take a Japanese Sencha green tea; add superfruit Goji berries, a splash of blue cornflower blossom and not only do you get a fabulous looking tea but a powerhouse of nutrients too.

This is truly a red diamond (a name used by the Chinese for the berry) in the Crown.

The Goji has been grown on plantations along the floodplains of the Yellow River for more than 600 years and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for nearly 2,000 years. Carefully picked or shaken from the trees the berries are dried in full sun, dehydrating over a period of 48 hours.

Goji contains many nutrients like trace minerals, amino acids, very high levels of Vitamin C, Vitamin E and beta carotene. It is said to boost your immune system and help fight infection, fight insomnia and forgetfulness.

Best of all, it tastes really good.

One of the most interesting myths surrounding the berry is of Li Qing Yuen who was said to have consumed red diamonds daily and lived to the age of 252. (1678-1930) Drink lots of this tea and expect to live a long and happy life.

2oz packets of loose leaf tea make between 20 and 25 cups of tea, though we recommend multiple infusion to enjoy even more of this fine tea.

Store in a dry place.
