GuangXi Hawthorn Leaves

Description

Guangxi Sun‑Dried Hawthorn Leaves

These are the hand‑picked, sun‑dried or air‑dried leaves of the Crataegus hawthorn tree, grown in the misty hills of Guangxi, China. Unlike ornamental varieties such as Indian hawthorn, our leaves are true downy hawthorn leaves—soft to the touch, with a natural yellow‑green color after drying. They have been used for generations in Guangxi as a daily digestive tea, a refreshing summer drink, and a gentle aid for weight management.

How to Use

In Guangxi, locals don’t just steep these leaves—they boil them to unlock their full flavor and benefits.

Traditional Boiling Method:

Rinse a small handful of dried hawthorn tree leaves.

Place in a pot with 1 liter of fresh water.

Bring to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Pour and enjoy.

The brewed liquid is a warm, inviting brown, with a clean, slightly nutty taste that is deeply thirst‑quenching.

Customize Your Cup:

Add fresh mint for extra cooling.

Toss in dried tangerine peel to boost digestion.

Squeeze lemon for a citrusy twist.

Include a piece of monk fruit (luo han guo) for natural sweetness.

What Makes Guangxi Hawthorn Leaves Special?
