📜 History

Goji Berry Tea has been consumed in China for over two thousand years, with the berries considered a longevity tonic in traditional Chinese medicine. The Ningxia region of China is famous for producing premium goji berries, which were reserved for emperors and nobility in ancient times. The tea gained international popularity in the 21st century as goji berries were marketed as a superfood, though they have been a staple of Chinese herbalism for millennia.
