Dandelion isn’t just a weed. No, it’s much more than that. When used appropriately, it’s a medicinal herb with many different health properties. In fact, when its roots and leaves are dried for tea, it contains significant amounts of vitamins A, C, and D plus zinc, iron, magnesium, and potassium. You’ll find dandelion (pu gong ying) in our Hangover Tea and Anti-C Tea blends.
