What's in the cup
Whole herbs, cut and dried, in a pyramid bag. Not powder, not flavouring.
Why those herbs
Each one, what it's for in a Chinese kitchen, and how much the researchers have looked at it. Labelled honestly.
Peppermint leaf
For the clench. In small human studies, peppermint oil helped a meal start leaving the stomach sooner and let the stomach stop squeezing. Those used the oil; a cup is leaves. We say so.
Hawthorn fruit (shanzha)
The after-dinner fruit for a heavy, meaty meal. In the Chinese pharmacopoeia for food that stays.
Tangerine peel (chenpi)
The herb Chinese kitchens reach for when the stomach feels tight and blown up after a meal.
Atractylodes root (baizhu)
The classic herb for food that stays. The one for a slow, heavy middle.
Patchouli herb
For the heaviness after a big meal. The lead herb in one of the oldest Chinese stomach formulas.
Cardamom
The warming after-meal spice across Asia.
Fennel seed
For trapped air. Studied in people as an oil, together with other things.
Licorice root
Settles the lining, and sweetens the cup. On blood pressure medication? Ask your doctor first.
Chamomile flower
Calms. One of nine herbs in a European stomach formula tested in trials.
Clove
Warming.
Rose petals
The herb Chinese mothers give for a knotted stomach.
No trial has tested a tea like this one. We'd rather tell you that than call it "clinically proven".
Made for the evening after dinner†
A hot cup after the meal, when the stomach is working. Not another capsule to swallow into one that isn't.
Why every bottle missed
The picture that makes it make sense, and what the research says, labelled for what it is.
After fifty, the squeeze slows
Your stomach is a muscle. It squeezes dinner into the next part, a little at a time. With age that squeeze slows, so dinner at six is still being worked on at ten, and when the top is slow, everything behind it is slow. Probiotics are for bacteria. Enzymes cut food smaller, but a smaller pile is still a pile. Fibre is bulk, and adds to it. Antacids are for acid. None of them are movement.
The picture
Peppermint got the meal moving sooner
In a small study of healthy people, peppermint oil stirred into a meal shortened the wait before the meal began leaving the stomach. In another, sprayed on the stomach during a scope, it let the stomach stop clenching in about a minute and a half. Both used the oil; the cup is leaves, the whole blend, not a clinical dose.

The rest of the cup is kitchens
Hawthorn, tangerine peel, Atractylodes, patchouli, cardamom, clove and rose are the after-meal herbs of Chinese kitchens. Animal studies for some, centuries of use for all, no trial of a tea like this one.
TraditionYour first 90 evenings
No made-up timelines. Here's how to check it for yourself.
- One bag, boiling water, four to six minutes, after dinner
- Expect a nice cup of tea. Tangerine first, mint after, a little sweet from the licorice.
- Don't look for a feeling. Notice whether dinner is still on your mind at nine o'clock.
- Keep brewing it every evening, not just the big ones
- Sunday dinner, the holidays, the restaurant: those are the evenings to have the cup
- Pain, vomiting or weight loss are a different thing. See your doctor for those.
- Evenings haven't changed? Email us for a full refund. Nothing to send back.
5 reasons it's different
What you won't find in most digestive teas.
Made for after dinner
Not a detox, not a cleanse, not a flush. A Chinese after-dinner blend for the heavy, full feeling after a meal.†
Whole pieces, not flavouring
Peppermint leaf, tangerine peel in pieces, hawthorn, whole seeds and petals. You can see them through the bag.
A cup, not one more bottle
A hot cup after the meal, when the stomach is working. Not a dose, nothing for the pill organiser, no caffeine, twenty minutes at the table.
No hype
Every herb is labelled studied in people, animal studies, or kitchen tradition. No "clinically proven", no miracle claims.
