Dried Hawthorn Berries (Shan Zha) | (100g bottle)

About 

Dried Hawthorn Berries, also known as Chinese hawthorn, are small, vibrant red berries with a naturally sweet and tart flavour, reminiscent of ripe apples or cranberries.

Traditionally enjoyed in teas, tonics, and culinary preparations, these berries have been valued for generations.

Often used to make hawthorn tea or hawthorn fruit tea, they offer a distinctive taste and can be infused, simmered, or blended into various recipes.

At Vita, we supply premium quality concentrated herbal granules for busy individuals that do not have the time to decoct Chinese herbs traditionally.

Unlike other brands, our concentrated granules are produced using state of the art 'Spray Drying' technology, meaning a purer end product and 2-3 times higher concentration.
