Thank you Eha. I know it can be quite surprising to see which foods have warming and cooling energies. It may be a very good thing that you are consuming more cooling energy foods but the only way to be certain is to be evaluated by a TCM clinician to see what type of body constitution you have. Stay well and take care

Knowing very little about the Chinese ways as far as foods are concerned your post is making me interested - must post it to friends in less busy days to come! I have genuinely looked at which foods come naturally to me - they all seem to belong to the 'cold' or 'cool' categories - would not have expected that and homework is obviously due 🙂 ! Thanks!

Hi there Emi, thanks for your question. It depends on your health goals and what you are trying to achieve. Combining these ingredients together may just bring the mixture to more of a neutral to slight cooling depending on how much of each item you place into your tea.
goji berries are neutral
jujube - warming
luo han guo - cooling
chrysanthemum - cooling
