Luo Han Guo Chrysanthemum Pu-erh Tea

Why people make this tea

Fatty liver is increasingly common in middle-aged adults, often linked to a combination of rich food, alcohol, and sedentary habits. In traditional Chinese food therapy, the liver is supported by cooling and cleansing ingredients that help the body clear heat and move accumulated fat. Nourilo’s Luo Han Guo Chrysanthemum Pu-erh Tea brings together three such ingredients in a cup that is genuinely enjoyable to drink. The monk fruit makes it naturally sweet without any refined sugar; the pu-erh gives it depth and a mild earthy quality; and the chrysanthemum adds a clean floral note. Together, the three have been used in Chinese wellness traditions to support healthy blood lipids, ease a heavy or congested feeling in the liver area, and help the body manage weight over time.

Method

1. Place all ingredients into a teapot or heat-safe infuser.
2. Pour a small amount of boiling water over the ingredients; swirl briefly and discard this first rinse to clean the tea leaves.
3. Pour fresh boiling water into the pot to fill it. Put the lid on and allow to steep for 7 minutes.
4. Pour and enjoy. The pot can be re-infused multiple times, adding fresh boiling water each time, until the flavour becomes faint.

Nourilo’s Tips

When choosing a luo han guo, look for one with a bright, clear colour; hold it up and shake it — a good-quality fruit should make no sound inside (the flesh has not shrunk away from the shell). A fruit that rattles when shaken is considered a lesser grade. The entire fruit — shell and all — has benefits, so do not discard the shell pieces. Nourilo uses just one quarter of a fruit per session; a whole fruit would be too much sweetness and too strong a dose.

For people with liver enzyme elevation, this tea may be worth trying as a daily wellness beverage. For serious liver conditions, please work with a qualified doctor.
