Through Bitter to Sweet Herbal Tea Surprise Pouch

As children, many of us first learned a life lesson from a bowl of herbal tea — first bitter, then sweet ( 先苦後甜). The first sip made us frown, but slowly a gentle sweetness returned, followed by a small reward from Mum: a preserved tangerine peel plum.

In Chinese food culture, bitterness is an important flavor believed to cool, cleanse, and restore harmony to body and mind.

This “Through Bitter to Sweet” surprise pouch carries that memory — a reminder that life’s sweetness often comes after a little bitterness.
