The label starts
in the field.

Six familiar foods, chosen for flavour and practical use. Every page separates what we grow, what we buy from partners, and what is still being documented.

READ THE ORIGIN LINE

“Single origin” is only useful if the origin is specific.

Our core materials are Polygonatum (huangjing), mulberry fruit, jujube seed, lily bulb, Chinese yam and Poria. They are used as foods, not as a substitute for medical treatment.

A material may come from our own cultivation area or from a partner plot. The two are not the same claim. In the table below, “own” means a plot managed by our team; “partner” means a supplier or demonstration plot under a sourcing agreement. A field marked pending has not yet been connected to the public batch record.

Harvest dates, drying methods and lot testing vary by season. That is normal in agriculture. What should not vary is the honesty of the label.

The six

Flavour first. Documentation second. Claims last.

These are culinary descriptions, not health benefits.

01 · Root

Polygonatum

A mild, starchy root used in slow-cooked foods. Repeated steaming and drying soften its texture and deepen a caramel-like aroma.

Own / partner · lot record
02 · Fruit

Mulberry

A dark berry with bright acidity. Used in pastes and drinks for colour, tartness and body. Harvest is short and highly weather-dependent.

Partner sourcing · seasonal
03 · Seed

Jujube seed

A small seed used in traditional evening drinks. It is roasted or gently processed before infusion to build a rounded, nutty flavour.

Partner sourcing · identity checked
04 · Bulb

Lily bulb

A layered, slightly sweet bulb used in soups and teas. It is chosen for clean colour, firm texture and a low bitter note.

Partner sourcing · seasonal
05 · Root

Chinese yam

A staple food with a soft, floury texture. Used in breakfast powders and congee-style preparations rather than as a supplement.

Partner / demonstration plot
06 · Fungus

Poria

A cultivated fungus used in traditional soups. It contributes body and a neutral, slightly earthy taste to mixed-grain preparations.

Why six

A shorter list makes
a clearer label.

We would rather explain six materials well than list thirty for effect. Each product uses a small set of ingredients, and each ingredient has a culinary reason to be there.

We do not add a botanical simply to make the label sound older, rarer or more medical. If an ingredient cannot earn its place in taste, texture or shelf-life, it does not belong in the formula.

Allergens and suitability: Always read the finished product label. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a medical condition, ask a qualified healthcare professional before changing your diet.
From ingredient to routine

Three products. Three moments. No cabinet full of half-used jars.

See how the six materials come together in the launch collection, with prices and specifications clearly marked as pending.
