24 flavors

24 flavors

24 flavors or 24 mei is the name given to a variety of Cantonese herbal tea, drunk for medicinal purposes. Its name refers to the fact that it is a mixture of up to 24 different herbs (although it may feature as few as 10 or as many as 28 or more). The recipe is not fixed, and thus may vary according to the producer.

The tea is extremely bitter in taste.
