Ginkgo

Harvested from the ancient Ginkgo biloba—also known as the maidenhair tree—this remarkable herb is often called a “living fossil,” as it’s the oldest surviving tree species on Earth. Native to China, ginkgo (Yin Xing) has been treasured for centuries in both culinary and medicinal traditions. Folklore even credits the elephant’s legendary memory to its fondness for ginkgo leaves. Enjoy the mildly sweet, earthy flavor of this time-honored leaf as a soothing herbal tea.
