Lucky Eight Needle Ku Ding Tea 5.3 Oz (150g)

To cleanse my liver and kidney

Good for morning tea and makes you active throughout the day

Nice bitter flavor. I like many bitter favors so I wanted to try this tea. I figured it might be just a one time experience due to the comments and stories I read about bitter nail tea, but to my surprise, I really do like it. I’ve been drinking it every day since I got it. No need for an infuser. I put 3 nails in a big 20 oz mug, pour in some boiling water, cover and drink it in about 5-10 min. I can get 3 mugs from the 3 nails. Very nice green tea color. The bitterness is very nice (if you like bitter flavors). Great discovery for me (might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I really like it).

I love this tea! I first heard about it in acupuncture school...about a ...long time ago. For my constitution, this tea is amazing! Ku Ding Tea is BITTER to my palette and I love it! I bought this brand on a whim. It's definitely fresh, tastes good and as an aside, the packaging is good. Will definitely buy this again

Use to get this tea from local Asian market but they no longer carry it. One stick goes a long way in terms of flavor. I personally love this tea mixed with jasmine tea. Will buy again.

If you’re reading this you probably know that this tea contains small amounts of theacrine in it. In smaller doses it is a relaxant/sedative. This is also a traditional Chinese tea with medicinal properties, that people drink when they are sick.It smells like regular tea but the taste is bitter, while not tasting bad otherwise. You won’t want to savor the flavor of it. Add some sugar and cream or milk, to cut down the bitter taste. Typically, people don’t drink this for the flavor.

Dislike the taste

After reviews I was afraid this would be a chore to drink. Not at all, I was pleasantly surprised. My first try I used 2 decent sized "needles", added a small amount of lemon. While it's not as pleasant as an herbal flavored tea, for me it was very drinkable since I am drinking it for heath benefits. The box has plenty, will go a long way.
