A CLOSER LOOK

How to recognize it

Young shoot tips of the goji plant, withered, heat-treated, rolled and dried for infusion. These are leafy shoots, not the red berries or ordinary tea leaves.

In the kitchen

Steep in hot water and strain or leave the opened shoots behind when drinking. They produce a mild leafy, faintly sweet infusion.

Goji leaf-tea products can use tender leaves or shoot tips and may be rolled into strips or rounded forms. This ingredient refers to processed young shoots, not fresh wild leaves or fruit extract.
