Dried Wolfberry (Goji) Berry Tea Introduction

Native to Asia, goji berries have been around for centuries but have only recently been popularized in the West and recognized as an amazingly healthy and powerful plant. It is considered to be a superfood that has so many uses and offers incredible health benefits that surpass ordinary fruit that we have been used to consuming. Some even call it the most healthy and nutritious fruit in the world. It is particularly popular in tea form where whole dried wolfberries are brewed in hot water.

The color that you get by steeping this tea is a beautiful fiery shade of red that lures you in. And then you smell the fruity aroma and taste the sweet and slightly tangy flavor which totally takes over all of your senses. Wolfberries resemble the taste of cherries and cranberries, so if you like those fruits, you will definitely enjoy goji tea. It is a tea that can also be consumed cold, serving as a refreshing icy beverage that’s perfect for the summertime. It is a great way to quench your thirst and also a healthy replacement for unhealthy, sugary drinks.

The biggest production of wolfberries is in China, in the famous Ningxia and Xinjiang Counties. The small bright red berries are either cautiously handpicked or gently shaken off the tree into baskets to ensure no damage to the fruit. They are then put in open trays and set out to dry in bright sunlight. That process preserves the berries perfectly, keeping all of the important nutrients and vitamins. That’s why wolfberry tea has such a strong flavor and aroma, allowing you to steep whole berries that result in a cup of very potent tea.

You can not only make a powerful tea from wolfberries, but eat them and use in cooking as well. They can be consumed raw or dried, although it is very unlikely that you’ll find fresh goji berries, but dried ones are equally as nutritious. They can be a great addition to oatmeal which makes them a healthy breakfast choice. But there are literally hundreds of delicious recipes that include goji. That makes it an incredibly versatile plant that can be consumed in many different ways.

In Tibet, wolfberries are known as “happy fruit”. People there believe that gojies are the ultimate source of happiness and wellbeing. They regularly eat and drink it in order to stay healthy and feel content and grounded, connecting to nature and spirituality. It is also considered to be a fountain of youth because it is believed to have anti-aging and restorative properties and that you can actually live longer if you consume the berries every day. Goji berries are celebrated in China in a yearly autumn festival, which is when the harvest happens.

It is very unfortunate that the amazing properties of wolfberries have only recently been recognized in the Western world. During the last couple of years many studies have been done, finally confirming the medicinal value of these berries. They were brought over to Britain in the 18th century, but were not particularly popular at the time. Only during the last couple of decades, when the healthy eating movement started to become prominent in America, wolfberries rose to their well deserved fame and were finally being appreciated.
