We sell dried goods. That is the whole business.

Wolfberries, red dates, chrysanthemum and rose for tea, white fungus, huai shan, mushrooms, nuts and dried fruit. Nothing else, which is rather the point.

We do not grow any of it. What we do is choose it — which grade of wolfberry is worth the extra dollar, which chrysanthemum still smells of something after a year in a jar. Nine years of customers have told us plainly when we got it wrong, and what you see is what came through.

Your order is weighed and sealed the day it leaves us, and every pack tells you its net weight, so you know what you are paying for before the packaging goes on.
