Description

Our recent addition to the Bitterleaf “weird” collection is not actually tea, but rather a parasitic plant that uses the tea trees of Jing Mai as its source of power. Bearing resemblance to the crustacean of the same name, Crab Legs are treasured in traditional Chinese medicine, but also make for an enjoyable drink all on their own.

Brewing crab legs is as easy as boiling 2-4 grams in a large kettle for several minutes, and then adding more water to re-brew as you go. They produce a tangy-sweet soup with an herbal quality. Additionally, there is quite a nice huigan that lasts in the throat.
