Fuzzy melon, winter gourd, white gourd, wax gourd, ash pumpkin or winter melon - no matter what you call it, you’re sure to have heard of it or even eaten it. You’ll hardly see a Chinese household without at least a few boxes of wintermelon tea stored in their refrigerators during Chinese New Year and it’s no wonder too since it’s the hottest time of the year. Ranking among the top few drinks of choice when temperatures climb to scorching hot levels, wintermelon tea is a popular favourite along with sugarcane juice and Chinese herbal tea. Wintermelon tea has long been a summer staple in Taiwan with a history going back at least a hundred years. Methods of making it are often sophisticated, which is why we bring this popular drink to you in the form of tea rocks. Not only is it much easier than slicing, peeling, measuring and straining the ingredients yourself, we also ensure that only the best and freshest natural ingredients go into making our products.
