Earth Element — White Peony (Bai Mu Dan), Fennel (Xiao Hui Xiang), Star Anise (Ba Jiao Hui Xiang), Orange Peel (Chen Pi): The Earth element governs the Spleen-Stomach system. White Peony tea’s gentle, delicate character aligns with Earth’s nourishing quality. Fennel, Star Anise, and Orange Peel are classic Spleen-Stomach herbs in TCM tradition.
Metal Element — Peppercorns (Hu Jiao), Cardamom (Sha Ren): The Metal element governs the Lung system. Pungent, aromatic spices with an upward-dispersing character align with Metal’s association with the Lung system and the body’s outermost boundary.
