Why Is Spring the Most Important Season for Harvesting Nanzhu Leaves?
Every leaf has its own seasonWalk into a Nanzhu mountain plantation, and you may notice that harvesting doesn't happen every day.

Scientific research continues to explore the naturally occurring phytochemicals found in Nanzhu (Vaccinium bracteatum), including plant polyphenols and anthocyanins.
For over 1,500 years, Nanzhu (Wufan) has been part of traditional dietary culture. Today, we continue exploring its botanical potential through independent laboratory research and modern scientific evaluation.
At Nanzhu, we believe that traditional knowledge and modern science should complement one another.
While centuries of traditional use provide valuable insights, we continue supporting laboratory research to better understand the biological activities of our botanical formulations.
Our goal is to provide consumers with transparent, evidence-informed information while continuing to improve our products through research.
Our formulations have undergone independent third-party laboratory testing conducted in China.
Current laboratory evaluations include preclinical biological activity assessments using internationally recognized zebrafish models to evaluate multiple wellness-related indicators.
Research areas include:
✔ Antioxidant Activity
✔ Immune Support
✔ Gastrointestinal Wellness
✔ Blood Lipid Support*
✔ Blood Glucose Support*
✔ Bone Health Support*
Zebrafish are one of the world's most widely used preclinical research models.
Because many biological pathways are similar to humans, zebrafish are commonly used by universities, research institutes and pharmaceutical laboratories to evaluate biological activity before human clinical studies.
Their advantages include:
✔ Rapid observation
✔ High genetic similarity
✔ Well-established research standards
✔ International scientific acceptance
We are committed to making our research more accessible and transparent.
Where appropriate, laboratory reports and scientific information will be shared with consumers as part of our ongoing commitment to scientific integrity.

More than just a bowl of rice. Imagine if people today celebrated a special day every year simply to enjoy a bowl of rice. It may sound unusual.
Tea has never been just a drink. Many people drink tea simply because they enjoy the taste.
