Semi-medicinal herbal drinks, I'm not sure there's a full list of varieties and every shop seems to have its own receipe. You can try a blind pick but stay at home in case you pick the "cleansing" one
All the power ups! The big one on the right is for flu, but there are a lot of types, including ones that include tortoise shell. The MTR ones (in bottles) tend to be sweeter and less herbal. If you tell the shop keeper your power up of choice, they'll give you the right one.
There are even ones for pregnant women and just simple all round ones for purifying or getting rid of 'heat'
I doubt it would have durian in it, usually just has bamboo and various herbs and roots in it. It's all meant to be healthy and can be warming in winter, but definitely an acquired taste!
They are supposed to help prevent diseases or alleviate certain symptoms like sore throat or acne outbreaks. Try the "Five Flower Tea" (五花茶). It doesn't taste herbal at all and actually can be quite pleasant
Thank you! I will!
Durian 2.0 is "24 flavors" herbal tea (廿四味). It's a bitterness supernova compared to durian's area effect, so at least your friends won't be harmed. Everything else there is safe to drink
I have no friends to worry about post-durian. Thank you! I gotta go try this now
Mm faa caa (five flower tea) is the standard go-to and tastes quite good! It has an anti-inflammatory effect and helps when your body has accumulated too much heat
Also leverages my knowledge of how to say "5", from the five demands! Lots of reasons to favor this tea. Thank you!
