Mengzhen Xu Traditional Chinese Medicine Teabag Packaging Monday, 11 May 2026

Fold

Tests have shown that the effective ingredients concentration of ordinary hanging teabag liquid is only 40 percent of that when directly brewing medicine. This is because ordinary teabags wrap medicine inside, making it difficult for water to flow smoothly from the inside out.
