Herbal tea is a compound prescription commonly used in Guangdong and Hong Kong for the treatment of minor discomforts, and the formula is made up of local herbs, which are hard and cold in nature, so it is called Guangdong Herbal Tea. In the 40's and 50's, Hong Kong's medical system was not as perfect as it is today, and the masses of laborers used the cheap herbal tea as their main health drink or therapeutic drug, which led to the heyday of the herbal tea industry.
