Burdock itself contains little sugar, so it is not normal to make it sweet. Now it's basically specially processed, but it tastes better. The largest burdock production bases in China are Xuzhou and Cangshan (Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan Province provinces do not produce burdock at all).

1. Xuzhou's local export business is relatively strict, so it is more original.

2. Cangshan burdock is mainly supplied with raw materials, which are mainly sold to Guangdong, Fujian, Taiwan Province and Beijing. In order to increase the taste, some merchants added sweeteners.

To sum up, burdock tea's tasting notes: Burdock itself is not sweet, and sweetness is sweet. Health tea, since it is a health care function, has a good original taste. If it tastes good, it is better to drink green tea.
