Goji tea

Gugi-cha (구기차; 枸杞茶) or goji tea is a traditional Chinese/Korean tea made from dried goji berries or leaves.[1] Traditionally, the tea was made with young goji leaves.[2] Today, mature leaves or, more commonly, berries are used.[1][2] The tea made with berries may be called gugija-cha (구기자차; 枸杞子茶) or goji berry tea, while the tea made with leaves is referred to as gugiyeop-cha (구기엽차; 枸杞葉茶) or goji leaf tea.[1]
