A Heavenly Combination...Red Dates, Goji Berries & Longans

The Power of 3

This TCM trio has long been used in tonics, brews, and soups to strengthen the body’s core systems. When combined, these deeply nourishing superfruits deliver an invigorating and synergistic effect that supports:

  • Better sleep

  • Improved blood flow

  • Immune resilience

  • Nervous system support


Red Dates (红枣 | Ziziphus jujuba)

Often referred to as a “harmoniser” in TCM formulas, red dates help enhance the effectiveness of other herbs while toning the blood and supporting digestion. Rich in iron, vitamin C, and antioxidants, they also help regulate mood and reduce fatigue.

Goji Berries (枸杞子)

These bright, nutrient-dense berries are considered a superfood in both Eastern and Western wellness. Goji berries are high in antioxidants, vitamin A, and beta-carotene. In TCM, they are used to support liver and kidney health, eye health, and immunity. They also play a role in balancing blood sugar and boosting skin radiance.

Longans (龙眼)

Sweet and mildly sedative, longans are known for their ability to calm the mind, ease anxiety, and promote deep sleep. They’re also rich in iron and adenosine, supporting both blood health and nervous system relaxation.

At Tily Tea, we craft herbal blends inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine — and this trio of red dates, goji berries, and longans is one of our most loved combinations. This trio is featured in our Evening Calm blend — part of Tily's Classic collection.

Key Benefits 

1. Promotes Restorative Sleep

Each fruit plays a role in improving the quality of sleep:

  • Longans contain GABA and adenosine, calming the nervous system and encouraging deep sleep.

  • Red dates stimulate the brain’s sleep receptors and help with iron-related fatigue.

  • Goji berries may support mood balance and brain function by increasing BDNF, a neuroprotective factor linked to better sleep and anxiety reduction.

🍵 Try this trio in an evening tea to relax, recharge, and reset your body overnight.

2. Boosts Blood Circulation and Replenishment

Good circulation is key to physical and mental performance. This combination:

  • Supports blood production and oxygenation (thanks to the iron in red dates and longans)

  • Enhances nutrient delivery to the brain and body

  • Helps promote cell renewal via cyclic AMP messengers found in red dates

Regularly consuming these herbs can support energy, reduce dizziness or fatigue, and aid in post-illness recovery.

3. Builds Immunity and Antioxidant Protection

  • Goji berries are loaded with antioxidants that fight oxidative stress and support immune cells.

  • Red dates and longans help strengthen overall vitality, especially in colder months or during recovery.
