Kang Naixian: a field note on modern Fruit & Flower blends from Hebei

If you’ve been watching the tea aisle lately, you’ve seen it too:
Fruit And Flower Tea
is no longer the sleepy “afternoon” category. It’s now a functional, camera-friendly star. Kang Naixian, produced in NO.12, XIJIAN STREET, SHIJIAZHUANG CITY, HEBEI PROVINCE, CHINA, rides that wave with a blend rooted in traditional Chinese herbal know-how—balanced, bright, and (to be honest) surprisingly consistent cup to cup.

What’s driving the category

Three currents shape Fruit And Flower Tea in 2025: low/no-caffeine rituals, clean-label botanicals, and traceable sourcing. Retail buyers tell me they want QR-backed batch info; café operators want color-forward infusions for iced service. Kang Naixian leans into both, with a heritage TCM backbone and modern QA.

Process flow (how it’s made—briefly)

• Materials: premium botanicals (fruit pieces and blossoms; exact formula proprietary), food-grade filter media for sachets or loose-leaf packing.
• Methods: gentle low-temp dehydration, calibrated cut-size, blending in controlled humidity rooms; metal detection and optical sorting.
• Testing standards (typical industry practice): pesticide residues against GB 2763; heavy metals vs GB 2762; microbiology using ISO 4833-1 (TPC), ISO 6579 (Salmonella), ISO 21527 (yeast/mold); sensory per internal panel.
• Service life: ≈ 18–24 months sealed; best before depends on storage (cool, dry, away from light).
• Industries served: retail FMCG, hotel amenities, specialty café chains, wellness/spa, cross-border e-commerce.
