Sai Fong Ginseng & Herb

Love this place. I’ve been coming here periodically for the past few years — this place helped me realize I have a few food allergies, and gave me some natural herb remedies to clear up the rashes I’ve been getting because that, and also to help regulate my menstrual cycle. I’d recommend speaking to Ping, her English is good, and she’s so knowledgeable.

Everyone these days is looking towards Eastern medicine, even cutting-​edge Western physicians. Though some remedies can and do seem strange to Westerners, given China’s 3000 year+ clinical history, this much trial and error is bound to produce results. The owner at Sia Fong has a steady clientle coming in for herbs to treat all ailments under the sun. She takes an interest in you and on more than one occasion, has done a little research on my behalf.
Herbs aside, what I love most about Sai Fong is how they introduced me –in a convincing way– to the finest teas. As an avowed coffee bean lover, I have tried many times to transition, but always failed to develop a taste for tea. Until now. The whole leaf Jasmine sold here is divine. Despite the proliferation of «fine» coffee and tea outlets over the past decade, I have come to realize that the one must look towards a true ethnic tea community to really get a sense of how this is woven into the fabric of life, and the deep appreciation yields many benefits. I am sure there are many places in the San Gabriel Valley that could have begun to unravel this for me, it just happened to be here, and for this I am grateful Take tips from and learn from an expert there. Really, just intoxicating Jasmine.
