Chinese sweet tea, also known as Tian-cha,[1] is a traditional Chinese herbal tea, made from the leaves of Chinese blackberry (Rubus suavissimus). These leaves contain a natural sweetener, called rubusoside, which is 200 times as sweet as cane sugar.[1] The tea has long been used to alleviate kidney symptoms, and a recent Japanese study also indicates that it has anti-inflammatory effects and helps against allergies.[2]
