Shun Chun Tang opened its first store on Guangzhou Street in 1999. Mr. Huang Chao-de, the owner, grew up among herbal medicines, treating them as toys during his childhood. At the age of 27, when he got married, he started his business, standing out among the many traditional herbal shops in Wanhua. Unlike other traditional herbal shops, there are no herbal medicines in the store. Instead, you can see neatly arranged, newly designed herbal tea bags. Ten years ago, Mr. Huang felt that traditional herbal shops were far from modern lifestyles. Customers came with prescriptions to buy medicines, and the shops only provided the herbs, which not only failed to build relationships with customers but also easily turned into mere price competitions. To fit modern people's fast and convenient lifestyles, he began researching how to condense herbal medicines into tea bags. He tried dozens of tea bag formulas, continuously explored and improved the formulas. His wife also learned packaging design on her own, making the tea bags more appealing to general consumers. The store then adjusted according to customer needs, transforming from a traditional herbal shop into a "natural health center." Using approachable tea bags, it changed the previous perception of herbs as "medicines" to "health foods," even attracting foreign tourists to come and buy.
Shun Chun Tang emphasizes the concept of "seasonal health care." In summer, it offers a "cooling down" tea made from various herbs. In autumn, it focuses on a tea made from Houttuynia cordata to protect the bronchi. In winter, it offers a "vitality tea" that is gently adjusted for nourishment. In addition to different herbal tea bags for each season, Shun Chun Tang also offers specially designed tea bags for specific customer needs, such as a "Leonurus Tea" for women's health and a "Rhododendron Tea" for those who need a cooling supplement. Visiting Shun Chun Tang not only allows you to relax your mind with the refreshing herbal fragrance, but also take some herbal tea bags back to nourish your body.
