A month ago I was at my dear friend's baby shower, who are now proud parents of a beautiful baby girl. As a gift to all of their friends they sent us home with a wonderful tea that just happened to have Go Ji Berries. How perfect to go along with Week G! Each ingredient is dense with all sorts of health benefits. Thank you Bettina! Bettina is also a practicing acupuncturist. I highly recommend her if you are based locally in the Bay Area. She is amazing!
