Ginger Powder
Ref: GIPW
A Heritage Rooted in Time and Warmth
Crafted in the remote alpine mountains of Yaoshan, our traditional ginger powder is the result of a centuries-old craft passed down through generations. This unique ginger comes from ancient varieties grown without chemicals, using slash-and-burn farming techniques and fertilized naturally with wood ash. After harvest, the ginger is stored in underground cellars for over 100 days to mature into what is called ginger mother.
Through the ancestral "Nine Steams and Nine Sun-Dries" process, the fresh ginger is gently transformed—steamed and sun-dried nine times over several weeks. This time-honored method removes the harsh spiciness and develops a deep, warming aroma with unmatched smoothness and depth. The final powder is delicately ground and sifted to preserve only the finest essence of ginger.
Whether enjoyed in a hot infusion to awaken your inner warmth, or blended with brown sugar or honey to soothe the body and throat, this ginger powder is far more than a spice—it’s a piece of living tradition.

Why We Selected It
We chose this ginger powder for its exceptional origin, craftsmanship, and balance. Sourced from the alpine mountains of Yaoshan, it is made from old ginger varieties grown without chemicals, using slash-and-burn farming and wood ash as natural fertilizer. After harvest, the ginger is aged in underground cellars for over 100 days to become “ginger mother,” rich in warmth and vitality.
Its transformation follows the ancestral “nine steams and nine sun-dries” method passed down through generations in Yao medicine. This meticulous process removes the sharpness of fresh ginger, leaving behind a gentle, warming powder with a smooth aroma and deep benefits. More than just a spice, this powder embodies the knowledge, patience, and care of artisans who have dedicated their lives to a singular, timeless craft.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Ginger Powder
This powder is made using a time-honored Yao method: the ginger is first aged underground for over 100 days, then steamed and sun-dried nine times. This process removes excess spiciness, enhances digestibility, and enriches the ginger’s warming and revitalizing properties. The result is a smooth, aromatic powder that is both gentle and powerful.
Much more than a simple spice, our artisanal ginger powder reveals the full aromatic richness of carefully processed ginger. Thanks to the traditional method of nine steamings and nine sun-dries, this powder develops a deep, warm, and balanced flavor, far from the sharp spiciness often found in industrial ginger powders.
It unveils soft and complex notes, with subtle smoky and citrusy undertones, naturally enhancing both sweet and savory dishes. In a soup, curry, stew, or even an infusion, this ginger brings a comforting touch of warmth and balance, while helping maintain digestive comfort.
Perfect for seasoning stir-fried rice, grilled fish, or adding a soothing twist to a fruit compote or cake, it becomes a precious ally in a cuisine that is creative, vibrant, and nourishing. A small amount is all it takes to transform a recipe — with finesse, and without overpowering.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), ginger is considered a warming food that helps rebalance the body, stimulate circulation, and dispel internal cold. It is especially recommended in cases of fatigue, sluggish digestion, or cold-related imbalances—particularly for women.
Rich in gingerols, this root is well known for its ability to support digestive health: it stimulates the production of digestive juices, enhances nutrient absorption, improves intestinal comfort, and helps prevent bloating.
It’s also traditionally used to support women’s cycles: by promoting circulation in the pelvic area, it helps relieve menstrual pain, soothe premenstrual tension, and warm the uterus—according to TCM principles. When consumed with brown sugar or honey before and during menstruation, it becomes a gentle and natural long-term remedy.
Finally, in cases of cold symptoms or sore throat, a warm ginger infusion can help clear the airways, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the body’s natural defenses. Traditionally, it is used at the first signs of winter discomfort to boost vital energy and help prevent symptoms from settling in.
