Summer cool -- Kansai Mesona

After the mid-autumn, farmers in Kansai, Hsinchu, set off to harvest red bone mesona in the field. They dry it by the autumn sun and September wind before it is stored and aged at least for two years. Mesona is rich in caffeic acid, a component which can reduce free radicals and delay aging, and contains Polysaccharide gel which helps to resist joint degeneration and moisturizing beauty. In general, mesona is served as refreshing grass tea or grass jelly, a very popular street snack in Taiwan.
