Welcome to a breakfast that feeds your eyes, your gut, and your qi.
Today, we’re blending two powerful worlds: the vibrant, antioxidant-rich spectrum of My Blue Tea Superfood Powders — from velvety Purple Sweet Potato to electric Blue Spirulina — and the grounding, traditional wisdom of 5 Grains Oats, TCM inspired. But we’re not stopping there.
Unlike sugary instant oatmeal packets, our Tradional Chinese Medicine (TCM) - inspired Rainbow Bowls contain no added sugar — just pure, nutrient-dense ingredients. Using My Blue Tea's Superfood Powders and 5 Grain Oats from either Yin Shan, Quaker, and Shi Zhuang, you can prepare a Spleen + Stomach healing, colour-coded breakfast in minutes or overnight, if you like it softer.
Whether you’re looking to cool internal heat (hello to our Roselle and Butterfly Pea), build blood and essence (Black Goji berry, Pandan), or simply eat a rainbow for cellular health — this series is your guide. Let’s stir ancient TCM principles into your modern morning.

💚 A True Story: From Dampness & Eczema to Healing —
One Bowl at a time with our Superfood powders
We’d like to share a story about one of our colleagues. For most of his life (going 55 years of age then), he never had any skin issues or allergies to anything. But a few years ago, his body started sounding the alarm — internally and externally. He felt constantly lethargic, heavy, pain and bloated. Constipation became normal. At first, he blamed work stress, fast food, and a sedentary lifestyle. Sound familiar? But then came the wake-up call: eczema and constant dizziness. Not just a small patch — his whole body broke out. He had never experienced anything like it.
Two Paths: Quick Fix vs. Root Healing
He sought Western medicine first — steroids to calm the flare-ups quickly. And they worked, temporarily. But the moment he stopped, the eczema returned. That’s when he turned to TCM to address the core of the problem: balancing Yin & Yang and listening to his body. TCM took longer, but it taught him something Western creams could not — how to eat for his constitution and care for himself naturally using food as medicine. (If you'd like more information on this topic — such as different foods for different seasons and the types of exercises to practice — please let us know in the comments or drop us a message. We'd love to dive deeper for you.)
One of the Root Cause? Cold Drinks & Ice Cream. Through TCM, he discovered that his dampness was largely self-created. During summer, he had a habit of drinking lots of cold drinks and eating lots, lots of ice cream — a classic recipe for Spleen and stomach injury and dampness accumulation.
In TCM, cold foods and drinks extinguish your digestive fire. The Spleen and stomach hate cold.

His New Daily Routine (Eczema Gone, 10 Kgs Lighter)
Today, he has completely transformed his lifestyle:
Only warm water — never cold drink (occasional wine or beer!!)
TCM herbal teas or homemade Butterfly Pea/Pandan tea/Black Goji berry tea infused with apples, goji berries, ginger, and no more than 6 red dates per day (to avoid excess heat).
Daily walking or exercise — gentle movement to move Qi and dry dampness.
Healthy cooking - eating seasonal food with the correct cooking method.
And most importantly — whole, warm, Spleen+ stomach-friendly meals (just like the 5 Grain Oat bowls in this blog or in the table below. Do let us know if you wish to learn more of TCM healthy food or natural foods to prepare).
The result? ✅ Eczema gone.✅ Constipation gone.✅ 10 kilograms lost — naturally, without crash diets and lots of wisdom.
A Bonus Addition: Foot Baths
Later, his family added daily foot baths to his routine. In TCM, foot baths draw dampness downward, improve circulation, and calm the mind. The result? Even better sleep and less dampness overall.

🍵 The Connection to Your Bowl + Food + Tea
This story isn’t unique. 90% of people have dampness constitution — often from the same habits: cold drinks, processed food, stress, and lack of movement.
But healing is possible. It starts with:
A warm bowl of 5 Grain Oats (Spleen-first then stomach)
Eat healthy natural whole foods, avoid fried foods or processed food. Use the colour chart.
A scoop of My Blue Tea superfood powder (colour-coded organ support)
And ends with a cup of 5 Treasure Tea or Harmony Apple Tea (to seal the nourishment)
You don’t need another steroid cream. You need a Spleen + stomach that works — and a bowl that loves you back.
Superfoods + 5 Grains Oats
You can create these beautiful, nutritious, colourful overnight oats or smoothies to start your day. But from a TCM perspective, nothing enters your body before a warm glass of water. It wakes up the Spleen & stomach, gently moves digestion, and begins the process of clearing dampness and intestines — before you even take your first bite.
Rainbow bowls Superfoods + 5 Grains Oats - My Blue Tea's Pairing Guide:
Below is a functional pairing guide based on colour-matching TCM principles + the specific oat blends described for you to enjoy :-
My Blue Tea Powder | TCM Colour / Function | Best Matched Oat Blend (from Yin Shan / Quaker / Shi Zhuang) | Why This Pairing Works |
Purple Sweet Potato / Purple Yam | Purple → bridges red (heart) & black (kidney); nourishes blood & Jing | Black Blend (oats, black sesame, black rice, black beans, black wheat, black barley) | Deep purple + black = kidney & hair synergy. Earthy sweetness complements nutty black grains. |
Dragon Fruit | Red → heart, blood, circulation | Yin Shan Red Pack (red bean, red dates, red goji, oats, longan) | Cooling dragon fruit balances warm red ingredients. Supports radiant complexion and calm spirit. |
Roselle (Hibiscus) | Red / sour → cools liver, moves blood | Red Pack + Quaker oats (add a touch of Shi Zhuang tangerine peel) | Tart roselle cuts through sweet red dates. Excellent for damp-heat or summer mornings. |
Butterfly Pea | Blue → liver, eyes, calming Shen | Chia Multigrain (oats, barley, triticale, rye, chia) | Blue calms the liver; chia & grains provide grounding texture. A meditative, anti-inflammatory bowl. |
Black Goji Berry | Black → kidneys, hair, Jing, longevity | Black Blend (oats, black sesame, black rice, black beans, black wheat, black barley) | Perfect match: black on black. Double down on hair, kidney, and essence-building. Add Yin Shan goji for extra blood tonic. |
Pandan Powder | Green → liver, wood element, detox | Chia Multigrain or White Blend | Pandan’s aromatic, cooling nature supports liver detox. Pair with white blend for gentle lung-nourishing contrast. |
Blue Spirulina | Blue / green → cooling, clears phlegm-heat | White Blend (Chinese yam, oats, barley, poria cocos) | White nourishes lungs & skin; blue spirulina cools inflammation. Ideal for acne, heat signs, or allergy season. |
The Golden Rule of TCM Eating: Heal the Spleen first. Absorption follows.
Once your Spleen is strong and Dampness is cleared, every bowl of oats, every scoop of My Blue Tea superfood powder, and every TCM ingredient from Yin Shan, Quaker, and Shi Zhuang oats becomes fully bioavailable to your body.
