Chrysanthemum Tea

Chrysanthemum Tea – Whole Flower Chinese Herbal Tea

Whole dried chrysanthemum flowers create a wonderfully light, fragrant infusion. Chrysanthemum Tea is widely known throughout China and has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Naturally caffeine-free and beautiful to watch as the flowers bloom in your cup, it's a gentle, soothing tea for any time of day.

In Chinese tradition, chrysanthemum is considered a "cooling" herb. It's traditionally enjoyed for glowing skin, for its soothing anti-inflammatory qualities and as a natural, gentle cleanser that supports the liver. Many people reach for it to soothe a sore throat or ease tension headaches, and it contains B vitamins, vitamin C and natural antioxidants.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy it on its own, sweeten it with a little honey or rock sugar, or pair it with goji berries for a classic Chinese combination. It also blends beautifully with green tea or pu-erh (the popular "Ju Pu" pairing). Brew in a glass teapot to watch the flowers open, and re-infuse them for a second cup.

Light, floral and time-honored, Chrysanthemum Tea is a simple pleasure worth savoring. Enjoy!
