Description
Our award-winning chrysanthemum flower tea is delicious and refreshing, with a natural sweetness, that make it reminiscent of Chamomile tea. Both flowers hail actually from the same family. Because of its extremely low caffeine content, chrysanthemum flower tea can be drunk at any time.
There are also many health benefits associated with chrysanthemum tea, such as helping recover from influenza. It is also known for its cooling properties, as chrysanthemum tea is able to decrease body heat, a property that makes it ideal for those with a fever. This tea is also used as a compress to treat circulatory disorders such as varicose veins and artherosclerosis.
Chrysanthemum tea is also excellent for detoxifying the blood and helps fight high blood pressure and sinus congestion (which makes it a perfect option for hay fever sufferers!). As if those health benefits weren't enough, it calms the nerves, and has been said to sharpen thought, vision and hearing.
To make the perfect cup, simply allow boiling water to cool a little (to a recommended temperature between 190F and 195F), then pour it into a cup and drop in two to five flowers, the amount that would make you three to five cups of tea (you just need to top it up with hot water). If you wish to sweeten it, add a little rock sugar. If you wish to drink it while preserving the ritual as it is in China, float dried chrysanthemum flowers in the cup itself.
