Tai Ju Chrysanthemum Tea (Chrysanthemum morifolium) — Dried Flower Buds, 100g Loose Leaf

Tai Ju Chrysanthemum Tea (Chrysanthemum morifolium) is made from the tender, unopened flower buds of a beloved traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Tāi Jú (胎菊), a premium early-harvest form of Hang Bai Ju (杭白菊). For centuries, chrysanthemum buds have been prized as a cooling, spirit-clearing, and wind-dispelling flower, used to refresh the eyes, ease the head, and gently calm internal heat. Its nature is sweet, slightly bitter, and slightly cold, making it a light yet clarifying herb for soothing the Liver, clearing the eyes, and harmonizing the body during warm seasons.
