Green Plum Blossom (Prunus mume) — Dried Floral Herb for Tea & Seasonal Blends

Green Plum Blossom (Prunus mume), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Lǜ Méi Huā (绿梅花) or Lǜ È Méi (绿萼梅), is the dried flower bud of the green calyx plum, a revered floral herb prized for centuries as a gentle, qi-regulating blossom. Its nature is slightly sour, astringent, and neutral, making it a soft yet effective herb traditionally used to soothe the Liver, harmonize the middle burner, and ease the spirit. Offered as a dried food-herb ingredient, it is suited for daily floral teas and seasonal wellness blends.
