Description
Dai Dai Hua (代代花), botanically identified as the dried flower of Citrus aurantium 'Amara' and also written as 玳玳花, is a traditional food-herb flower treasured in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a gentle, aromatic blossom for soothing the Liver, regulating qi, and harmonizing the middle burner. Known in English as Bitter Orange Flower or Seville Orange Flower, it has been prized for centuries as a fragrant, qi-moving herb used to ease chest and abdominal tightness, settle the stomach, and lift the spirits. Its nature is slightly bitter, mildly sweet, and neutral-to-warm, making it a soft yet effective floral herb for daily tea and seasonal wellness.

Quality & Sensory
Each batch is naturally sun-dried to preserve the blossoms' pale cream-to-soft-yellow color, delicate petal structure, and clean floral aroma. The dried flowers feel light and papery to the touch, with a fresh citrus-blossom scent that opens as soon as the bottle is uncapped. When brewed, Dai Dai Hua yields a pale golden infusion with a soft, gently bittersweet flavor and a lingering floral-citrus fragrance that is smooth rather than sharp.
