Golden Silk Imperial Chrysanthemum Tea One Flower One Cup Dried Chrysanthemum Flower Tea 2.5g

Golden Silk Imperial Chrysanthemum, known in TCM as Jin Si Huang Ju (金丝皇菊), is the dried flower head of Chrysanthemum morifolium, a single-bloom chrysanthemum from Anhui. Each flower is low-temperature slow-dried to preserve its golden petals and delicate aroma. In TCM theory, chrysanthemum flowers are cool in nature, sweet and slightly bitter, and associated with the Lung and Liver channels. Traditionally used as a gentle daily floral tea, one bloom steeped in hot water makes a light, refreshing cup.
