Huangshan Gong Ju Chrysanthemum Petals (Chrysanthemum morifolium) — Dried White Chrysanthemum Flower Tea

Huangshan Gong Ju Chrysanthemum Petals (Chrysanthemum morifolium) are the dried white flower petals of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Gòng Jú (贡菊), also called Tribute Chrysanthemum. Grown in Anhui province and prized for centuries as a cooling, liver-clearing, and eye-brightening flower, Gong Ju has been used to soothe the head, calm the spirit, and refresh the senses. Its nature is sweet, slightly bitter, and slightly cold, making it a gentle yet clarifying herb for dispersing wind-heat and harmonizing the Liver and Lung.
