Green Plum Flower (Prunus mume) — Dried Food-Herb Blossoms for Tea & Seasonal Wellness

Green Plum Flower (Prunus mume) is the dried blossom of the traditional food-herb tree known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Lǜ Méi Huā (绿梅花). Also called Green Plum Blossom, it has been prized for centuries as a gentle, qi-regulating flower herb used to soothe the Liver, harmonize the middle, and lift the spirit. Its nature is slightly sweet, astringent, and neutral-to-slightly warm, making it a mild yet elegantly aromatic herb for daily tea and seasonal nourishment.
