Lü E Mei Dried Flower (Prunus mume) — White Mume Blossom Herbal Tea for Brewing

Lü E Mei (绿萼梅), also known as White Mume Blossom or Green Calyx Mume Flower, is the naturally sun-dried flower of Prunus mume, a beloved food-herb (药食同源) botanical in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). For centuries, this delicate blossom has been prized as a gentle, qi-regulating flower used to soothe the Liver, harmonize the stomach, and lift the spirit. Its nature is slightly sour, astringent, and neutral, making it a soft yet fragrant herb for daily tea brewing and seasonal wellness rituals.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Lü E Mei is brewed alone as a fragrant daily tea or blended with rose bud, chrysanthemum, and goji berry for a soothing floral infusion. It is also scattered into congee, light soups, and seasonal spring tonics, where its gentle qi-regulating character is traditionally used to ease a stifled mood, support smooth digestion, and harmonize the middle burner. As a food-herb flower, it has long been part of everyday wellness rituals rather than a rare medicinal ingredient.
