漢字胎菊

flavor notes herbaceous, sweet, crisp

Our chrysanthemum buds are the first harvest from Zheijang province. A distant relative of chamomile, these yellow buds have a cleaner and and a more honey-like finish than their later harvest blossoms. Bright and delicate, this is the perfect herbal tea to drink just before bedtime.


1g	per	2oz	at	180°F	for	2m

While herbal tisanes can be brewed with boiling water, we find that a temperature closer to 180°F preserves the more delicate floral nuances of the infusion, resulting in a more satisfying brew.
