Chrysanthemum Bud Tea (Tai Ju)


Chrysanthemum buds tea are produced entirely from young buds of chrysanthemum flowers. This thirst quenching tea is great for relaxation and releasing stress. We recommend adding either rock sugar or honey to enhance the taste of the chrysanthemum tea. Chrysanthemum buds tea is excellent in treating mild sunstroke and easing a sore throat. Since this drink is caffeine free, Golden Chrysanthemum tea would be a perfect summer time drink for kids.

Brewing Guide:
Rinse tea cup and teapot with hot water. Use around 4 to 5 flowers (2g/0.07 oz) for every 225 ml of water. Steep tea leaves in hot water at 90°c (194°F) to 95°c (203°F) for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the liquor turns light yellow. You may try brewing this tea with a bit of rock sugar. Serves well hot or cold.
