Hangzhou Chrysanthemum Buds | 杭菊

Hangzhou white chrysanthemum (杭菊, hangju), also known as sweet chrysanthemum (甘菊, ganju), have been prized for their delicious taste and have been recorded in various medicinal and herbology texts for their traditional Chinese medicinal properties.

Originating from the Zhejiang province, the Hangzhou white chrysanthemum flower has a captivating yet calming floral aroma. The color of the elixir takes on a yellow hue. The light nectar sweetness and grassy brew from the fully matured flowers is soothing and nostalgic. 

This herbal infusion is a great option for our caffeine-sensitive friends and floral tea lovers.
