Chrysanthemum tea is a natural coolant commonly used to relieve signs of 'heatiness', which may manifest physically as sore throat, dry mouth, ulcers, acne outbreak, etc.

While there are many varieties of chrysanthemum flowers out there, they all share these common benefits:
● Clears heat
● Expels wind-heat
● Detoxifies the body
● Brightens the eyes

However, different chrysanthemum flowers are more suited for different situations.

Our Freeze-Dried Kunlun Baby Snow Chrysanthemum is sourced from the alpine region of the Kunlun Mountains in China. These wild buds are rare due to their short blooming season and low yield, and are harvested when the flowers are not fully bloomed. They are pre-washed and freeze-dried at low temperatures to best preserve the nutrients.

The low temperatures in the mountains slow down the growth of the flowers, giving them time to acquire more flavour and nutrients. They are also more aromatic and fragrant than the Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum.

More suitable for promoting everyday wellness:
● Contains higher pollen content than the Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum
● Reduces blood sugar, cholesterol level, and blood pressure
● Promotes anti-aging
● Promotes metabolism

Dosage:
5g to 9g

Suggested use:
Infuse 2 teaspoons in hot water for about 5 minutes before consuming. For a cold brew tea, use room temperature water instead and refrigerate for 2 hours or longer if you prefer a stronger taste.

Note:
It is recommended to pour away the first brew to 'wash' the tea.

Recommendation:
Infuse chrysanthemum with wolfberries (gǒu qǐ; 枸杞) or red dates (hóng zǎo; 红枣) to relieve tired eyes and nourish the blood, or mix chrysanthemum with some honeysuckle (jīn yín huā; 金银花) and rock sugar to soothe a sore throat and dispel heat.

In TCM, 'heatiness' suggests an excess of Yang energy or deficiency of Yin. Apart from the hot weather, poor diet and lifestyle can also cause 'heatiness' to manifest in the body. For instance, frequently staying up late, overworking without adequate rest, consuming excessive 'heaty' foods, etc.

Examples of 'heaty' foods:
● Deep-fried, greasy or spicy foods
● Chicken, beef, or lamb meats
● Fruits such as durian, mango, longan, or lychee
● Alcohol, coffee, red tea, or chocolate beverages

Some signs of 'heatiness' or Yin deficiency include:
● Warm, feverish palms and soles
● Sore throat, fever, or ulcers in the mouth
● Hard and dry stools or constipation
● Dark or yellow urine
● Dry or bloodshot eyes
● Skin issues such as acne, eczema, and hives
● Feelings of restlessness, irritability, vexation, agitation, or anxiety
● Dream-disturbed sleep or insomnia
● Dry cough or cough with thick yellow phlegm
