Chrysanthemum (Herbal Teas)

Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemums figure greatly in many enchanting Chinese legends, with an illustrious presence throughout Chinese history. Beyond their appearance in both literature and paintings, their most enjoyable use is in tea drinking and Chinese medicine. Anjing Teas' Chrysanthemum flowers are the esteemed and highest quality 'Gong Ju' from the Yellow Mountains, equally praised for their gentle and delightful taste as they are for their wonderful effects on battling colds and flus.

Instructions: For gongfu-style tea tasting, first pour in the hot water halfway, then drop in roughly a tablespoon of leaves (usually about 6g for a regular-size Gaiwan or small glass). Then pour on the hot water again and let steep for 15-30 seconds. Decant and serve, or drink straight from the cup! Increase the steeping time gradually with each additional infusion.
