The Experience

Picture a field of fragrant wild flowers near a mountain village; the skies are clear, the autumn wind starts to cool the earth. Now add water to your glass teapot and watch those chrysanthemum flowers reveal their beauty. The brew will have a delicate flavour and a soft, long-lasting aroma. This tea is perfect to finish your day, relax in a spa, or simply meditate.

Well Being

The fertile soil of Mount Yu San Jian yields the wild flowers held in this pack. In Chinese traditional medicine, this herbal tea is believed to detoxify the body, quench thirst and aid relaxation.

Tea Masters Zhan Zimei and Wen Xinzgou

Zhan Zimei and her husband Wen Xinzgou live in a remote mountain village, very close to China’s celebrated Yellow Mountain. For many generations their lives have been linked to the harvest of wild chrysanthemum flowers.

Tips for a multi-sensorial tea experience

Pre-warm a 200ml glass teapot and cups with hot water; empty the pot. Place 2 teaspoons of chrysanthemum flowers in the pot. Gently pour on water, which is between 75°C and 80°C. Steep until the flowers hydrate and start to slowly drop to the bottom of the pot. Serve the tea in the pre-heated cups, using a strainer if needed, but allow at least one flower to be served in each cup.
