'Nope this isn't Chamomile tea,it's Chrysanthemum Tea The manners and virtue of the 'Chrysanthemum flower' drank
for tired eyes in Asia. The flowers are dried, light and golden. The wild chrysanthemum is a leafy perennial, herbal plant that has clusters of daisy-like flowers on its crown. As a tea it is light yellow in colour with a floral aroma and taste. Did you know? According to a NASA Clean Air Study, he plants of chrysanthemum have been shown to reduce air pollution. In China traditional culture, Chrysanthemum flower is seen as a flower that represents maturity and far implied meanings. Its literature records appeared as early as to Spring Autumn Period 3000 years ago, like the ancient literature of classic Er Ya, a book about expression in manners. I truly wish even more clinical research was done on these wonderful botanics, for there's an abundance of benefits tied to this flower still not proven. So visit your local China Town or store and pour a pot to see some clarity :D'
