Ingredient Highlight:
Chrysanthemum Flowers Chrysanthemum morifolium
Chrysanthemum flowers are mildly sweet with herbal honey notes and the lightest undercurrent of mint. It’s used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to treat respiratory problems, high blood pressure, hypothyroidism, reduce inflammation and calm nerves. Chrysanthemum provides a mildly cooling energy and its has a special affinity to the energetic channels that lead to the lungs, liver, spleen and kidneys. It is also recommended for reducing fever and cold symptoms in the early stages. I used Chrysanthemums in both my green teas (Secret Garden and Spring Sunrise) to accentuate the minty herbal notes and inject a bit of sunshine and calm.
