More concentrated than our full-flower white Chrysanthemum, these pale yellow buds pack a savory punch of floral and spice. Known in its native China as taiju, this young form of chrysanthemum is harvested in mid-fall, and has been long used in traditional herbal remedies throughout Asia.

It’s naturally caffeine-free, and more full-flavored than many other flower infusions—great if you’re looking to explore beyond Chamomile. The sunny yellow liquor is sweet, with a silky texture, producing an irresistibly bright cup.

Country: China
Tasting Notes: herbaceous, white pepper, rich

The Best Relaxer I've Found!

This tea is fantastic! I generally judge an herbal tea on how much it relaxes me first, and on flavor second, and luckily this one hits on both accounts. When I feel like I'm going to have difficulty sleeping, this is my go-to tea, and it often helps. It's good for a couple infusions, but I'm usually too tired to brew it more than once. Especially if you like chamomile or the more standard chrysanthemum, this is worth checking out!
