Chrysanthemum Buds (胎菊)

Chrysanthemum, also known as "Gui hua," is a flower that is prized for its delicate appearance and sweet, floral flavour. It is a popular ingredient in traditional Chinese teas, particularly in the South, and is believed to have a number of health benefits. 

The tea is made by simply steeping the dried chrysanthemum buds in hot water, producing a light and delicate tea with a slightly sweet and floral flavour. Chrysanthemum Bud tea is can be enjoyed on its own, as its natural flavour is both light and refreshing but is also often combined with honey or rock sugar to give it more sweetness.

Chrysanthemum buds are often consumed for its soothing properties, and is believed to help alleviate headaches and eye strain, as well as improve digestion. It is also said to help regulate blood pressure and reduce stress.
