Chrysanthemum flowers have been cherished in East Asia for centuries, both as a soothing herbal infusion and for their delicate beauty. When steeped, the blossoms release a light, floral aroma with gentle herbal undertones. The flavor is mildly sweet, slightly earthy and refreshingly smooth, with a natural cooling quality that makes it a popular choice for relaxation and wellness. Uses of Chrysanthemum Blossoms 1. Herbal Tea Infusion – Steeped on their own, they make a calming, caffeine-free tea with a delicate floral flavor and golden liquor. 2. Blending Ingredient – Often added to green tea, oolong, or herbal blends for aroma, color, and a soothing effect. 3. Culinary Uses – In some Asian cuisines, chrysanthemum petals are used in soups, broths, and festive dishes. 4. Traditional Wellness – In Chinese medicine, chrysanthemum tea (ju hua) has been used for cooling the body, supporting eye health, and easing stress. 5. Aromatic & Decorative – The blossoms look beautiful in clear glass teapots or jars, making them as much a visual treat as a flavor.
