Ingredients: 100% Whole Golden Silk Chrysanthemum Blossoms
 
Golden Silk Chrysanthemum is one of China's most prized flowering herbals, celebrated for its exceptionally large blossoms, brilliant golden petals, and naturally sweet floral character.
 
Each flower is harvested at peak bloom and gently dried whole to preserve its vibrant appearance, delicate fragrance, and full-bodied flavor.
 
When infused, the blossoms slowly unfurl into a stunning display, producing a clear golden liquor with notes of wildflower honey, chamomile, fresh hay, pear, and soft melon. The infusion is smooth, naturally sweet, and remarkably refreshing with almost no bitterness.
 
Highly regarded in Chinese tea culture, Golden Silk Chrysanthemum is enjoyed both as a soothing herbal infusion and as a companion to traditional teas.
 
It pairs particularly well with aged white teas, sheng pu-erh, shou pu-erh, and red teas, adding floral sweetness while softening bitterness and enhancing the overall drinking experience.
