This is my first foray into Chrysanthemum Tea so I’m not sure where to start. It was very strong, a little too strong but not bitter. It was in a way earthy, but nothing like the way ripe puerh is earthy. I was only guessing on the correct amount of Chrysanthemum flowers to use. Next time I try this I will use half as much in the way of Chrysanthemum. It was very flavorful, I will say that. I don’t think I would want to drink this everyday although a friend of mine at work loves the stuff, he is Chinese. I added a small amount of sugar to cut the flavor down a notch or two. I will go through the flavor list and see if any other than the obvious fit.
I brewed this once in a 1.5 liter teapot with 7.5g Chrysanthemum Flower and boiling water for 3 min.

Sounds interesting. I think I have some tea like this that I haven’t even tried yet. I’ll have to dig it out!
I bought it originally to add to ripe puerh but broke it out today because it is caffeine free. After tomorrow my three days of 5am will be over for a while and I can go back to puerh. It was good I just don’t know how to describe it. It’s not expensive.
Maybe I am building up a caffeine tolerance. I pu’erh into the evening and haven’t had any adverse sleeping effects.
Thanks for reminding me that I have yet to try the chrysanthemum blossoms I got from Mighty Leaf a while back…
