Don't be fooled by these miniature counterparts to chrysanthemum flowers - they pack just as much flavor as their elders, are just as pleasant to enjoy and their youth adds an element of purity to their bright flavor and presence. The golden slightly green color hints at more earthy notes in this flower's flavor profile, which are harmonized by a slight sweetness and a slightly tart character. Add to raw pu-er or mix with stevia leaf for new ideas. This brew should not be over steeped and is useful for getting over a cold or for those who want a warm and satisfying tea alternative.
