Dried Chrysanthemum Flowers (Ju Hua) | (500g)

Ju Hua refers to fully bloomed chrysanthemum flowers, which have long been celebrated in Traditional Chinese Medicine for their cooling, harmonising nature. With their bright yellow colour and floral scent, these blossoms create a beautifully fragrant infusion with a smooth, slightly sweet flavour.

This herbal classic is commonly used to support the eyes, soothe the respiratory system, and relax the mind. Ju Hua can be enjoyed alone or as part of a wellness blend, both hot and cold, and even used topically or in cooking.
