Dried Chrysanthemum Flower Buds (Tai Ju) | (50g)

Tai Ju, which are the unopened buds of the chrysanthemum flower, are a genuine delight in traditional Chinese herbalism. We harvest them just before they bloom to make sure their delicate aroma and natural compounds are at their peak. These little buds are often infused into soothing teas and are particularly well-known for their subtle, cooling properties.

The small, compact size gives them a lighter, more refined flavour than a full chrysanthemum flower. Tai Ju is a firm favourite for its gentle support to the eyes and its wonderfully calming effect on the body and mind. It's the perfect choice for anyone looking for a more nuanced herbal experience.
