When I bought this I thought I was getting 15 Tea Bags. That is not what I got. Each “teabag” was one loose chrysanthemum flower. I used five flowers to make one 16 oz cup of tea. Basically this tea is a rip off. The flavor is good, tastes like apples. I still don’t recommend this tea because it is not as sold.

I think that the point here is that Chrysanthemum tea in Traditional Chinese Medicine is a curative tea used for specific complaints. This particular flower is of very high quality, as compared to the possibly lower grade chrysanthemum flowers for tea found in Chinese pharmacies. This particular tea is packaged one flower per package because that is all that is needed for a curative and endless cup. Further, this flower is dried in such a way as to bloom in the cup, adding aesthetic appeal to the curative element. The flavour is light but healing.
IMHO, your experience with the tea is a cultural misunderstanding.
Interesting insight, Evol. It does make sense that a company like Teavivre would know what they are doing if they purposely packaged and marked their tea as they did.
Thanks for @Evol Ving Ness explanation.
Indeed, this huangju is the best of the best, which grows in high mountain ranges (1,400 m) far away from traffic and industry pollution and hand-made with traditional procedures. Compared with other ordinary varieties, it has a larger apperance with golden color and wonderful taste.
I’m sorry that the information on our site gave you a missunderstanding. I’ve already added some extra information to make it more clearly. Here is a brewing guide may helps you:
Teapot (tea cup): 260ml, one flower with 3 infusions, 10mins, 15mins, 20mins
Sorry again and we appreciate for your understanding.
