Chrysanthemum Goji Berry Flower & Herbal Tea
Light, refreshing, sweet and floral, the pairing of chrysanthemum flowers and goji berries is a classic go-to herbal combo for Chinese tea drinkers.
In China, drinks made by steeping things other than tea leaves are called “Hua Cao Cha” – which translates to “Flower & Herbal” tea.

Jenier World of TeasTea Thoughts Winter Countdown: Day 14
Hmm! I’m honestly not super familiar with chrysanthemum, and I suspect this is not the most high-quality place to start — but still fun! I was getting some kind of wet rag, chamomile notes when I sniffed the freshly brewed tisane, but thankfully there’s none of that in the cup. It’s mildly floral, with some hay notes, and then a cooling menthol effect at the end. Not sure I’m getting much from the goji berries, but maybe they’ll show up in my second steep!

Day 14 of the Tea Thoughts winter countdown box. Savory and lightly sweet, with a very mild goji note. Interesting cooling sensation after the sip, which I wasn’t expecting. I did the first steep at 3 minutes and that was a bit light for me, but this 5-minute second steep is working for me. I might try for a third…
ETA: Got a third solid steep out of this today.
Adventageddon Day 14
I bowl brewed this one.
I swear that between all these advents I’ve probably had more chrysanthemum in the last two weeks than in the rest of the year combined. Interestingly, I seem to be kind of growing a bit of a taste for it. The more cups I have the more I’m really appreciating that sort of black pepper sort of quality.
That said, I have to say that this one definitely didn’t seem to be as nice a quality as what’s been included by Inoki in their advent, and the goji berries in the little packet basically didn’t contribute jack shit flavour wise. But, I suppose there’s an argument to be made that maybe they have some functional benefits. Maybe.

Interesting! derk introduced me to good quality chrysanthemum tea, but I never considered it as being a blendable ingredient.
I’ve only had it straight, so I’m curious to try it in blends too!
