How To Brew

When brewing Golden Silk Imperial Chrysanthemum, it is best to use a transparent glass cup. Place one or two buds in each cup and steep in boiling water for 1-2 minutes before consumption. After half a minute of brewing, the water color gradually turns into a light yellow, clear and translucent, with a faint chrysanthemum fragrance.

Do not drink the entire cup at once; leave about one-third of the tea water and refill with new water. Let it steep for a while before drinking. Adding a few rock candies to the tea cup enhances the flavor. It is suitable for both hot and cold consumption, making it an excellent beverage for both winter and summer.
