The Longevity Herb

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Chrysanthemum was considered a valuable "Longevity Herb." It was historically consumed to promote vitality, improve vision, and maintain a calm inner balance. It was a staple in royal courts and among scholars seeking clarity and sustained health.

Traditional Uses

Its primary use was to "clear heat" from the body, making it a natural remedy for cooling the system, soothing tension, and promoting detoxification. Its rich history makes it one of the most respected botanical beverages in the world.

Symbolism

Beyond health, the Chrysanthemum symbolized enduring vitality and elegance, cementing its place in art and ceremony across Asia.

Modern Science Confirms

Chrysanthemum is rich in antioxidants and essential minerals. Drinking it regularly has been linked to supporting cardiovascular health and reducing inflammation, validating its historical reputation as a health tonic.

The Caffeine-Free Focus

Unlike traditional teas often used in the afternoon, Chrysanthemum is naturally caffeine-free. This makes it the perfect guilt-free sip to boost alertness and clarity during the midday slump without disrupting sleep or causing jitters.
