Our golden Chrysanthemum come from the same tea garden that our Huang Shan Mao Feng. We choose the biggest and the most tastefull. Traditionnaly the flowers are 1 or 2 cm, but these ones can become up to 10cm.
These flowers were harvested in July 2020 and put on to bamboo racks to dry in the sun until end of Summer. We sell them individually to introduce you to this typical chinese taste.
