Experience the finest chrysanthemum tea

In the alpine areas of Kunlun mountains in Xinjiang grow the finest chrysanthemums on Earth. The only wild chrysanthemum in the world that thrives in high altitudes, snow chrysanthemum is rare, with a short blooming season of 20 days and a very low yield. Once a year in August, this variety is hand-picked with flowers only two-thirds bloomed and sun-dried in the high-altitude mountain covered in snow, hence the name snow chrysanthemum.

Expect a sweet, bold, refreshing taste with intense fruit and spice flavors.

    A True Tea Lover's Delight

    Washington State's weather is exceptionally rainy, and Snow Chrysanthemum is perfect for a warm afternoon indoors. I followed the suggestions for steeping it although I do no own a Gaiwan, I improvised. My first sip was fruity and it was a pleasant sensation with no after taste or bitterness at all. My second cup is when the earthiness draped around me. It took me to the high mountains where the soil is dark and moist. By the third cup I tasted a light stout roasted flavor. I have had Chrysanthemum Tea before, but it was nothing like this. Truly a sacred tea, rich in color, smooth in taste, a tea I will come back to again and again.

    Mansa Snow Chrysanthemum Tea

    Drinking snow chrysanthemum tea for improvement of eyesight, as suggested by acupuncturist. I have only been drinking it for two months and need more time to see how well its effects work on my vision.

    Beyond that, the tea is delicate, fragrant, and of excellent quality.

    Large Full Blossoms

    This has become one of my favorite tisanes. The chrysanthemum blossoms are much larger than similar teas from other vendors that I've tried. The taste is full and gentle and contributes to the relaxing effects of the tisane. When I want to read in the evening, I enjoy a cup of Snow Chrysanthemum for the ultimate in relaxing and mellow mood. Delicious.
