Chrysanthemum, Cassia Seed and Lotus Leaf Tea

Why people make this tea

When Hong Kong summer heat becomes stifling, Nourilo reaches for this trio. Lotus leaf lifts the heaviness that humid, hot days leave in the body, chrysanthemum clears the kind of head pressure or dizziness that can creep in on hot afternoons, and cassia seeds — once lightly dry-fried in a pan — open up a gently nutty aroma and release compounds that modern research associates with supporting healthy blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and liver function. Together they make a tea that is not just therapeutic on paper but genuinely refreshing to drink.
