Chrysanthemum Licorice Green Tea

Why people make this tea

Green tea has long been prized for its high catechin content — naturally occurring antioxidant compounds that are most concentrated in unfermented or lightly fermented teas. Chrysanthemum has been used in Chinese food-therapy for centuries to help clear heat from the upper body and soothe the throat. Paired with a touch of liquorice, which is traditionally considered balancing and soothing to the digestive system, this trio makes a pleasant and practical daily brew during the colder months or whenever respiratory bugs are going around. Nourilo keeps a stash of pre-made tea bags to take along while travelling.
