Honeysuckle, Jasmine, and Chrysanthemum Tea

Why people make this tea

A friend gave Nourilo a bag of premium Hangzhou chrysanthemum — he could smell the fragrance before even opening the packet. After brewing it alone the first day and noticing how clear-headed and refreshed he felt, he decided to add two companions: jasmine and honeysuckle. The result is a well-rounded, aromatic heat-clearing tea that works across several fronts at once. Chrysanthemum is one of the most trusted herbs for calming liver fire and easing eye strain; jasmine moves qi and soothes the mind; honeysuckle is a classical heat-toxin clearing herb that has been used for centuries for skin breakouts, sore throats, and internal inflammation. Together they form a tea that addresses many of the small complaints that come with city life and insufficient sleep.
