Three-Flower Tea (Rose, Chrysanthemum and Silk Tree Flower)

Why people make this tea

Life in a busy city can grind you down: tight deadlines, difficult relationships, the sense that there’s never quite enough air in the room. In traditional Chinese medicine, that pattern of pent-up stress — sighing a lot, feeling tightness in the chest or ribs, difficulty sleeping, a generally low mood — is associated with what practitioners call “liver qi stagnation.” This light, fragrant tea blends three flowers traditionally used to ease that pattern: rose for emotional movement, chrysanthemum for clearing heat and settling the mind, and silk tree flower buds for calming the spirit and easing insomnia. A cup after dinner is a gentle daily ritual that many people find genuinely settling.
