Roselle Chrysanthemum Tea (Luo Shen Hua Ju Hua Cha)

Why people make this tea

Nourilo picked up a jar of dried roselle — 60 g holds dozens of flowers, enough to brew many cups. Steeped, it turns a bright ruby red with a tangy, fragrant taste. In summer a cup is wonderfully thirst-quenching and traditionally “cools the heart and clears heat.” Roselle is rich in polyphenols and is associated with supporting healthy blood pressure, blood lipids and cholesterol, plus easing eye fatigue — handy for anyone who stares at a screen all day.
