Sophora Flower, Cassia Seed and Chrysanthemum Tea

Why people make this tea

Many of us who live a comfortable, Western-style life end up eating out a lot, leaning on rich, fatty, high-cholesterol and sugary food day after day. Over time that pattern is associated with the so-called “three highs” — higher blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipids. This little flower-and-seed tea is my easy daily companion for that: it is light, fragrant, quick to steep, and gentle enough that the whole family can enjoy it. It is also one of my favourite teas for tired, strained eyes.
