Rose and Jasmine (Su Xin) Flower Tea

Why people make this tea

Nourilo admits even he gets exasperated sometimes — and when he does, he brews a cup of flower tea to take the edge off. This rose-and-jasmine tea is a long-loved remedy for a tense, knotted feeling: in the traditional view it soothes the liver, moves stuck qi and lifts a stagnant mood. It is also associated with easing the bloated stomach and acid reflux that so often come when emotions get bottled up.
