Three-Flower Honey Tea (San Hua Mi Cha)

Why people make this tea

The strains of lockdowns, uncertainty, and disrupted plans have left many people — especially younger adults — feeling anxious and low. When external circumstances feel out of our control, it helps to focus on what we can do: move a little, eat well, and seek connection. Nourilo suggests 30 minutes of daily movement, a diet that includes mood-friendly foods (dark chocolate, avocado, banana, nuts, green tea), and this gentle floral tea as everyday support. In traditional Chinese medicine, the low mood characterised by sighing frequently, difficulty concentrating, emotional restlessness, and a sense of being mentally foggy is often attributed to “liver qi stagnation” — and fragrant flowers are the classic remedy for it.
