Chrysanthemum Flower Tea Introduction

Chrysanthemums (also known as mums or chrysanths) are a type of flower that originated in China. As of today, there are hundreds of different chrysanthemum varieties and cultivars. Thanks to great taste and health benefits, chrysanthemums are used to reduce pollution (according to the NASA Clean Air Study), in cooking, tea blends, and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

It was cultivated in Asia for centuries, dating back to 15th century BC, but chrysanthemum has been brought to America in the 18th century. Drinking chrysanthemum tea is a long lasting Chinese tradition that dates back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279). The flowers bloom in autumn and are handpicked, dried and then ready for brewing.

Chrysanthemum is not only popular as an aromatic herbal tea, it also has an important role in history, art, and spirituality. In Chinese art, it is a famous part of the Four Gentlemen (plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum,). These four plants have been drawn since The Song Dynasty which was hundreds of years ago and represent the four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and autumn. These amazing flowers are also the stars of many Chinese poems and are so popular that there are festivals held in its honor.

There are also many interesting symbolical references of the chrysanthemum tea and it has different meanings in different parts of the world. It even has its own month – November. This flower is thought to bring joy during the autumn months and remind us that cold weather doesn’t have to be so gloomy and depressing. In China, it represents friendship, stability, longevity, and luck. You would give it to a friend to whom you wish only the best. In Japan, it was brought over by the Buddhists and quickly became the flower of the royal family and the Emperor. That’s why it is tied to ruling, nobility, and honor there. It is interesting that in some European and US countries, the flower is most famous for the All Saint’s Day usage. This is maybe because the blooming coincides with that time of the year, but it definitely has some symbolical value. In the East, it was considered to bring longevity and content in life as well as the afterlife.

Chrysanthemum is also an important flower for meditation and it is believed to calm you down and connect you to your inner being. It is a very important benefit that this tea provides because many of us are sometimes hardly coping with the busy and noisy city life.
