Royal Golden Chrysanthemum
Golden Chrysanthemum, prized in traditional Chinese wellness practices, is celebrated for its delicate floral character and gentle properties. When steeped, the buds unfurl to release a naturally sweet aroma and a pale golden liquor.
This tea is traditionally valued for its cooling nature and is often enjoyed during warmer seasons. Many appreciate it as part of a daily ritual for its light, refreshing taste and the sense of calm it brings to an afternoon pause.
The flowers are hand-selected at peak bloom, then carefully dried to preserve their vibrant color and subtle fragrance. Each cup carries the essence of the chrysanthemum fields, offering a moment of natural simplicity.
Golden Chrysanthemum pairs beautifully with quiet moments—whether at your desk, in the garden, or during an evening wind-down. It is a tea that honors both tradition and the everyday pleasure of a thoughtful cup.
Tea Etiquette And Culture
What preparations do I need to make before drinking tea?
Start by warming your cup—rinse your teaware with hot water to cleanse it and awaken the tea's aroma. Select the appropriate water temperature and steeping time, as each tea variety has its own requirements for optimal flavor.
What are the rules when pouring tea?
What are the etiquette rules when pouring tea? The answer is the three-finger rule. Leave space equal to three fingers from the rim of the cup. This allows you to appreciate the tea's color while keeping your hands safe from heat. When pouring for others, always use your right hand as a sign of respect.
What is the correct posture for drinking tea?
Hold the cup gently and sip slowly. Tea appreciation follows the principle of "one sip to drink, three sips to savor"—take time to experience the aroma and flavor fully, without rushing to swallow.
Can you make a sound while drinking tea?
You can do this. When tasting tea, gently inhale to let the brew linger in your mouth, allowing you to fully appreciate the tea's complexity and layered flavors. This technique, known as "tasting," is considered a sign of respect for the tea in traditional tea culture.
What should I do if the teacup is empty?
If served tea at a teahouse or by someone else, gently tap the rim of your cup—this traditional "tea knock" expresses gratitude. When pouring for yourself, simply refill without ceremony.
