More concentrated than our full-flower white Chrysanthemum, these pale yellow buds pack a savory punch of floral and spice. Known in its native China as taiju, this young form of chrysanthemum is harvested in mid-fall, and has been long used in traditional herbal remedies throughout Asia. It’s naturally caffeine-free, and more full-flavored than many other flower infusions—great if you’re looking to explore beyond Chamomile. The sunny yellow liquor is sweet, with a silky texture, producing an irresistibly bright cup.
