Chrysanthemum Tea: From Garden to Tea Cup | Health Benefits + Growing & Drying flowers for tea

- Chrysanthemums are beautiful. In autumn, they are especially exuberant and heaping with flowers. But they’re not only aesthetically pleasing in the garden, they also make healthy herbal beverage.
These flowers are popular in Chinese medicine - a way to cool down the body especially in hot summer days. No wonder I see a lot of tetra packaged chrysanthemum teas in Oriental groceries.
I did not mean to plant and harvest the chrysanthemums for tea. Back in the spring, I started a new garden in the backyard. I wanted some perennials so that I know they’d be flowers that will (hopefully) come back year after year. Something to plant under the roses. The chrysanthemums were sold in a hardware store plant section, in 2.5 inches pots and marked “perennial”. So I grabbed a few pots
It took me two weeks to plant them outdoors from the time I brought them home from the garden Center; and the chrysanthemums took their sweet time growing. It wasn’t until end of summer that buds started to show. That’s okay, the roses were growing nicely and were stars of the show. When the roses begin to fade, the chrysanthemums planted underneath started to burst in blooms. They are lovely!
One day, I happened to have the uncomfortable cold sore. In scouring the internet, I came across the benefits of Chrysanthemums. Goodness! What cultivar do i have? I ran to the backyard to check on the label. Blessings indeed, it is the exact cultivar used for teas. Time to bring that body temperature down, I harvested plenty of flowers for tea. Memories of my first experience of this tea made me nostalgic.
Use the flowers with some tea (green, oolong, black); add some dried roses too! Sweeten with your favourite sweetener if you wish but these flower tea taste good without them. If you wish for a little sweetness, add some goji berries. Yum! Yum!
Here is my experience on fresh chrysanthemums in tea as well as dried. I hope you enjoy this video.

Welcome to Delightful Souvenirs from the Garden, a collection of gardening moments and experiences. Thank you for coming to learn and garden with me. I hope you enjoy yourself. My name is Maiah, an amateur gardener. My little garden is located in the North (New Brunswick Canada). Our summers are very short (100-110 days a year) and the temperatures can go down to minus 20 (even -30) degrees Celsius in the winter. The fleeting time makes every moment in the garden special. This vlog is meant to collect those delightful moments in the garden as keepsakes and remembrances of lessons learned.
Thank you for gardening with me, I hope you enjoy yourself.
Happy gardening!

i love this. I bought some chrysanthemums for some autumn flowers, but next year i will try this perennials too so i can get tea.
Very nice calming video. Enjoy ed the process and soothing visuals :)
"Drinking potpourri" hahaha i like his description! and toasty chrysanthemum tea looks ~ aesthetic ~ like insta posts hehe
The flowers in the garden looks so beautiful. But you are right, it is equally delightful to enjoy the chrysanthemums as tea. I would also believe that the drying process of flowers to tea is quite therapeutic. Keep up the good work.

This is exciting chrysanthemum tea. I would love to try it. I like that you grew the flowers yourself and now enjoying the flowers of your labor.

Wow
Thank you for the beautiful video. I grow chrysanthemum too and I am so happy to come across your video. Can you tell me how long you dehydrated the fresh flowers and at what temperature ? Thank you .
flowers is the medicine of a dying soul. you can feel the lighter feeling and emotions with in.
wow, the chrysanthemums bloomed quite well. if you planted it early enough, i wonder if it would have bloomed in the spring too. regardless, you have a great harvest. how does the tea taste like?
they bloom in fall, when the days get shorter
Wow buying them is worth it kase you can drink it and it's good for the health. I know someone who loves tea and everytime he's travelling to Turkey or Paris he's always bringing tea with him each time he comes home. And I saw this flowers with the tea, but they are mixed with other flowers and seeds.
And as I'm always saying, I really really love your garden. It's like u have everything in there!!
But the process takes time noh? You harvested it, dried it and blend??
Yes takes a long time from planting to harvest. But that’s part of the fun. It’s quite fulfilling to watch things grow. And savouring the final products- the fruits is quite a bonus!
That is a person after my own heart, hehe. I love tea! This can be bought from the Asian supermarket too and they’re not very expensive. But planting and harvesting them is an adventure that cannot be equaled by simply buying them. I guess you could say: “it’s the sentiments of a gardener.” 😁
Thank you for enjoying the garden with me. Much appreciated.
Wow, didn't know they are "drinkable" as tea, let alone edible! But the flowers are "sayang". They're so beautiful! 😊😊
antidote to anxiety? it looks very relaxing indeed to be washing those little flowers like that and preparing them for drying. They all look beautiful. Sa unang tingin, isip ko, daming trabaho naman, pero if youre attitude is relaxation and you take your time, it does seem relaxing.
How does the chrysanthemum tea taste like?
Can you help with some seeds , from all the colors, please?
I didn’t even know they’re edible until I saw this video
