Royal Chrysanthemum (菊花)

Royal Chrysanthemum | (菊花) | Summer 2026

The latest batch of our signature flower tea - freshly harvested from Southeast China! Now with larger, vibrant flowers (golden silk varietal), and stronger, traditional chrysanthemum flavor.

A beloved East Asian symbol of Autumn and nobility, this tea brews a refreshing cup reminiscent of gentle florals, earthen honey, & a cool pine finish.

Made with full, mature blooms - each pouch offers traditional charm and a veritable mini-garden that unfurls in your teapot. A lovely gift for anyone...including yourself!

We were so happy to finally add this to our core menu; not only is chrysanthemum one of Moonlit's favorite, traditional teas, but it also just feels really nice handing people a "bouquet" of golden flowers :)

For a standard 12oz house cup, we recommend steeping only 4g of flowers in 170-175°F water for 3.5-4 minutes (double this time on 3rd & 4th steep)

Stir gently if needed to submerge the dry blossoms, and make sure to rebrew - you can enjoy 3-4 cups of strong tea every sitting!

Certain prior harvests may prefer slightly different brew recipes instead - but will be instructed as such on your Moonlit bag!
