Four styles available:

• Orange Peel: Orange peel delivers warming and uplifting energy and concentrated zesty citrus flavor. Considered “cooling” according to traditional Chinese medicine, orange peel is used to balance qi and support the digestive and respiratory systems.*

• Chrysanthemum Flower: Chrysanthemum flowers have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine for their detoxifying and cooling benefits.* They deliver a very refreshing and lightly sweet flavor with notes of honey. Their floral flavor is more subtle than that of rose or jasmine tea.
