Tongxiang Chrysanthemum Dried Pieces (Ju Hua)

Description

Tongxiang Chrysanthemum (Ju Hua)

Tongxiang chrysanthemum, known as Ju Hua in traditional Chinese botanical terminology, refers to dried chrysanthemum pieces commonly associated with the Chrysanthemum genus. It is a well-recognized floral material with a long history in traditional Chinese floral tea preparations and botanical blends.

Tongxiang Chrysanthemum Pieces Appearance

The dried pieces consist of partial floral segments with soft, slightly curled petals and a warm golden-yellow to pale amber hue. Each piece retains a delicate, lightweight structure with a matte finish, and the fragmented form allows for easy steeping and infusion in hot water.

Botanical Background

Chrysanthemum belongs to the Asteraceae (daisy) family, a large plant group defined by its composite flower heads made of many small florets. Tongxiang chrysanthemum is named for the Tongxiang region in China, an area historically linked to chrysanthemum cultivation for floral use.

Floral Tea & Botanical Applications

These dried chrysanthemum pieces are widely used in loose floral tea blends, either steeped alone or combined with other dried floral and botanical ingredients. They also work well in herbal infusion mixes and botanical crafting projects that call for dried floral material.

Storage & Care

Store in a clean, airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage helps preserve texture, aroma, and overall quality over time.
