Herbal Chrysanthemum Tea (菊花茶)
Report
Herbal chrysanthemum tea is flowery and refreshing. This non-caffeinated Chinese sweet tea replenishes your energy throughout the day without the spikes and jitters from coffee.
Do not drink this tea right before bed. Ginseng is a natural energy booster and it is good for keeping you energized throughout the day.
