TONGRENTANG Monk Fruit Chrysanthemum Boat-fruited Sterculia Tea

Product Description

Monk fruit and chrysanthemum is one of the classic pairings in Chinese herbal tea, and this Tongrentang blend adds scaphium affine to it. monk fruit tea is naturally sweet without any sugar, which is what makes it drinkable on its own rather than needing anything added.

Siraitia grosvenorii, the monk fruit, provides that sweetness. Chrysanthemum flower brings a light floral note that most people know from Chinese restaurant tea, and scaphium affine, the third ingredient, is a seed traditionally used in Chinese herbal drinks. Together they make a herbal tea that is caffeine-free and mild enough to drink through the day.
