Chrysanthemum

by rosenkraftlos » Apr 23rd, '08, 21:52

I recently heard something about mixing chrysanthemum flowers into Pu Erh tea. Has anyone tried this?

Thanks

Yeah. It was all right, but not the best chrysanthemum and tea I've had. I would try it again sometime.

Many different things are added to Pu-erh. Personally, I have tried puerh with rose petals, stuffed in oranges, and the chrysanthemums. However, I must say that none are as delicious as high quality aged sheng. :wink:

Thanks.

I tried it, it's okay, not great, not horrible. To be honest I don't think I'm a huge fan of chrysanthemum.

I'll have to try it with rose petals and stuffed in oranges. How exactly do you stuff it in oranges?

I wouldn't recommend stuffing the oranges yourself. You wouldn't need to actually since they are very common.

Rosenkraftlos: before I googled your nick and found it to mean "rose of blood" in German, I thought it was a net version combination of two Swedish words, rosen and kraftlös ("the rose" and "without power"). Google is useful sometimes...

Thanks, I will have to buy some of those when I get the chance.

Interesting… when I created this account I was under the impression that rosenkraftlos meant "rose of blood" in German, however someone told me that it meant "strengthless roses". Perhaps it means both?
