The origin of tribute chrysanthemum

One year, a terrible draught hit Huangshan, numerous people got sick with red eyes and painful heads and felt miserable. At that time a businessman doing business outside for years return to his hometown of Anhui Province and brought back chrysanthemum from Zhejiang Province, He asked them to use it to make tea and drink it. Few days later, people's eyes were cured，and thus chrysanthemum was widely cultivated. For easier storage and longer usage, many farmers specially dried the flowers. The flower cured of eye diseases during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, Qing dynasty. Therefore Anhui chrysanthemum became well-known and was respectfully called "tribute chrysanthemum".

Better finish drinking the tea in 1-2 months
