In recent two years, green health has become a new trend of urban life, and natural chrysanthemum tea has been more and more favored by urban white-collar workers, becoming the new favorite of white-collar petty bourgeoisie. As a white-collar worker in a modern city, it is inevitable to use the computer for a long time. The pace of life is fast, the pressure is high, the liver is easy to get angry, the toxins in the body accumulate, and the eyes are tired and dry. Natural chrysanthemum tea is a green and healthy drink, which is not only sweet and moist, but also helps to expel toxins from the body, maintain beauty, calm the liver and improve eyesight, and alleviate the harm of computer radiation to the human body. No wonder it is very popular among white-collar workers.

So what kind of chrysanthemum is the best?

Hehe, in fact, there is no best chrysanthemum, only the chrysanthemum that suits your taste and conditions best. I like to drink chrysanthemum tea since I was a child, and I have done a little research to help you compare the main chrysanthemums on the market.

First of all, there are two kinds of chrysanthemums in China, Huangshan Chrysanthemum (also known as Florists Chrysanthemum) and Hangzhou Chrysanthemum (also known as Hangzhou Chrysanthemum). These two kinds of chrysanthemums are quite different in origin, color, processing method and efficacy.

Let's talk about Huangshan Chrysanthemum, which originated in Shexian County, Anhui Province. According to legend, it was once used as a tribute medicine, so it is also called Florists Chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemum is mainly used as medicinal materials, but it is usually not used for daily health care. For example, during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, a serious pink eye was prevalent in the Forbidden City in Beijing. In the prescriptions of famous doctors in Beijing, Huangshan Chrysanthemum is the main medicine. Therefore, Huangshan Chrysanthemum is a kind of medicinal chrysanthemum with strong medicinal properties, and it is also the main raw material of many Chinese patent medicines.

In addition, compared with Huangshan Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum morifolium is mainly used as a daily health drink.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records that chrysanthemum "has the effect of dispelling wind and clearing heat, calming the liver and improving eyesight".

"Shennong Materia Medica Classic" also lists Baiju as the top grade, saying that it is "mainly used for dizziness, swelling and pain, eyes wanting to take off, tears wanting to come out, dead skin and rotten muscles, and rheumatism. Long-term service is beneficial to blood, intelligent human body and anti-aging. "

Modern medicine has also proved that Chrysanthemum morifolium contains a variety of ingredients beneficial to human body, with sweet taste and mild effect. Rich vitamin A is an important nutrient to protect eyes. Soaking chrysanthemum often can make people clear-headed and bright-eyed, especially for eye fatigue and dry eyes caused by excessive liver fire.

One thing you may not know is that although Chrysanthemum morifolium is titled "Hangzhou", it is actually native to Tongxiang, Zhejiang. Tongxiang is the origin of chrysanthemum. Tongxiang has a flat terrain, mild climate, suitable sunshine hours throughout the year, and unique geographical and climatic conditions are very suitable for the growth of Chrysanthemum morifolium, so the Chrysanthemum morifolium produced is sweet, pure and nutritious. Tongxiang has a long history of planting chrysanthemums. According to legend, Emperor Qianlong once designated the white chrysanthemum produced in Tongxiang as a royal tribute. Tongxiang has several famous brands of Chrysanthemum morifolium, the most famous of which are "Spring Chrysanthemum Industry", "Tongxin Food Factory" and "Donglixia Chrysanthemum Industry".

There are many kinds of chrysanthemum morifolium on the market, but they can be roughly divided into bulk chrysanthemum and boxed chrysanthemum.

Bulk chrysanthemums are the most common, big and cheap. Where did this bulk chrysanthemum come from?

Chrysanthemum morifolium in Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province is very popular in the market because of its excellent variety, delicate and moist taste and particularly good health care effect. Many other places, such as Sheyang, Jiangsu, Macheng, Hubei and other places, have introduced the original species of Chrysanthemum in Tongxiang and developed chrysanthemum planting on a large scale. Because of the large-scale seed value in these places, the output of chrysanthemum increased sharply, so a large number of bulk chrysanthemums poured into various places. However, although the variety was introduced from Tongxiang, due to the limitation of geography, climate and technical level, the characteristics of the produced "Chrysanthemum morifolium" have changed greatly, with dark color, poor taste and weak health care function, which is far from Tongxiang native chrysanthemum. Although the taste, marketing components and health care efficacy of bulk chrysanthemum are much lower than those of authentic Tongxiang Chrysanthemum morifolium, it is no harm for friends who are in financial difficulties to buy some to drink.

Another commonly used chrysanthemum is "Taiju", which is often a high-grade chrysanthemum product with independent packaging. The brand manufacturers Chunfa and Tongxin mentioned above mainly deal in this kind of "Taiju" products, which are named as "Taiju King" and "Tianyejuhai" respectively.

What exactly is chrysanthemum? Fetal chrysanthemum is actually a new variety made by picking and processing unopened chrysanthemums. Smart merchants named this bud-shaped Chrysanthemum morifolium as "Fetal Chrysanthemum", claiming that Fetal Chrysanthemum is the best quality product in Chrysanthemum morifolium ..... But this is actually a commercial behavior of smart chrysanthemum manufacturers.

Tongxiang has been producing Chrysanthemum morifolium for more than 300 years, and the product "Chrysanthemum morifolium" has only been available for 5 years. Everyone in Tongxiang knows that it was first developed by a manufacturer in Tongfu Township, because the profit was significantly higher than that of traditional products, and then manufacturers of all sizes flocked to monopolize the high-end boxed chrysanthemum market.

Under the smart operation of Zhejiang merchants, "fetal chrysanthemum" has aroused people's curiosity, and it is indeed a wonderful idea. But when it comes to marketing and health care, plants are generally tender and pitiful, and old ones are good. A thousand-year-old ganoderma lucidum and a hundred-year-old ginseng are more concentrated in the growth period, so the chrysanthemums that bloom are definitely more nutritious and healthy than the tender buds. Drinking chrysanthemums also pays attention to color, fragrance and taste. Because the chrysanthemum doesn't grow up, it can't present the legendary "Chiba Jade and Linglong" in the cup, but the real chrysanthemum is not only beautiful, but also more fragrant and pure. However, because the medicinal value of Chrysanthemum morifolium is relatively small, its taste is relatively light, which is suitable for some friends who like light taste.

Finally, I introduce a kind of "Runmu Chrysanthemum", which is a natural green tea chrysanthemum produced by Tongxiang "Chrysanthemum Industry under the East Fence", and I personally like it. Different from the lucrative "fetal chrysanthemum" used by other manufacturers, the "Runmuju" owned by "East Hedgehog" uses the white chrysanthemum variety with the best health care effect among Hangzhou chrysanthemums in Tongxiang. This kind of chrysanthemum has the best health care effect among Hangzhou chrysanthemums, and is especially suitable for the daily health care of modern white-collar workers. If it is used to clear the liver, improve eyesight and maintain beauty, it is best to use "Runmu Chrysanthemum". By the way, there is also a kind of chrysanthemum in this enterprise, which is similar to runmuju and is also a small white chrysanthemum. Slightly different, this chrysanthemum variety tastes sweeter and more refreshing, which is very suitable for careful tasting. However, the effect of nourishing liver and moistening dryness is slightly inferior to moistening chrysanthemum. it wont hurt you to try it

So, in a word: there is no best chrysanthemum, only the one that suits you best. If it is used for medical treatment, Huangshan Chrysanthemum should be chosen. If it is a daily health drink, it is best to choose Chrysanthemum morifolium. If the economic conditions are not good, it is also good to sell cheap bulk chrysanthemums. Friends with light taste can choose chrysanthemum morifolium, which pays more attention to nutrition and health care. For the purpose of nourishing the liver, moistening the eyes, expelling toxin and beautifying the face, you can choose Runmu Chrysanthemum or Dongli Chrysanthemum.
