About Ssanggye Chrysanthemum Tea
This is a caffeine-free floral tea — chrysanthemum blossoms rather than Camellia sinensis leaves — so it is naturally free of caffeine. It pours a clear, golden cup with a gentle floral aroma and a light, clean finish, with no bitterness.
Each box holds 40 individually wrapped tea bags.
What's Inside
- 100% Korean Chrysanthemum Flowers
- Late-autumn chrysanthemum blossoms grown in Korea without pesticides — the only ingredient. (Not USDA Organic certified.)
- Naturally Caffeine-Free
- Because it is a flower tea, not a Camellia sinensis tea, it contains no caffeine — enjoy it any time of day, including the evening.
- Master-Crafted in Jirisan Hadong
- Prepared by Korean food master Kim Dong-gon (김동곤, 식품명인 제28호) in Jirisan Hadong, in a HACCP-certified facility — Korea's national food-safety standard.
How to Brew It
- Place 1 tea bag in a cup (about 7 fl oz / 200 mL) and pour just-off-the-boil water at about 195–212°F (90–100°C).
- Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, to taste. One tea bag can be steeped a second time.
- Enjoy it hot, or cool it and pour over ice for an iced cup.
- A little honey or a slice of pear rounds out the floral flavor. Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from light and odors.
What Makes It Different
This is a single-origin Korean flower tea: 100% Korean chrysanthemum grown without pesticides, made by a designated food master in Jirisan Hadong — not a blended or imported loose-flower tea. The 40 individually wrapped bags make it easy to brew a cup anywhere.
Sourced by Kosbee and shipped from our New Jersey warehouse, so you skip the long wait of overseas shipping.
Good to know: chrysanthemum is in the Asteraceae (daisy and ragweed) family, so if you have a related plant allergy, check with a healthcare professional before drinking. If you are pregnant or nursing, consult a professional as well.
Frequently Asked Questions

How do I brew chrysanthemum tea?
Place one tea bag in a cup (about 7 fl oz / 200 mL), pour water at about 195–212°F (90–100°C), and steep for two to three minutes. One bag can be steeped twice. Enjoy it hot or over ice, with a little honey if you like.
Are there any allergy notes, and is it caffeine-free?
It is naturally caffeine-free, since it is a flower tea rather than a Camellia sinensis tea. Chrysanthemum is in the Asteraceae (daisy and ragweed) family, so if you have a related plant allergy, or are pregnant or nursing, consult a healthcare professional before drinking.
How is chrysanthemum tea different from green or black tea?
Green and black teas are made from the Camellia sinensis plant and contain caffeine. Chrysanthemum tea is made from dried flowers, so it is naturally caffeine-free with a gentle floral aroma and a light, clean taste rather than a leafy or astringent one.
