Mint & Chrysanthemum Tea | Cooling Detox, Eye Relief & Stress Calm | Herbal Tea with Mulberry Leaf

🌿 Mulberry Leaf (Sang Ye)

One of the most respected cooling herbs in TCM. Mulberry Leaf is used to dispel Wind-Heat — the TCM pattern behind headaches, eye redness, and that pressured feeling you get after long screen sessions. Modern research also shows it contains compounds that support healthy blood sugar and eye health.

🌸 Chrysanthemum (Ju Hua)

Chrysanthemum is the classic TCM herb for eye health and heat-clearing. For generations, people across China and Japan have brewed chrysanthemum tea specifically to rest tired, strained eyes and calm an overheated mind. It's also a gentle mood stabiliser — easing irritability that comes with mental fatigue.

🌱 Peppermint (Bo He)

Peppermint is the immediate cooling agent in this blend. The menthol compounds act within minutes — opening airways, clearing the sinuses, and bringing a refreshing mental alertness that cuts through the afternoon fog. In TCM, Bo He also disperses Liver Qi stagnation — the physical tension that builds up when you've been sitting still and stressed for hours.

🍊 Tangerine Peel (Chen Pi)

Tangerine Peel is the grounding note in this otherwise cooling formula. It prevents the blend from being too cold (important in TCM — extreme cooling can suppress digestion) while activating Qi movement through the digestive system. It also adds a warm, sweet citrus aroma that makes every cup feel like a moment of genuine care.

Within 10–15 minutes, the peppermint opens your airways and lifts the mental fog. The cool, clean aroma alone is enough to reset your focus after a long stretch at your desk. Eyes feel noticeably less dry and strained.

With daily use, the chrysanthemum and mulberry leaf begin their deeper work. Eye irritation and redness reduce. Afternoon headaches become less frequent. The overall sense of heat and tension in your head and neck starts to ease.

The cumulative cooling and Qi-dispersing effects show up as better mental clarity throughout the day, less irritability, and a general sense of feeling less "stuck" in your head. Many customers replace their afternoon coffee entirely with this blend.

Is this tea specifically for people who use screens all day?

It's a great fit — the chrysanthemum and mulberry leaf combination is one of the most traditional TCM remedies for eye strain and "liver heat" caused by prolonged visual work. But anyone experiencing internal heat symptoms (irritability, headaches, dry eyes, hot flushes) will benefit, regardless of screen time.

Does it contain caffeine?

No — this blend is 100% caffeine-free. The alertness you feel comes from the cooling and Qi-moving effects of peppermint and the other herbs, not stimulation. It's perfectly safe to drink in the evening if you're feeling overheated before bed.

Can I drink this hot and cold?

Both work beautifully. Hot: the steam carries the mint aroma directly to your sinuses for immediate effect. Cold-brewed or iced: pour over ice in summer for a genuinely refreshing experience — the chrysanthemum floral notes shine even brighter chilled.

What does it taste like?

Light, cool, and floral — with a clean minty freshness upfront, a delicate chrysanthemum sweetness in the middle, and a warm citrus finish from the tangerine peel. One of our most approachable blends for tea newcomers.

Is this suitable for children?

The herbs are naturally mild and caffeine-free. However, peppermint is not recommended for children under 2 years old, and we always suggest consulting a paediatrician for children under 6. For older children and adults, this is one of the gentlest blends in our range.
