What is Chrysanthemum Tea?

Brought over by early Chinese immigrants in the 1800s, Chrysanthemum tea has long been a part of Singapore’s tea culture. The dried chrysanthemum flowers were gently brewed in homes and small stalls—served warm or cooled over time, often poured from large kettles in humble kopitiams.

It is known as a simple, “cooling” tea, well-suited to Singapore’s hot and humid climate. Lightly floral, slightly sweet, and deeply comforting, a glass of chrysanthemum tea was never just a drink—it was a small ritual of relief on warm afternoons.

The blend is associated with:

• Floral aroma
• Refreshing character
• A calming drinking experience

This version keeps the tea simple, elegant and easy to appreciate.

What Does Chrysanthemum Tea Taste Like?

Instead of powders or flavourings, it goes back to whole chrysanthemum buds—the way it might have once been brewed decades ago.

Each bud slowly unfurls in hot water, releasing:

• A naturally gentle floral aroma
• A light, honeyed sweetness
• A clean, soothing finish

There is no need to overpower it. The beauty lies in its restraint.

Why This Chrysanthemum Tea is Different

Kopitiam Tales Chrysanthemum Tea returns to the roots of the ingredient itself.

Using chrysanthemum buds instead of processed extracts or flavourings, it reflects a more traditional brewing philosophy:

• Whole buds preserve the natural floral aroma and delicate sweetness
• A cleaner profile aligns closer to heritage herbal tea practices
• Less reliance on sugar allows the true character of the flower to shine

It is a simple tea done well.
