Chrysanthemum is also an ideal and common choice for decorations in big events, such as festivals and meetings in autumn.

Moreover, it brings more than a visual feast, but an actual feast.

During the Double Ninth Festival, which takes place on September 9 on the lunar calendar, drinking wine made from chrysanthemum is a tradition.

Chrysanthemum tea is also very common on Chinese tables. Tasting great, it's also good for one's heath.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes chrysanthemum tea can help balance the internal heat.
