Experience Overview
Embrace the beauty of autumn and the art of seasonal wellness with an intimate Chrysanthemum Tea Tasting at Lan Su Chinese Garden. Surrounded by the garden’s vibrant fall colors and changing foliage, discover why the chrysanthemum has long been cherished in Chinese culture as a symbol of longevity, vitality, and scholarly integrity, as well as its connection to traditional wellness practices and harmonious living.
Hosted by Yun Shui Tea Master, Kelly, in the tranquil Painted Boat in Misty Rain (Boat House) pavilion, this special experience features fragrant chrysanthemum herbal tea and Wuliang Beauty Oolong paired with traditional Chinese treats, including hawthorn fruit rolls, sugared dried citrus, walnuts, and Chinese sunflower seeds, along with a special sip of non-alcoholic chrysanthemum wine.
With just eight guests per session, this limited-time tasting invites you to slow down, savor the flavors of autumn, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the season.
