The difference between Gongju and white chrysanthemum

Both Hangzhou Baichrysanthemum and Huangshan Gongju are among the four famous chrysanthemums in China. They have the effects of clearing away heat, reducing fire, clearing the liver and improving eyesight. They can replace tea as daily chrysanthemum tea for brewing and drinking. They are one of the indispensable drinks at home, office, restaurant, teahouse and various clubs, and are also a kind of health tea that people like to brew for daily health care. Hangzhou white chrysanthemum and Huangshan tribute chrysanthemum have stable efficacy and moderate price, and are the most common drinking chrysanthemums. Although both can be used as medicinal chrysanthemums, there are certain differences in their efficacy, appearance, processing technology and taste.

1. The difference in the origins of Hangzhou chrysanthemum and Huangshan tribute chrysanthemum: Hangzhou chrysanthemum is originally produced in Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province (note that the origin of Hangzhou chrysanthemum is not Hangzhou), especially in Shimen Town, Tongxiang, where the planting area of ​​Hangzhou chrysanthemum is the largest and the production and processing factories are more concentrated; the origin of tribute chrysanthemum is She County and Xiuning area of ​​Huangshan, Anhui. Hangzhou chrysanthemum is generally planted on flat ground, while Huangshan tribute chrysanthemum mostly grows on slopes.

2. The difference in appearance between the flowers of Hangbai Chrysanthemum and Gongju: the blooming Hangbai Chrysanthemum has a dark center in the middle; the flowers of Gongju are basically petals with a very small center.

3. The difference in processing technology between Hangbai Chrysanthemum and Gongju: Hangbai Chrysanthemum is steamed and then dried, so it looks like a sticky cake; Huangshan Gongju is raw chrysanthemum made by directly drying fresh chrysanthemums, one by one.

4. The difference between the product varieties of Hangbai Chrysanthemum and Gongju: Hangbai Chrysanthemum has another product - Fetal Chrysanthemum: The buds of Hangbai Chrysanthemum that have not yet bloomed are directly dried after picking, and are generally called Fetal Chrysanthemum. Fetal chrysanthemum is the best quality among the chrysanthemums and is usually used as gifts. Steamed chrysanthemum is rarely used as a gift. Huangshan Gongju does not have fetal chrysanthemum products, but generally sells whole dried chrysanthemums in bulk. So when we talk about chrysanthemum, we usually mean a type of chrysanthemum from Tongxiang.
