The Tongxiang Advantage
Tongxiang in Zhejiang Province is the world-renowned origin of Hangzhou White Chrysanthemum (杭白菊), cultivated for over 400 years. The region's subtropical monsoon climate and fertile alluvial soil produce flowers with exceptional aroma and flavonoid content. Tongxiang chrysanthemum is a China Protected Geographical Indication product — the benchmark for premium quality.
Grading & Quality Standards
Chrysanthemum flowers are graded by bloom stage, color, and processing method. Top-grade (胎菊, Fetal Chrysanthemum): unopened buds, golden-yellow color, highest flavonoid content. Standard grade (朵菊): fully opened flowers, pale yellow. Key quality checks: no mold, moisture <10%, total flavonoid content >5%. Third-party pesticide residue testing is standard.

Fetal Chrysanthemum (top grade): $8–15/kg wholesale. Standard grade: $5–9/kg. Prices vary by harvest season (October harvest offers best value) and order volume. MOQ: 50kg. Bulk pricing available from 200kg. Organic-certified lots command 30–50% premium.
