MagJo Naturals Chrysanthemum Flower Tea

I've had chrysanthemum tea both locally (NE Ohio) and in Bangkok. This comes no where close to what I've enjoyed before. This tastes like straw was steeped instead of flowers even though this is a bag of dried flower buds. The value for the amount of tea would be great, 5 star, if the product had a pleasant flavor. This does not compare with other chrysanthemum teas purchased locally or from other Amazon vendors, or enjoyed at local/international Thai restaurants. I brewed this according to package instructions and the instructions on another vendors packet and both ways it had nice color, but an offensive taste, like straw water.
