Tips

memory
(sweet) + (chrysanthemum-family flower) + (tea). Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) belongs to the same family (Asteraceae) as the chrysanthemum, so calling it 'sweet chrysanthemum tea' is botanically reasonable as well as descriptive of the taste.
culture
甘菊茶 is associated in Chinese marketing with European herbal-tea culture — calming, sleep-aiding, often sold in 花草 (huācǎochá, herbal flower tea) shops alongside (lavender) and 玫瑰花 (rose tea).
