杭白菊，亦名小湯黃、小白菊，為桐鄉地區的特産。杭白菊在中國有悠久的栽培歷史。它經沸水沖泡後，水呈淺綠色，清香四溢，古時曾作貢品“杭白貢菊”一向與“龍井名茶”並提。杭白菊花瓣潔白如玉，花蕊黃如純金，有很高藥用價值和延年益壽的功效。

Chrysanthemum morifolium, also called Xiaotanghuang, feverfew, is a specialty of Tongxiang. It has a long history of cultivation in China. After Chrysanthemum morifolium is brewed by boiling water, the water is light green, fragrance overflowing. In ancient time, it was a tribute “Chrysanthemum morifolium” and always placed in the same category with “Longjin Tea”. The petals of Chrysanthemum morifolium are as white as polished jade, and the stamens are yellow, like pure gold. It has high medicinal value and the effect of prolonging life.

　　杭白菊一直以它的色香味形聞名，那麼杭白菊為什麼叫杭白菊，為何會加以“杭”字呢?這裡面可有一定的歷史淵源呢。20世紀20年代，浙江桐鄉的白菊花被當時的一位安徽茶商汪裕泰收購、包裝，打上“杭州西湖金倫茶菊莊”的標記，轉手銷往新加坡等南洋國家。南洋商人梁老闆收到汪裕泰發出的桐鄉菊花，親自品嘗了一番，覺得非常好，而且泡在杯中的菊花層層開放，甚是好看。於是在梁老闆的推廣下，杭白菊在南洋的需求量日增。雖然是桐鄉特産的白菊花，卻從此冠以“杭”字而揚名海內外。

Chrysanthemum morifolium has been famous for its color, aroma and shape. So why it is called “Hangbaiju”(the Chinese name of Chrysanthemum morifolium)? Why is “Hang” in its name? It has a certain historical origin. In 1920s, Chrysanthemum morifolium of Tongxiang, Zhejiang was acquired by Wang Yutai, a tea merchant. He packed it and labeled with “Hangzhou West Lake Jinlun Tea and Chrysanthemum House” and sold it to South Asia countries like Singapore. Boss Liang, a businessman of South Asia received the Chrysanthemum from Wang Yutai and tasted it, and felt very good. The Chrysanthemums in the cup opened layer upon layer and looked nice. So, in the promotion of boss Liang, the demand of Chrysanthemum morifolium in South Asia increased with each passing day. Although it was the Specialty of Tongxiang, it was crowned with “Hang” and famous at home and abroad.
