In North Korea, the production of chrysanthemum tea relies heavily on local mountainous regions where the climate provides a natural advantage for cultivation. However, the industry currently faces a gap between raw cultivation and pharmaceutical-grade processing standards, often relying on traditional air-drying methods.
The demand for fruit flower tea has seen a rise in urban centers, shifting from simple home-brewed remedies to a structured pharmaceutical approach. This transition requires precise temperature control and moisture regulation to preserve volatile oils and active medicinal compounds.
Despite the abundance of raw materials, the lack of advanced vacuum-drying and sterilization equipment limits the export quality of local mum tea. There is an urgent need for integrated processing lines that can maintain E-E-A-T principles in herbal manufacturing.
