Here's the kind of tea which I truly enjoy after a heavy meal. The tea is Pu'er with Chrysanthemum (普洱茶和菊花). According to scientific studies Pu'er teas have many health benefits and is the perfect tea after a heavy meal, Pu'er tea helps relieve any indigestion and aids in the digestion of fatty foods. It also cleanses the blood, lowers cholesterol and triglycerides, help with weight control. Husband and I usually will make a pot of either Pu'er or Tie Guan Yin (铁观音) tea to aid our digestion after our meals. 
Occasionally, we will go for an elaborate Gong Fu tea ceremony with our tea accessories which I started the collection few years back(and the numbers keep adding whenever I encounter nice and cute tea sets). It is a very enjoyable thing to do especially with a group of friends chit-chatting.

I've bought a tea pot....but still have not get Pu'er and Chrysanthemum....Any idea how to choose the chrysanthemum? Where can get good and nice pu'er tea leafs?
Please advice....PT
I usually buy my chrysanthemum at HockHua, those prepacked kind. You can try and check it out. As for tea, my supply comes from hubby's friend in China. Maybe you can go to tea house and buy some.
chrysanthemum, there are a lot of varity. How we know which one to choice?
Just don't buy those for herbal tea. Tell the shop you want to use for flower tea, they will know which kind to get for you. Enjoy!
Is there any ratio? eg. 1(tea):2(chrysanthemum)
Well...the portion is up to individual tastes and requirments.
