杭白菊，亦名小汤黄、小白菊，为桐乡地区的特产。杭白菊在中国有悠久的栽培历史。它经沸水冲泡后，水呈浅绿色，清香四溢，古时曾作贡品“杭白贡菊”一向与“龙井名茶”并提。杭白菊花瓣洁白如玉，花蕊黄如纯金，有很高药用价值和延年益寿的功效。

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闻名，那么杭白菊为什么叫杭白菊，为何会加以“杭”字呢?这里面可有一定的历史渊源呢。20世纪20年代，浙江桐乡的白菊花被当时的一位安徽茶商汪裕泰收购、包装，打上“杭州西湖金伦茶菊庄”的标记，转手销往新加坡等南洋国家。南洋商人梁老板收到汪裕泰发出的桐乡菊花，亲自品尝了一番，觉得非常好，而且泡在杯中的菊花层层开放，甚是好看。于是在梁老板的推广下，杭白菊在南洋的需求量日增。虽然是桐乡特产的白菊花，却从此冠以“杭”字而扬名海内外。

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.
