More about Gardenia Oolong
Our Gardenia Oolong uses the renowned Jin Xuan Oolong tea paired with hand-picked Gardenia buds as the material, precise proportions and staged process improvements are applied. Through the use of alternating cold and hot scenting techniques, the gardenia fragrance is infused into the Oolong tea. The tea liquor has a bright yellow color, with a rich and sweet taste, along with a delicate and elegant floral fragrance and tropical fruit aroma, challenging your imagination and experience of floral tea. During the production process, some gardenia flowers are kept in the tea leaves. The tea leaves are purely natural without adding any essential oils.

About scented technique:
The "scenting" technique is blending fresh flowers with tea leaves in appropriate proportions, using the strong absorption characteristics of tea to absorb the fragrance of the flowers, allowing the tea leaves to carry the floral aroma. The flowers are then removed, and the tea leaves are dried to become scented tea. During the long scenting process, the aromas of tea and flowers blend together to create a delicate and unique aroma.
Cheap scented teas often mix dried flowers into the tea leaves, with a flat taste, where the floral aroma remains floral and the tea aroma remains tea-like, and the aroma diminishes after one brewing. Some may reuse the same ingredients for scenting, resulting in a faint floral aroma that cannot be considered true scented tea. Low-quality scented teas may add synthetic fragrances, giving off a chemical smell, quickly losing aroma after brewing, potentially causing nausea if consumed in excess and negatively impacting health. Therefore, it is important to carefully select the quality when choosing scented tea.
