Key Highlights:

• Traditional Scenting Techniques: "Xun Hua" is the process of layering tea leaves with fresh flowers, allowing the tea to absorb the floral fragrance over multiple rounds, creating a lasting aroma.
• Different Flowers Used: Flowers such as jasmine, osmanthus, gardenia, and rose are commonly used to scent green, white, and oolong teas. The combination creates a unique tea-drinking experience.
• Jasmine Tea: Known for its light, refreshing floral notes, jasmine tea is often scented multiple times for a stronger aroma. A seven-time scented jasmine tea, or "Seven Xun", is considered a luxury product.
• Quick Scenting Method: In contrast to traditional methods, steaming and heating processes are faster ways to infuse tea with floral scents but may result in less enduring flavors.
• Health and Culinary Use: Scented teas are not only enjoyed as a beverage but also have applications in traditional Chinese medicine and even in modern perfumes and skincare products.
