Scented Teas
Scented teas are infused with varying aromas and natural flavorings to make then stand out in each cup. We offer several scented teas, including several styles of Jasmine teas and the ever popular Earl Grey tea blend. A majority of Jasmine teas are made with a pouchong, or semi-fermented tea base. Pouchong tea has reacted with the air for a shorter period of time than black teas and a longer period of time than green teas, creating a varying leaf style and taste from other tea categories. This type of tea is gently touched with Jasmine blossoms picked at the peak of their bloom. Earl Grey is a delicately scented blend of large leaf black teas and oil of Bergamot. Pearl Jasmine is a unique green tea that is hand rolled into tiny compressed balls.
China Jasmine Our standard Jasmine is a lightly fermented pouchong tea, gently touched with freshly picked jasmine blossoms from the Huang Mountain area of China. After repeated exposure to the tea leaves, the flowers are removed, leaving the exotically fragrant aroma behind. China Jasmine makes a sweet and easy drinking brew.

Downy Pearl Jasmine A rare tea produced by hand rolling green tea buds and silvery tips into a tight, pearl shape. The tea is then scented repeatedly with jasmine, creating a wonderfully fragrant bouquet. Upon brewing, each “pearl” unfurls to show the entirety of the tender tea leaves.
Rose Congou We have taken the finest China Congou black tea and blended red rose petals to make a delightful tea that yields a smooth and aromatic cup when brewed. This Chinese tea blend has a unique taste with lingering floral overtones that are sure to bring back memories of summer days gone by.
Yin Hao Jasmine This magnificently made and scented Jasmine is considered one of China’s finest teas. The finest pouchong tea is blended and scented with fragrant flowers and defies description with its smooth flavor and heady aroma. You will not want to waste a drop of this special tea.
