Scented tea is a combination of tea fragrance and floral fragrance. Tea absorbs flowers, and flowers add tea flavor, which complement each other. It not only maintains a rich and refreshing tea fragrance, but also has a fresh and fragrant flower fragrance. The brewed product is smoky, fragrant, full of sweetness and refreshing. Scented tea not only has the efficacy of tea, but also has good pharmacological effects, which is beneficial to human health.
Jasmine tea is the most popular scented tea in the international and domestic markets. This is because the fragrance of jasmine is loved by people who drink scented tea, and it is known as the crown of roses, roses, orchids and other flowers that can be scented with scented tea. Jiang Kui, a poet in the Song Dynasty, praised the poem Jasmine: "If I study the history of flowers next year, it will be ranked as the first fragrance in the world."
The production of China scented tea began in the Southern Song Dynasty, with a history of 1000 years. The earliest processing center was in Fuzhou. Since12nd century, the scenting of scented tea has been extended to Suzhou and Hangzhou. In Ming Dynasty, Gu (1564- 1639) recorded in detail the fragrant flower varieties of scented tea and the method of making tea: "Jasmine, rose, rose, orchid, orange blossom, gardenia, radix aucklandiae and plum blossom can all be used in tea. When visiting flowers, those who pick half-scented and half-scented flowers must measure the amount of tea and pick flowers as tea. Too many flowers are too fragrant to escape the tea rhyme; Less flowers are not fragrant, but not beautiful. " Stop the tea for three times and weigh the flowers as soon as they stop. "However, the large-scale scenting of scented tea began in the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty (1851-1861), and the production of scented tea was more common in 1890. Scented tea is a unique tea in China. The main producing areas are Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu and other provinces. In recent years, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Guizhou and other provinces have also developed. Instead of Beijing, Tianjin and other tea-producing areas, in the peak season of floral fragrance, a large number of coarse scented tea are collected from tea-producing areas for processing, and its output is also increasing year by year. Scented tea products are mainly sold domestically, and have been exported to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Western Europe and Africa since 1955.
