Scented Teas

Green, Oolong, and Black teas are all used to make scented teas, tisanes, and tea infusions. The additional flavorings are mixed with the processed leaf as a final stage before the tea is packed. For Jasmine tea, whole jasmine blossoms are added to green or black tea, for Rose Pouchong or Rose Congou, rose petals are blended with China or Formosa oolong or black leaf. Fruit-flavored teas are generally made by blending the fruits’ essential oils with the processed tea.

Herbal, fruit, and flower tisanes and infusions that do not contain any product of the Camellia snensis should not be confused with scented and flavored teas. These herbals are not teas and should therefore not be labeled as such.
