Scented Teas

Scented – Scented, as the name implies, refers to the presence of a fragrance imparted through temporary contact or exposure to the smell of flowers or other aromatic plants.

After the overthrow of the Mongols in China, the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) the main forms of tea that we know today. Black, oolong and green became prevalent.

Another type of tea became into existence: scented tea. The Ming were most obsessed with flowers and it showed in their painting, porcelain, embroidery and epic writings to name a few examples. It was only natural that flower scented teas were created at this time. Scenting teas was not new, as previous emperors had costly essential oil scented teas, but flowers were more easily and readily abundant. Lotus, osmanthus, orchid, gardenia, orange, rose, jasmine and other flowers, smoke and fruits are used to create some of the most famous and popular scented teas.

The G. S. Haly Co.’s assortment of scented teas focuses on the classical varieties and uses exceptional quality base teas.

5201 Dragon Phoenix Pearl

Origin: Funding, Fujian, China
Case Weight: 11 lbs
Kosher: Yes
Scented: Yes

Tea enriched with the fragrance of jasmine flowers has been a favorite since the Sung Dynasty, about 800 years ago. Dragon Phoenix Pearl gets its name from the visual characteristics of the tea bushes "climbing" the hillsides like a Dragon coming out of the water. The tea is grown in an area in Fuding City near the border of the Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. The area is mountainous and is often shrouded in clouds or fog. The tea is picked in April/May and processed by hand by rolling each leaf and a bud into tiny pearl size balls. Once rolled, the tea is wrapped in silk mesh and dried by fire to set the form. The tea is then held until August/September when the finest jasmine blossoms are in bloom. The jasmine flowers are picked before noon and set-aside until evening when the petals begin to open in the cool night air. Once open, the "marrying" of the jasmine to the tea happens in two applications after which the jasmine petals are removed. According to analysis done by Chinese researchers, Dragon Phoenix Pearl has a higher concentration of Vitamin C and Amino Acids than other teas. This is unquestionably one of the finest jasmines shipped from the port of Fuzhou.
