Flower Tea
Flower tea is a general term for tea made from flowers themselves, or from flowers combined with tea leaves. Some, like jasmine tea, transfer the scent of the flower into the leaf. Others are made by drying the flower, or the blossom of the tea tree itself, and brewing that.

This collection holds the second kind. Ancient tree tea blossom is plucked from tea trees several hundred years old, grown without pesticides or fertilizer, and then dried. It has a sweet, honey-like aroma of its own, separate from the leaf, and with age it develops a scent closer to pear.
The Damask rose here is the flower bud, grown in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is the same variety used in fine perfume, and the harsh desert climate gives the flower a dense aroma.
Jasmine tea, where the scent is transferred into the tea leaf, is gathered in the separate Jasmine Tea collection.
