Scented tea is a type of tea found only in China. It is not simply tea mixed with flowers. Through a traditional scenting process, fleeting floral aromas are gently absorbed into tea leaves, giving the tea a completely new aromatic character and flavor expression. China has a rich variety of scented teas. Jasmine, rose, Daidai blossom, pearl orchid, osmanthus, and many other flowers have long been used in this craft. In this guide, we introduce ten of the most common and beginner-friendly Chinese scented teas. We hope this overview helps you better understand Chinese floral teas and appreciate the quiet charm they carry. 1. Gardenia Black Tea The use of gardenia flowers in scented tea dates back to the Southern Song Dynasty, as recorded in Tiaobian Leiben. At that time, this tea was enjoyed mainly among scholars and literary circles. In modern tea making, the traditional gardenia scenting technique has been paired with Yunnan black tea(Dianhong), giving rise to what is now known as Gardenia black tea. This tea brings together the fresh, expressive aroma of gardenia and the natural sweetness of Dianhong. On the first sip, floral notes open gently on the palate, followed by the mellow sweetness and soft fruit tones of black tea. The finish feels clean and refreshing, with a pleasant returning sweetness in the throat. After drinking, the floral fragrance lingers, while the tea offers both palate-cleansing and gently uplifting qualities.

Pearl Orchid Green Tea (Zhulan) Pearl orchid, also known as tea orchid, has a long history in Chinese scented tea. According to the She County Gazetteer, its use began during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. By the late 19th century, pearl orchid tea had become one of China’s major scented teas. Together with jasmine, it gave rise to the saying “jasmine in the south, pearl orchid in the north,” and was regarded as a refined tea among scholars and cultural figures. This pearl orchid green tea comes from She County in Anhui Province. High-quality Huangshan Maofeng is used as the tea base and scented twice with fresh flowers. The pearl orchid softens the flavor, leaving the liquor light and clean, without the bitterness often found in green tea. A gentle sweetness emerges instead. The aroma feels calm and understated, carrying a cool, slightly sweet floral note reminiscent of orchids growing in a quiet mountain valley. Compared with jasmine tea, it is more restrained, yet its fragrance lasts long in the cup. If you’re interested in Pearl Orchid Green Tea, feel free to click the image or the link to learn more>> 3. Daidai Blossom Green Tea Daidai blossom comes from a variety of bitter orange. Its flowers carry a bright aroma reminiscent of fresh lemon peel, layered with soft orange blossom notes. Traditionally, daidai blossom has been used both as a medicinal ingredient in Chinese herbal practice and as a flower for scented tea. In Bencao Shiyi, it is described as helping ease tension, support digestion, and regulate the stomach. By the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, tea scented with daidai blossom had already become a tribute tea served to the imperial court. This Daidai blossom green tea is produced in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province. Spring-picked tea ranging from single buds to one-bud-one-leaf is used as the base. The addition of Daidai blossom brings a gentle sweetness that softens the bitterness often associated with green tea, creating a more balanced and layered profile. The liquor tastes fresh and lively on the palate, with a clear sweetness emerging in the finish. Citrus fruit notes blend with floral fragrance and the natural freshness of green tea, forming a rich and long-lasting aroma. It is especially enjoyable after meals. If you’re interested in Daidai Blossom Green Tea, feel free to click the image or the link to learn more>> 4. Pomelo Blossom Oolong Tea Pomelo blossom oolong was born from an unexpected discovery. Tea master Zhang Guoxiong once scattered fresh pomelo blossoms over oolong tea by chance. After resting overnight, the brewed tea revealed an intense and surprisingly elegant pomelo blossom aroma. This moment sparked years of focused experimentation, and in 2007, the first batch of pomelo-scented Qilan Oolong was successfully produced on a larger scale. Pomelo blossoms bloom for only 15 to 20 days each year, which makes this tea particularly rare. This pomelo blossom oolong uses Baiya Qilan from Pinghe County as the tea base, scented twice with fresh pomelo blossoms. Bright citrus fruit notes of pomelo blossom intertwine with the natural orchid fragrance of Baiya Qilan, creating a layered and harmonious aroma. The liquor feels smooth and lively, with a light sweetness developing mid-palate. After swallowing, a clear returning sweetness rises in the throat, followed by a long, gentle finish. The overall impression is soft and well balanced, carrying a calm, grounded character reminiscent of mountain landscapes. Suitable for all seasons, this tea works especially well as an everyday companion. If you’re interested in Pomelo Blossom Oolong Tea, feel free to click the image or the link to learn more>> 5. Sticky Rice Aroma Black Tea  Fresh flowers are not the only ingredients used in the scenting tradition. Aromatic leaves also play an important role. Sticky rice aroma black tea is a lesser-known specialty from Yunnan, made by scenting black tea with nuomi xiang leaves. Among ethnic groups such as the Dai and Hani, these leaves have long been used in cooking, herbal remedies, and tea making. This sticky rice aroma black tea is scented with nuomi xiang leaves and Dianhong black tea. Once brewed, a warm and natural sticky rice fragrance rises from the cup, clean and comforting rather than overpowering. On the palate, the tea feels smooth and rounded, with the gentle sweetness of black tea unfolding without bitterness or rough edges. The liquor has a rich texture and a bright orange-red color, creating a sense of warmth and ease. It is especially well-suited for drinking during autumn and winter. If you’re interested in Sticky Rice Aroma Black Tea, feel free to click the image or the link to learn more>> 6. Osmanthus Black Tea The pairing of osmanthus and tea dates back to the Song Dynasty, when it was already enjoyed among the imperial court and scholars. Over time, osmanthus became one of the most widely used flowers in the scented tea tradition. This Osmanthus black tea is scented with fresh baoxin osmanthus, often called the “royalty of osmanthus” for its exceptional quality. Compared with common osmanthus, these blossoms are larger, thicker, and more aromatic, with a fragrance that lasts longer. Only one round of scenting is needed for the floral aroma to fully infuse the tea. In the cup, the rich body of black tea blends seamlessly with the soft sweetness of osmanthus. The flavor lingers gently after each sip, offering a clear returning sweetness and a comforting warmth. This tea is particularly enjoyable during cooler seasons, warming both the body and the stomach. If you’re interested in Osmanthus Black Tea, feel free to click the image or the link to learn more>> 7. Osmanthus Oolong Tea Osmanthus pairs beautifully not only with black tea, but also with oolong. This Osmanthus oolong uses a roasted, aroma-forward Tieguanyin as the tea base and undergoes three rounds of scenting. Through this process, the floral fragrance becomes deeply integrated into the tea. From the first sip, the rich aroma of Osmanthus fills the cup and the palate. The liquor feels smooth and rounded, while the character of Tieguanyin gradually unfolds, adding structure and depth. As the tea moves toward the finish, a gentle roasted note appears, leaving a warm and lingering aftertaste. The overall profile feels balanced and full, with both floral sweetness and oolong complexity working in harmony. If you’re interested in Osmanthus Oolong Tea, feel free to click the image or the link to learn more>> 8. Rose Black Tea The combination of rose and tea can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, when roses were first paired with tea, most often green tea at the time. As black tea production techniques developed, rose black tea gradually became more widespread, especially in Guangdong and Fujian. It later grew into an important export tea and came to symbolize refined urban living in cities such as Shanghai. This rose black tea uses Dianhong as its base. The depth and body of the black tea balance the natural sweetness of the rose. On the palate, the tea feels smooth and full, with the mellow richness of black tea appearing first, followed by gentle floral sweetness spreading through the mouth. The aftertaste is long and elegant, combining warmth with a light, graceful floral lift. It is a comforting choice for those who enjoy naturally sweet and aromatic teas. If you’re interested in Rose Black Tea, feel free to click the image or the link to learn more>> 9. Jasmine Liubao Tea Jasmine Liubao is a relatively recent style within Chinese scented teas. The aged, grounding character of Liubao tea meets the fresh, expressive aroma of jasmine, creating a surprising and harmonious contrast. A sip brings together warmth and brightness, offering an experience that feels both familiar and new. Compared with traditional Liubao, this jasmine-scented version lacks heavy storage notes or earthy tones. What remains is a soft jasmine fragrance layered over the mellow sweetness of Liubao tea. The liquor feels smooth and gentle, making it especially enjoyable after rich or oily foods, when the palate benefits from something clean and calming. If you’re interested in Jasmine Liubao Tea, feel free to click the image or the link to learn more>> 10. Jasmine Green Tea Jasmine green tea is the most familiar and widely produced scented tea in China. Green tea is the most commonly used base. Traditional herbal texts note that the aroma of jasmine is valued for easing emotional tension and helping the body feel lighter during warm and humid weather. Today, major production areas include Hengzhou in Guangxi, Fuzhou in Fujian, Qianwei in Sichuan, and parts of Yunnan. This jasmine Biluochun comes from Hengzhou. The floral aroma is rich and expressive, while bitterness remains restrained. A slight bitterness appears toward the finish, but the fresh, lively character of green tea stays present throughout. Tea and flowers complement each other naturally, releasing layers of aroma and flavor with each sip. After drinking, the jasmine fragrance lingers in the mouth for a long time.

The idea for this collection came from noticing something simple but important: many American friends want to explore Chinese tea and try it for themselves, but often don’t know where to start. Some say Longjing is the best place to begin, others recommend Tieguanyin. The real magic of Chinese tea, however, is that just one or two teas can’t represent it. The full picture lies in the seven major tea categories: green tea, black tea, oolong tea, white tea, dark tea, yellow tea, and China’s unique scented teas. Each category has its own distinct flavors and techniques, and the differences within a single category can be huge. Take oolong, for example: from the light, floral Tieguanyin to the Phoenix Dancong and the heavily roasted Da Hong Pao, the flavor spectrum is vast. For American consumers, trying each tea one by one can be time-consuming, expensive, and confusing—they often don’t know which teas to start with. This is why we created the “Top 10 Representative Chinese Teas”. The goal was simple: select the most iconic teas from each category so beginners can experience the full spectrum of Chinese tea flavors efficiently and at minimal cost. Green Tea: Longjing and Huangshan Maofeng were chosen as representatives of China’s two main green tea processing methods (pan-fired and baked) and as two of the most famous Chinese teas. Oolong Tea: The two oolongs selected are the most distinctive: Tieguanyin, representing southern Fujian; and Da Hong Pao, representing northern Fujian. Both are highly popular and widely discussed in China. Black Tea: China is the birthplace of black tea, and among hundreds of varieties, I selected Keemun (small-leaf) and Yunnan Dianhong (large-leaf) as the most typical and approachable examples. White Tea: White Peony was chosen for its tender one-bud-one-leaf combination, perfectly showcasing white tea’s soft, sweet character. Dark Tea: From the many dark teas, Yunnan ripe Pu-erh was selected for its recognizable flavor and beginner-friendly taste. Yellow Tea: Although less known overseas, Junshan Silver Needle is essential for understanding the full landscape of Chinese tea. Scented Tea: Jasmine tea naturally belongs here—an essential cup for anyone starting their journey into Chinese tea. With these ten teas, anyone can experience the most representative flavors of Chinese tea. We also realized that many beginners don’t know how to brew tea properly. To help, we created a “Beginner’s Guide to Chinese Tea”, covering five main sections: 1. Why Tea Matters in China – The cultural importance of tea. 2. The story of Chinese tea from myth to world heritage. 3. The Six Major Types of Chinese Tea – Origins, differences, and key techniques. 4. Why Chinese People Brew Tea with a Gaiwan – Insights into gongfu tea culture. 5. How to Brew Six Tea Types with a Gaiwan – Simple steps even beginners can follow. 6. Tea Etiquette – Traditions and details for enjoying tea at the table. Buying this collection includes the guide, so beginners not only get to taste the teas but also understand the culture behind them. Another challenge is that many beginners don’t have the right tea tools at home. In the Chinese tea system, the gaiwan set is the easiest and most effective way for newcomers to appreciate the flavors. That’s why we also offer the Top 10 Teas + Chaozhou Bone China Gaiwan Set.   The tea set features a thin, fast-heating, comfortable-to-hold gaiwan made in Chaozhou, Guangdong—perfect for beginners. The full set includes: a gaiwan, a fairness cup, and three tasting cups. Each tea comes with a dedicated card describing its origin, flavor, processing, story, and recommended brewing method.   For us, this collection isn’t just a set of teas. It’s a way to help friends overseas experience Chinese tea in the simplest and most enjoyable way, to introduce the culture, the flavors, and the beauty of Chinese tea, all in a way that’s friendly, accessible, and easy to understand.   If you’d like to learn more about our products and available discounts, please click the link.

China is the birthplace of tea. Over thousands of years, it has developed a complete tea system that includes green tea, black tea, white tea, yellow tea, oolong tea, dark tea, and China’s unique scented teas. Each category carries its own flavor, aroma, and stories. From the refreshing brightness of green tea to the rich depth of dark tea, different processing methods, cultivars, and growing regions create a wide world of taste. For beginners, trying teas at random can be time-consuming and costly. To help you get started more efficiently, we selected ten classic teas from China’s seven major tea categories. They represent the most iconic and approachable flavors for anyone beginning their journey into Chinese tea. 1. Green Tea Green tea is the oldest and most widely consumed category in China. It is grown across many regions and exists in three main types based on drying method: pan-fired, baked, and sun-dried. Longjing and Huangshan Maofeng almost perfectly showcase the essential features of pan-fired and baked green teas, while sun-dried green tea is mostly used to produce dark teas. Brewing: Use a gaiwan or glass cup, tea-to-water ratio of 1:50, water temperature 80–85°C, steep for 10–15 seconds. Best time to drink: Morning or early afternoon for a refreshing lift. ① Longjing – The Benchmark of Pan-Fired Green Tea Longjing is one of China’s most famous green teas. Known for its emerald color, delicate aroma, sweet and mellow taste, and elegant flat shape, it is often regarded as the crown of China’s top teas. West Lake Longjing was once given as a national gift to foreign guests.  The leaves are flat and smooth, releasing a distinctive aroma reminiscent of pan-fried beans or fresh peas. The flavor is bright and clean with a lingering sweetness and virtually no bitterness. Today, Longjing is mainly produced in Hangzhou’s West Lake, Qiantang, and Yuezhou regions. If you want to buy Longjing, click the image or link to learn more>> ② Huangshan Maofeng – A Classic Baked Green Tea Huangshan Maofeng is one of the most iconic baked green teas, originating from the Yellow Mountain region in Anhui. It was created around 1875 by tea merchant Xie Zheng’an. In 2022, its processing technique was listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage item.  Huangshan Maofeng has slender, slightly curved leaves that resemble a sparrow’s tongue. The color is a soft green with a hint of yellow. Its aroma is delicate, often showing notes of orchid or roasted chestnut. The taste is light, sweet, and refined, yet layered, with a clear and lasting sweetness after swallowing. It has long been cherished by tea enthusiasts in China and around the world. If you want to buy Huangshan Maofeng, click the image or link to learn more>> 2. Oolong Tea Among China’s traditional tea categories, oolong tea covers the widest range of flavors. Depending on the oxidation level and roasting intensity, oolong aromas can range from light floral notes to deeper caramel tones. Its taste can be fresh and bright or rich and roasted.  To help you understand the spectrum, we recommend Anxi Tieguanyin and Da Hong Pao. They sit at opposite ends of the oxidation and roasting scale. If you prefer a floral yet balanced flavor, Phoenix Dancong is also a wonderful choice. Brewing: Use a gaiwan or Yixing teapot, tea-to-water ratio 1:20. Steep the first three infusions for 10–15 seconds with boiling water, then gradually extend by 5–10 seconds. Drinking notes: Great in the morning or during work breaks. Avoid drinking at night. ① Anxi Tieguanyin – The Signature of Southern Fujian Oolong Tieguanyin, discovered during the Qing Dynasty in Anxi County of Fujian, is loved for its distinctive “Guanyin Yun,” a unique resonance in both aroma and taste. Its name is said to come from the Qianlong Emperor, who was impressed by the tea’s dark, glossy leaves and graceful fragrance.  Tieguanyin is commonly divided into three styles:  ● Light Aroma (Qingxiang): High floral fragrance, clear and refreshing.  ● Traditional Roasted (Nongxiang): Warm, rich aroma with caramel or fruit notes; smooth and full-bodied.  ● Aged (Chenxiang): Mature, mellow, sweet, ideal for aged-tea lovers. If you want to buy Tieguanyin, click the image or link to learn more>> ② Da Hong Pao – The King of Wuyi Rock Tea Da Hong Pao is the star of Wuyi rock tea. Most Da Hong Pao on the market today is blended from high-quality Wuyi cultivars.  Its signature traits are its mineral “rock rhyme” and long-lasting floral aromas such as orchid, osmanthus, peach, and even creamy notes. The liquor is smooth and full, offering a rich and layered flavor. If you want to buy  Da Hong Pao, click the image or link to learn more>> 3. Black Tea China is the birthplace of black tea. As a fully oxidized tea, its flavor varies widely depending on the tea cultivar and processing method. We recommend two classics: Keemun, made from small-leaf varieties, and Yunnan black tea, made from large-leaf varieties. If you enjoy smoky flavors, authentic Lapsang Souchong is also worth exploring. Brewing: Use a gaiwan at a 1:30 or 1:50 ratio. Steep the first three infusions for 10–15 seconds with 95–100°C water, then extend slowly. Drinking notes: Avoid drinking on an empty stomach. It pairs well with milk, honey, or lemon. The warm, bright color of the liquor makes it especially comforting in autumn and winter. ① Keemun Black Tea – The Queen of Black Tea Keemun is celebrated alongside Darjeeling and Uva as one of the world’s three most aromatic black teas. It earned international fame in the 19th century and quickly became beloved by the British royal family. It remains a key element of traditional English afternoon tea. Keemun is known for its rich and layered aroma, blending floral notes (orchid, rose), fruity tones (apple), and honeyed sweetness (caramel, malt). The liquor is smooth, full, and naturally sweet. If you want to buy Keemun Black Tea, click the image or link to learn more>> ② Yunnan Ancient Tree Black Tea (Dianhong) Dianhong represents China’s large-leaf black teas. It was created in 1939 during wartime, when traditional tea production areas were disrupted. Tea master Feng Shaoqiu successfully produced black tea using Yunnan’s large-leaf cultivar, which quickly gained global popularity. Dianhong is appreciated for its honeyed or floral aromas, thick texture, complexity, and impressive endurance over multiple infusions. If you want to buy Dianhong, click the image or link to learn more>> 4. Ripe Pu-erh Tea – A Representative of Dark Tea  Dark tea undergoes a second fermentation with the help of microorganisms. Among the major dark tea styles, ripe Pu-erh from Yunnan is one of the smoothest and most approachable for beginners. Its pile-fermentation process transforms the tea into a mellow, thick, and silky brew with no bitterness. Over time, it develops aromas such as jujube, aged wood, or herbal notes. Ripe Pu-erh is gentle on the stomach, making it suitable for sensitive drinkers. Moderate long-term consumption may help with digestion and fat metabolism. Brewing: Use a gaiwan or Yixing teapot at a 1:20 ratio. Rinse quickly with boiling water. Steep for 8–10 seconds for the first few infusions, then extend gradually. Drinking notes: Ideal for autumn and winter, and excellent with rich or oily foods. If you want to buy Ripe Pu-erh, click the image or link to learn more>> 5. White Peony – A Classic White Tea White tea is processed only through withering and drying, keeping much of its natural flavor. It is typically divided into four grades: Silver Needle, White Peony, Gongmei, and Shoumei. White Peony ranks second. Its mix of green leaves and silvery buds looks like a flower, and when brewed, the bud sits on the open leaf like fresh blossoms. The flavor is lightly sweet and floral, with notes of orchid, osmanthus, or soft vegetal aromas. Aged White Peony becomes smoother and richer. How to Brew:  Use a gaiwan or Yixing teapot at a 1:20 ratio. Steep the first three infusions for 30–40 seconds with boiling water, then extend by 30 seconds each round. Aged tea can also be brewed in a thermos or simmered. When to Drink:  Great for summer and autumn. It pairs well with lemon, orange, or floral additions like rose or chrysanthemum. If you want to buy White Peony, click the image or link to learn more>> 6. Junshan Silver Needle – A Rare Treasure Among Yellow Teas Junshan Silver Needle is the highest grade of Chinese yellow tea and has been an imperial tribute since the Tang Dynasty. Its unique “yellowing” process creates the signature golden liquor and softens any bitterness. The dry leaves carry a sweet young-corn aroma. Once brewed, the warm aroma resembles roasted chestnut, and as it cools, a gentle honey note appears. The liquor is smooth and clean. Though not widely known overseas, it remains an essential part of China’s tea heritage. How to Brew:  Use a gaiwan or glass cup at a 1:50 ratio. Steep the first three infusions for 10–15 seconds with water at 80–85°C, then extend by 5–10 seconds as you go. When to Drink:  Best in the morning or after meals to aid digestion and ease fatigue. Avoid drinking it on an empty stomach. If you want to buy Junshan Silver Needle, click the image or link to learn more>> 7. Jasmine Green Tea – The Most Popular Scented Tea Scented teas are unique to China. Fresh flowers are layered with tea leaves, allowing the leaves to absorb the floral fragrance naturally. Among them, jasmine tea is the most widely produced and most loved, usually made with green tea as the base. The more rounds of scenting it undergoes, the stronger and more integrated the jasmine aroma becomes.  This jasmine green tea is scented three times, giving it a bright, rich floral fragrance. The flavor is smooth and refreshing, with a balanced harmony of tea and jasmine. It is ideal for daily drinking, especially for those who enjoy pronounced floral notes. How to Brew: Use a gaiwan or glass cup at a 1:50 ratio. Steep the first three infusions for 10–15 seconds with water at 80–85°C, then extend by 5–10 seconds as needed. When to Drink: Perfect for mornings or afternoons. It helps you stay focused while also relaxing the mind.

There are plenty of factors that can affect the taste and flavor of green tea, including differences in manufacturing processes, tea plant varieties, harvesting levels, and the growing environment of the tea plants. For instance, steamed green teas, like Gyokuro, have a distinct seaweed flavor; pan-fired green teas, like Longjing, have a notable roasted nut aroma; in terms of tea plant varieties, Longjing made from the 'Wuniu Zao' cultivar lacks the typical bean fragrance because of the specific variety used; looking at the harvesting levels, Longjing with one bud and one leaf has a more refreshing taste and a more elegant aroma.   On the other hand, Chinese Tea, specifically Longjing with one bud and three leaves, has a less distinct aroma and isn’t as refreshing. Today, we’re using two renowned varieties of Chinese Tea, Longjing and Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea, to illustrate the differences between green teas of various harvesting levels.     Longjing Green Tea (Dragon Well Tea): Longjing Green Tea, a prized selection within any tea gift set, hails from the West Lake region in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. With a history stretching back to the Tang Dynasty, it has been celebrated in Chinese literature and is renowned for its unique flat leaf shape, smooth texture, and vibrant green color. The tea leaves boast a distinct “bean flower” aroma and a fresh, sweet taste that lingers on the palate, making it a cherished inclusion in any tea gift set. The best Longjing Green Tea, such as the “Pre-Qingming” or “Daughter’s Red,” is meticulously picked before the Qingming Festival, a time when the leaves are at their most tender and flavorful, often featured in premium tea gift sets.   Longjing Green Tea, often regarded as the best green tea to drink, is closely associated with the beauty of West Lake and is considered a liquid reflection of the region’s natural splendor. It is said that even the Qianlong Emperor, during his southern tours, praised this particular tea, which he deemed the best green tea to drink, and designated a specific plot of tea plants as “Imperial Tea” due to its exceptional quality.Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea (Yellow Mountain Fuzzy Tip):Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea is a delicate green tea that originates from the Yellow Mountains in Anhui Province. This tea is known for its curled leaves covered in white down, resembling a sparrow's tongue, with a hue that is greenish-yellow and a fragrance reminiscent of orchids. The tea has a sweet, mellow taste and a lingering aftertaste that is both refreshing and satisfying.   Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea is meticulously hand-crafted from the tender shoots of  selected tea varieties grown in the misty mountainsides, which are picked during the clear and grain rains around the Qingming and Guyu seasons. The tea's name, "Maofeng," which translates to "fuzzy peak," refers to the white tips that adorn the tea leaves, symbolizing the peak of the Yellow Mountains where it is sourced.   Longjing and Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea are both famous green teas from China, each with their own unique flavor profiles. These flavors are influenced by a variety of factors, including the tea plant variety, growing conditions, harvesting levels, and processing techniques. Here's a look at the flavor differences between different leaf grades of Longjing and Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea.   Longjing Green Tea Flavor Variations by Leaf Grade:-One bud and one leaf Longjing Green Tea: This is a higher grade of Longjing Green Tea. The leaves are tender, with plump and straight buds, offering a fresh and invigorating taste and a clear, high aroma. Because the leaves are more delicate, they may not be as enduring when brewed, but the taste and aroma are exceptional.-One bud and two leaves Longjing Green Tea: Compared to the one bud and one leaf, this grade of Longjing Green Tea has a higher endurance for brewing and a richer taste. Its aroma remains fresh, but you might notice a bit more depth in the flavor profile.-One bud and three leaves Longjing Green Tea: This type of Longjing Green Tea has more mature leaves, resulting in a stronger flavor and better endurance for brewing. The aroma might not be as uplifting as the younger leaves, but it still maintains the unique, fresh fragrance of Longjing Green Tea, with a fuller mouthfeel.   Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea Green Tea Flavor Variations by Leaf Grade:-One bud and one leaf Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea: This is a premium grade of Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea tea. The leaves are delicate, with a green and moist appearance, featuring golden yellow fish leaves, commonly called "golden slices". The tea soup is clear and bright, with a fresh taste and an elegant aroma, embodying the classic style of Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea.-One bud and two leaves Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea: This grade of Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea offers a richer taste and improved endurance for brewing. Its aroma might not be as delicate as the one bud and one leaf grade, but it still retains the fresh fragrance characteristic of Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea, with a more concentrated flavor.-One bud and three leaves Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea: With more mature leaves, this grade of Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea has a richer flavor and better endurance for brewing. The aroma might be more subdued compared to the younger leaves, but it still preserves the fresh fragrance of Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea, with a smoother mouthfeel. In summary, different leaf grades of Longjing Green Tea and Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea, both exquisite examples of green tea Chinese, each have their unique flavor profiles. Younger leaf grades of green tea Chinese typically possess a higher aroma and a more refreshing taste, while more mature leaf grades of green tea Chinese offer a richer flavor and better brewing endurance. These differences in green tea Chinese are not only influenced by the leaf grade but are also closely related to the tea plant variety, growing environment, and processing techniques.     Summary of Green Tea Grades:One bud and one leaf green tea:Quality: It's often seen as the cream of the crop because the buds are super tender and packed with goodies.Taste: It's super fresh and sweet, with a delicate flavor profile.Aroma: The scent is elegant and long-lasting, often with a refreshing hint of greenness or a bean-like aroma.Brew durability: It's on the lower side because the leaves are so tender and don't stand up well to long infusions. One bud and two leaves green tea:Quality: It's high-quality, striking a balance between the tenderness of the bud and the maturity of the leaves.Taste: The flavor is rich and fresh, with a more complex and robust mouthfeel compared to one bud and one leaf.Aroma: The aroma is still fresh but a bit more intense than the one bud and one leaf variety.Brew durability: It fares better than the one bud and one leaf green tea, standing up to multiple infusions. One bud and three leaves green tea:Quality: It's more mature in quality, with a bolder flavor.Taste: The taste is strong, and it has the best brew durability, but it might not be as refreshing as the one bud and one leaf or one bud and two leaves green teas.Aroma: The aroma could be more subdued, with a richer layering as the leaves mature.Brew durability: It's the best, thanks to a higher content of polyphenols and caffeine, making it a favorite for tea lovers who prefer a strong flavor. Harvest Time:One bud and one leaf green teas are usually picked early in spring when the tea plants are nutrient-rich, resulting in top-quality leaves. One bud and two leaves, and one bud and three leaves green teas are harvested mid-to-late spring. Appearance:One bud and one leaf green teas have the most uniform appearance with plump buds and an aesthetically pleasing shape. As the number of leaves increases in one bud and two leaves, and one bud and three leaves green teas, the appearance becomes slightly more robust. Processing Techniques:Different grades of green tea might be processed differently to highlight their characteristics. For example, one bud and one leaf green teas might require more delicate killing green and drying techniques. Market Positioning:One bud and one leaf green teas are typically positioned in the high-end market, while one bud and two leaves, and one bud and three leaves green teas cater more to everyday drinking needs.In a nutshell, one bud and one leaf green teas are loved by tea enthusiasts for their tenderness and high quality. One bud and two leaves green teas strike a good balance between quality and price. One bud and three leaves green teas are perfect for those who prefer a bold flavor and high brew durability.   If you're curious about the different grades of Longjing and Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea, check out 6 Flavors Superior Green Tea Leaf Grade Collection .Includes Longjing And Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea 87G For Morning，that's all about exploring how the leaf grade of green tea affects its flavor, aroma, and the overall tea-drinking experience. This series features two famous Chinese green teas—Longjing and Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea—both made from traditional renowned tea plant varieties. The only difference is the leaf grade. You'll get to taste three different grades:One bud and one leafOne bud and two leavesOne bud and three leaves Each tea is hand-picked and processed by the same skilled tea master to ensure consistency in craftsmanship. By sampling these subtle variations in leaf grade, you'll gain a deeper understanding of green tea and find the grade that best suits your personal taste.   What would be the best water temperature for brewing green tea of different grades? When brewing green tea of different grades, there are indeed different suggestions for water temperature, which helps bring out the best flavor of the tea. Here are some basic guidelines:One bud and one leaf green tea: This high-quality green tea is very delicate, so it's recommended to use a slightly lower water temperature to brew it. This prevents the tea from becoming bitter due to high temperatures. The ideal water temperature is around 70°C to 75°C.One bud and two leaves green tea: Compared to the one bud and one leaf, this green tea has a higher tolerance for brewing and a richer taste. Its aroma is still fresh, so a slightly higher water temperature is suggested, around 75°C to 80°C, to fully extract the tea's flavor.One bud and three leaves green tea: This green tea has more mature leaves, a stronger flavor, and better brewing tolerance. Its aroma might not be as uplifting as the younger leaves, but it still maintains the unique fresh scent of green tea. For these more mature leaves, a slightly higher water temperature can be used, around 85°C, to bring out a richer taste.In general, tender leaf grades of green tea are usually recommended to be brewed with a lower water temperature (70°C to 75°C), while mature leaf grades can handle a slightly higher temperature (up to 80°C-85°C).  These differences are not only influenced by the leaf grade but also closely related to the tea plant variety, growing environment, and processing techniques. Using an electric kettle with temperature control can easily help you manage the water temperature, ensuring that each brew reaches the ideal temperature.     The caffeine levels in green tea can vary depending on the leaf grade. The amount of caffeine in the best green tea is influenced by a bunch of factors, like the type of tea plant, how it’s grown, when it’s picked, which parts are picked, and how it’s processed. Generally, the younger the leaves in the best green tea, the more caffeine they have. That’s because the tea plant pumps up the caffeine in the tender buds to keep pests away.When it comes to green teas made with one bud and one leaf versus one bud and three leaves, the caffeine difference is mostly about the maturity of the leaves. Green tea with one bud and one leaf is usually made from the tea plant's tender buds and the first leaves that unfold. These leaves have a higher caffeine content because the buds and young leaves need the most protection, so the plant makes more caffeine to ward off bugs.On the other hand, green tea with one bud and three leaves has more mature leaves. These mature leaves have less caffeine because as the leaves get older, they're better at fighting off pests, so they don't need as much caffeine.Specifically, when you brew green tea with one bud and one leaf, more caffeine dissolves into the water. This means it can give you a better boost, but it might also be a bit harder on your stomach because of the higher caffeine content. Green tea with one bud and three leaves has more mature leaves, so it has less caffeine and might be easier on your stomach, but it might not give you as big of an energy boost as the one bud and one leaf variety.In summary, green tea with one bud and one leaf usually has more caffeine, while green tea with one bud and three leaves has less. This is mainly due to the difference in the maturity of the leaves.

Both hot brewed tea and cold brewed tea can help cool you down in the summer. In hot weather, drinking hot brewed tea can promote blood circulation and induce sweating. The evaporation of sweat helps carry away heat, cooling the body down. Cold brewed tea provides an immediate cooling sensation, helping the body cool down quickly. In humid weather, where sweat doesn't evaporate easily, drinking cold brewed tea is more effective. Which is Healthier: Hot or Cold Brewed Tea? Whether you choose hot brewed or cold brewed tea, the nutritional content of the tea leaves remains largely unchanged. High-quality loose leaf tea provides significant health benefits regardless of the brewing method. There is a difference in caffeine release between the two methods. Hot brewing tends to extract more caffeine from the tea leaves compared to cold brewing. If you are sensitive to caffeine, you might prefer cold brewed tea to enjoy the flavors of loose leaf tea with less caffeine. Stock Up and Save Big on Summer Tea!
