Premium Gardenia Black Tea 100g
Gardenia, also known as huang zhizi or mountain gardenia, is an evergreen shrub and one of China’s traditional fragrant flowers. It has long been used in the art of scenting tea.
This Gardenia Black Tea is made by scenting freshly picked gardenia blossoms with spring-harvested Yunnan black tea, using a three-round traditional scenting process.
When June gardenias meet black tea, the flower’s bold, heady fragrance softens into a gentle, elegant aroma. The warmth and richness of the black tea lift the gardenia’s cool, refreshing scent, creating a perfectly balanced harmony.
The first sip brings a clear and delicate gardenia aroma—like walking into a garden in full bloom, instantly awakening the senses. The liquor is smooth and full-bodied, with the gardenia’s natural sweetness melding beautifully with the tea’s mellow depth. A lingering, sweet finish remains long after each sip.
This tea is not only an expression of traditional scenting craftsmanship, but also a soothing gift from nature. In traditional Chinese medicine, gardenia is believed to help clear heat and relieve symptoms such as dry mouth, sore throat, and irritability.
The cooling character of the flower combines with the comforting warmth of black tea, creating a brew that is both rich and refreshing. It’s enjoyable in all seasons, and especially uplifting in summer when you want something cooling, cleansing, and effortlessly calming.
