Wintersweet Flower Tea
Origin: Eco-Tea Plantations in Chongqing (located in China’s famous tea-producing belt at 800-1200m altitude)
This unique tea is crafted from tender spring tea leaves (plucked at the early “one bud, one leaf” stage) and scented over seven cycles with winter-harvested willow-leaf wintersweet blossoms (Chimonanthus salicifolius). The delicate fragrance of wintersweet is fully absorbed into the tea leaves, resulting in a mellow, subtly sweet infusion with a lingering floral aftertaste.
