In reply to Elaine. Hi Elaine. I recommend you to try out osmanthus oolong. Gives the oolong this nice buttery smell

In reply to Parsnip. Flower teas are quite popular among tea drinkers now, especially for women. I love rose oolong and jasmine oolong the most.

I used to work at a bubble tea shop and we used real tea leaves so it was fun learning more about tea. One of my favorites was a rose oolong. I think it was iron goddess. Regular rose petal tea tastes too perfumey so the oolong added a nice flavor.

Another flower tea is made from the Butterfly-pea flower and dried lemongrass and is a vibrant blue tea. The flower and lemongrass is also used to make blue rice.

Hi Yu,

I hope you had a great journey in China. Majiao and huajao are extremely popular in Sichuan cuisine and they can be widely used. You can check the link for some inspiration https://www.chinasichuanfood.com/?s=sichuan+pepper

Just back from chengdu, jiuzhaigou, huang long, leshan and emei shan. Love the food at sichuan. Bought some ma jiao and hua jiao. Any advise to use the two spices? Thank you

In reply to Jessi. Flower teas have been enjoyed in China because of their different medical effects for quite a long time. Hope they will be helpful to your grand mother.

This article was a great help! I just came back from China and brought Laoshan Green Tea, Lavender (for my grandmother when she has trouble relaxing) and Rose tea (just because I like the flavor).
I wanted to bring many more but was unsure of what I would be buying and what effects they could have. So having this guide to flower tea now, I will order some of the other varieties online 🙂
I love to make my own mixes and flavored green or black tea with them as well. Rose green tea tastes great and now that I now the rose tea even has medical effects it is even better!
