How to brew scented tea

Scented tea is suitable for drinking plain, and is not suitable for adding sugar or milk, in order to preserve the natural floral aroma. Traditionally, scented tea is brewed in a teapot or covered bowl. For scented tea made from delicate buds, it can be brewed in a glass cup to enjoy the double enjoyment of fragrant aroma and stretched buds. When brewing high-quality scented tea using buds as the base, we recommend that the water temperature should not exceed 90 degrees; for scented tea made from non-buds, we can brew it with boiling water. If brewing in a teapot, pay special attention to covering the lid of the pot. Open the lid after a few minutes, and the fragrance of the scented tea will hit you.
