How do I know if it's natural scented? The adagio tea I have has these flower components in it, I supposed these aren't good quality then? I always wonder what "3% flavouring" on twinings label mean. Do they have the real spice/flowers in there, or do they add oil or stuff? And there's these lychee black loose tea I bought from local carrefour. It looks like normal black tea, and tastes really sweet. Could it be natural? What are the normal natural scented tea?
+Lindsaylbb If a jasmine tea has a lot of flowers mixed in then it is usually not really great quality. If the ingredients say 3% flavouring then it must be artificially fragranced tea. The Lychee black is usually artificial too although we are always being told that they are naturally scented but it is impossible to have such a strong sweet flavour. Naturally scented include jasmine, rose, osmanthus, orchid or combined with fruit peels.
I dry my own jasmine leaves and make tea from that, prefer it tbh, I don't find it bitter either but hey it's all subjective I suppose, enjoyed the video very knowledgable
Hey Don why you didnt mention yasmin tea in the brewing guide. Or should i use the measurment of the tea which is the base for the yasmin tea. Thanks and in love your vids and the gong fu method
Hello Mei, I have an interesting question. I have read that Jazmin Tea, it’s very potent for lowering cholesterol and other important medicinal properties. So would this be the one? I mean, this is a mixture for what I see, of green tea scented with Jazmin. I just bought the one from Sun Flower, to give it a try, so now I am not sure.
Hi there. I know there are a lot of things going around that claim tea to be a cure for many things, but in the end it isn't. There's little to no scientific evidence for most of those health claims. Tea, in the end, is pretty much well tasting leaf water with it's only active components really being caffeine and L-theanine. None of those to do much of anything for your cholesterol.
I was a little confused by your video on scented teas which made it sound like jasmine is a bad idea. This video makes a little more sense. You're saying jasmine can be good quality tea as long as oils and extracts are not added to boost the flavor? I remember trying two different jasmine teas from Adagio a long time ago. One was a pearl tea that was heavenly and the other was a black tea that tasted like drinking directly from a perfume bottle. The black tea was horrible! Now I know why.

What’s the best you recommend?
I've got China Wuyuan Yasmin tee BIO Naturland looking like Gunpowder but the flavor is great Yasmin.

Moritz Köhler use the base tea for the measurements from his guide. The jasmine scenting will have no significant effect on brewing.
@@chrisladouceur4093 I wouldn't agree. For jasimine tea it's recommended to use more then just standard green tea in general.
Nice speech
+Chen Zeng Thanks
