Green tea, white tea, black tea, spiced, smoky, fruity… We love talking about tea! Today we're talking a little more about floral tea, its history, how to prepare it and how to enjoy it.

Let's delve into history for a moment to better understand the origins of "flower teas." The idea of ​​incorporating flowers into tea leaves to add flavor to tea originated in China. At the time, dried jasmine flowers were the most commonly used; today, we have a vast selection of floral teas available.

For floral teas to be rich in flavor, they must contain whole, high-quality dried flowers, which should be handled as little as possible to preserve their full aroma. We recommend choosing loose-leaf teas for maximum flavor.

Jasmine was the very first flower to appear among those added to tea leaves; today there are many more to suit all tastes.

The rose: the rose is excellent for the skin, mood swings, and painful periods.
Chamomile: good for anxiety, sleep disorders
Lavender: combats anxiety, nervousness, and insomnia. It can also help with colds.
Hibiscus: helps strengthen the immune and digestive systems
Forget-me-not: helps improve memory and concentration problems
Linden: possesses relaxing, digestive, calming and sedative properties

The preparation of floral tea is based on the type of tea, is it black, white, green, or an infusion?

Here's a quick reminder of the water temperature and brewing time for each of them:

White tea: 70-80 °C | 1-2 minutes infusion
