King's Zen Tea Osmanthus Fragrance Flower

I love the smell of this tea - ripe peaches.

Osmanthus is an evergreen shrub native to Asia, with golden flowers that give off the scent of ripe peaches or apricots. In China, they infuse these flowers with water, green tea or black tea, the resulting golden coloured drink is called gui hua cha. Osmanthus also has health properties, with benefits for oral health and skin rashes, alleviating headaches and lowering blood pressure, among others. Lately, I've found that Chinese supermarkets around my area have come out with osmanthus-flavoured jellies, made from osmanthus flowers, an idea I'd like to try myself. Above all, this makes a great tasting, and wonderful smelling, cup of tea that you can enjoy while it's brewing, and as you drink it.

King's Zen Tea King's Jasmine Pearls

King's Zen Tea has a number of very interesting teas, this one is a green tea that is scented with jasmine blossoms, using a 9 century old technique for tea scenting. The tender green tea leaves and buds (these come from Fujian Province in China) are then hand rolled. The jasmine smell of this is quite strong and intoxicating, the green tea is quite good as well, yielding a good cup of tea to enjoy.

Zen Tea San Qi Flower Tea

Oddly enough, I think that I have answered my own question, to this posting. It turns out that those were San Qui flowers, also called Notoginseng. The taste that I had gotten from that previous tea, was, of course, ginseng. It still tastes sweet and good. Notoginseng is a herb whose properties help invigorate and build blood. This tea comes from King's Zen Tea; they sell a number of green, white and black and herbal teas.
