Flower Tea
Flower Tea
Flower-scented teas from TRAVINA: West Lake lotus tea, jasmine green tea, pomelo blossom tea and ancient tea flower buds from Thai Nguyen.
Why the flowers don't come from Thai Nguyen and that's by design
Every leaf in this range still starts as TRAVINA green tea, grown and picked by our member households in Dai Tu and La Bang exactly like the rest of our range. What changes is the flower: most of the styles here use a flower sourced from its own traditional region, not from our tea gardens, and we say so plainly rather than let the "Thai Nguyen" story imply otherwise. Two styles (pomelo blossom and jasmine) are the exception grown and hand-picked by our own households.
| Flower | Sourced from | Season | Tea base |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lotus (West Lake Lotus Tea) | Former Tay Ho lake area, Hanoi (Bach Diep lotus) | Summer lotus season | Premium bud tea (tr nn), freeze-dried with the lotus |
| Lotus, freeze-dried rice style (West Lake Lotus Rice Tea) | Former Tay Ho lake area, Hanoi (Bach Diep lotus) | Summer lotus season | Tr inh Tin Vua TRAVINA's top specialty tea grade, freeze-dried with the lotus. This is our most premium flower tea, made for high-level gifting. |
| Jasmine (Jasmine Green Tea) | Grown and hand-picked by our own households | May – September | Premium bud tea |
| Pomelo blossom (Pomelo Blossom Green Tea) | Grown and hand-picked by our own households local "bi ta" pomelo variety, prized for its fragrance | Early March | Tr inh Ngc (top-grade bud tea) |
| Ancient tea flower bud (Ancient Tea Flower Buds) | Not a scented tea this is the bud of the tea plant itself, harvested from old tea trees (3–4m) on the Dong Tam Dao forest slope, part of the Five Great Tea Region | Once a year, very limited | (hand-fired whole, no base tea) |
