Flavoured teas are processed black, green or oolong teas which are then blended with additional flavourings. A wide range of spices, herbs and flower petals are used to produce a large variety of flavoured teas. Fruit flavoured teas are generally made by blending the fruit's essential oils with the processed tea.
Black Tea
Blenders in Europe, the global centre of black flavoured tea technology, mix flavours and teas in machines which control temperature and humidity. Some teas are flavoured just two or three times, but the best receive five or six repetitions then refired. Dried blossoms are added for increased charm to its appearance.
