All tea comes from the same plant (camellia sinensis) and like most plants, its leaves are green. Green tea preserves that green color and freshness. China and Japan produce the highest quality green teas, though many other countries are now producing it as well. Green tea usually produces a light body with mild astringency and a vegetal/grassy character.
Scenting involves combining tea and flower buds together into large piles overnight. As the flower buds bloom, the tea absorbs the fragrance that is released. In the morning the spent flowers are removed, but the aroma stays with the tea.
