In Tea Spectrum written by Rong Cheng (1592) in Ming Dynasty, the method of making scented tea was described in detail: "Sweet clover, jasmine, rose, rose, cymbidium, lotus orange, gardenia and plum blossom can all be tea. Stop tea for three times, stop flowers once, use a magnetic pot, one layer of tea and one layer of flowers, alternate with each other until full, put paper into the pot, cook it in heavy soup, take it out to cool, wrap it in paper, and bake it on the fire for later use.

Processing technology: The processing technology is to mix the flowers with refined tea leaves, and the tea leaves slowly absorb the flowers in a static state, then screen off the flower residues and dry the tea leaves. According to the classification of flowers used, there are jasmine tea, white orchid tea, pearl orchid tea, hawksbill tea and scented tea such as osmanthus, rose and grapefruit flower. Generally speaking, roasted green tea is used as green tea. Because of its loose tissue structure, strong fragrance absorption and pure tea taste, it is used to add fragrance to flowers, so that the fragrance and taste of tea can be integrated. First, dried green tea is stripped of chips, powder, stalks, etc. , and refined into tea blanks that meet the requirements of commodity specifications. The quality of tea blank should meet GB 172 standard. Flowers should be selected from the mature flowers picked that day. After spreading, stacking, screening, cooling and other maintenance and opening-assisting procedures, the flowers are evenly opened, and then evenly mixed with the tea blank in a certain proportion, stacked and left standing, so that the tea residue can absorb the fragrance of the flowers as much as possible. During the scenting period, someone still needs to stir, ventilate and dissipate heat according to the change of pile temperature, so as to reduce the pile temperature and breathe fresh air, which is beneficial to the flowers to restore vitality, continue to spit fragrance, change the contact surface of camellia, and make the tea blank absorb fragrance evenly. Finally, the flower residue is screened out to complete the scenting. Different varieties and grades of scented tea have different scenting time, flower amount and scenting times, and the flower amount of fragrant scented tea is gradually decreasing.

Since12nd century, the scenting of scented tea has been extended to Suzhou and Hangzhou. In Ming Dynasty, Gu (1564- 1639) recorded in detail the fragrant flower varieties of scented tea and the method of making tea: "Jasmine, rose, rose, orchid, orange blossom, gardenia, radix aucklandiae and plum blossom can all be used in tea. When the flowers bloom, pick the half-scented and half-scented, measure the amount of tea, and pick out the flowers as tea. Too many flowers are too fragrant to escape the tea rhyme; Less flowers are not fragrant, but not beautiful. " Stop the tea for three times and weigh the flowers as soon as they stop. "However, the large-scale scenting of scented tea began in the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty (1851-1861), and the production of scented tea was more common in 1890. Scented tea is a unique tea in China. The main producing areas are Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu and other provinces. In recent years, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Guizhou and other provinces have also developed. Instead of Beijing, Tianjin and other tea-producing areas, in the peak season of floral fragrance, a large number of coarse scented tea are collected from tea-producing areas for processing, and its output is also increasing year by year.
