      Hi, I saw this picture of a lady holding some larger white flowers in the jasmine market photos in your Facebook page. What flowers are those? Are they used for scenting tea too? What are other flowers for scenting tea in China? Thank you.

      That is a kind of magnolia flower which we call “bak lan”. They come from trees which can be very, very tall. Very fragrant sweet smell in summer when they open. A very small percentage of this flower is mixed with jasmine flower for scenting jasmine tea except for very expensive or very cheap jasmine tea. Very expensive jasmine tea use only jasmine flower. Very cheap jasmine tea has no scenting, just added with dried jasmine flower which has been used for scenting other tea.
