With what is tea flavored or scented?
Tea is flavored and scented with tea scent. We know that alone may not be helpful, but teas in the Teacup are scented with flavors extracted from their natural sources whenever possible. Sometimes the flavor agent cannot be directly extracted and must be recreated using extracts from other foods. Some teas, not carried in our store, use chemically created scents or natural scents augmented with chemical agents. We feel these chemically-scented teas taste metallic and flat and do not represent the best a tea can be. We are always ecstatic to find a new flavored tea to add to our list, but if you find we do not carry a flavored tea you are looking for, please let us know. If we can find the tea naturally-flavored, we are often happy to carry it.
