While the purity of Camellia Sinensis is a marvel in itself, the world of tea extends far beyond the simple leaf that is often called a True Tea. Let's talk about flavor-infused tea.
Tumblr media
Infused tea
The practice of infusing tea with flavors dates back centuries, with evidence of flavored teas found in ancient Chinese and Indian cultures. Early methods of infusion involved adding herbs, spices, or flowers directly to the tea leaves during steeping. Over time, more sophisticated techniques were developed, such as extracting essential oils from aromatic plants and adding them to the tea.
Today, infused teas are typically created using one of two methods:
Direct Infusion: The most common method involves adding dried herbs, spices, or fruits directly to the tea leaves before steeping. This allows the flavors to infuse naturally into the tea, creating a harmonious blend.
Flavoring Oils: Essential oils extracted from aromatic plants can be added to the tea after steeping. This method allows for precise control over the intensity of the flavor and can be used to create subtle or bold infusions.
One of the most renowned flavor-infused teas is Earl Grey, a black tea infused with the fragrant oil of bergamot orange. The citrusy notes of bergamot dance harmoniously with the rich, full-bodied flavor of black tea, creating a truly exquisite beverage. Earl Grey is a versatile tea that can be enjoyed hot or iced, and it pairs well with a variety of foods.
Aside from Earl Grey, the world of flavor-infused teas is vast and varied. From the delicate floral notes of jasmine tea to the bold fruity flavors of berry teas, there is a flavor combination to suit every palate.
Tumblr media
Pictured above: (top) Jasmine infused green tea from Fujian Tea Import & Export Co., (bottom) Blood Orange herbal tea from Harney & Sons Fine Teas. [Blend: Apple pieces, rose hips, hibiscus, beetroot, orange peel, orange flavor, marigold petals, safflower petals.]
Some of the other popular flavor-infused teas include:
Jasmine Tea: A green tea infused with jasmine flowers, offering a delicate floral aroma and a slightly sweet taste.
Chai Tea: A black tea spiced with cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger, creating a warm and comforting blend.
Fruit Teas: A variety of teas infused with fruit flavors, such as strawberry, raspberry, or peach, providing a sweet and tangy taste.
Fruit teas are excellent for cold-brewed iced tea. I will cover cold-brewing later, so please look forward to that.
When choosing a flavor-infused tea, consider your personal preferences and the occasion. A delicate floral tea might be perfect for a relaxing afternoon, while a bold and spicy chai tea could be a comforting choice on a cold day.
The choice of infusion depends on the desired flavor profile and the characteristics of the ingredients being used. For example, delicate floral flavors may be best achieved using direct infusion, while strong, bold flavors can be created using flavoring oils.
If you wish to create your own infused tea, that will have to be a separate post. For now, it is enough to be able to identify the tea you are brewing so that you can handle it appropriately.
Brewing infused teas requires a balance of technique and intuition. First, identify the ingredients. When brewing a cup of tea, it's good to know what temperature and length of time to steep your tea for.
A tea labeled "Peach" may be a white tea with peach flavoring, and it may be best to brew it at a temperature appropriate for white tea. Blends may consist of varying ingredients that require different temperatures, so some experimentation may be in order to find the best brewing temperature to get the most of each flavor.
Tumblr media
Herbal tea
Beyond the True Tea, there lies a world of herbal teas, each offering a unique blend of flavors and health benefits. Herbal teas are made from a variety of plants, including herbs, spices, and fruits. They are often enjoyed for their medicinal properties, as well as their delicious taste.
As no part of an herbal tea contains the Camellia Sinensis plant, these teas are not considered "True Teas". That does not mean we cannot enjoy them, however.
For the most part, an herbal tea will not contain any caffeine, unlike the tea produced from the Camellia Sinensis plant. This makes them more suitable to enjoy in the evening or late hours.
Tumblr media
Pictured above: (from top to bottom) Roses, honeysuckle, chrysanthemums, mint and lavender.
Some popular herbal teas include:
Chamomile Tea: Made from chamomile flowers, this tea is known for its calming and relaxing properties.
Peppermint Tea: Made from peppermint leaves, this tea is refreshing and aids digestion.
Ginger Tea: Made from ginger root, this tea is warming and can help soothe an upset stomach.
Hibiscus Tea: Made from hibiscus flowers, this tea has a tart, fruity flavor and is rich in antioxidants.
As with many blends, it is helpful to experiment a little with the temperature and steep time to get the most of your tea. Intuition will follow experience.
Tumblr media
The ideal steeping temperature for infused teas and herbal teas can vary depending on the specific ingredients and desired flavor intensity. However, here are some general guidelines:
Delicate floral or fruity teas: 175-185°F (79-85°C)
Bold, spicy teas: 195-212°F (90-100°C)
Herbal teas: 175-212°F (79-100°C), depending on the specific herbs used
Serving suggestions: Cream is usually not served with fruit teas, as the acidity in some will cause the milk to curdle. Lemon slices are commonly served with Earl Grey, however, as with the fruit tea, lemon can also cause cream to curdle. Sugar or honey are appropriate for nearly any tea.
It's always a good idea to experiment with different temperatures to find the perfect brew for your taste. I hope this has been informational and helpful to my students who wish to become better acquainted with tea.

saw you talking about tea the other day and now i'm intrigued 👀 any flavors you're particularly fond of? asking for a friend also. please do ramble about it bc it's delightful :D
Jay! Hi! Fellow tea lover?
Hm… I love lots of teas, but really I prefer simple teas to anything super decadent or elaborate. I don’t ever add anything to my teas unless I’m sick (then I’ll add a bit of honey).
My go-to is just a simple green or peppermint tea, though I’m also a huge fan of spiced chai and earl grey. I adore jasmine tea - jasmine is probably my favourite, but it has to be a good jasmine, so I don’t have it all the time (again, it gets expensive). I always have some green or peppermint tea on hand though - a quality cup is always nice but I don’t as much mind if these are the cheaper kind.
I’m not a huge fruit tea person, though I did have a peach white tea once - that one was lovely cold - and of course a good lemon ginger is always nice. If I’m having bubble tea though, I always go for a mango or lychee green tea if they have it!
I have to say that I can’t remember what pu’erh tea was like - I know it was interesting and I liked it, but I’d need to try it again I think to recall it properly. I haven’t found a rooibos tea I’ve been particularly crazy about, but it’s nice too, just not what I’d gravitate towards.
If you want a sweet or dessert type tea, then any oolong is great, but I think I’m spoiled for that wuyi oolong now hahaha. I’ve had a vanilla black tea - it’s really good. I’d highly recommend that one. I also have this sweet apple-cinnamon tea with nuts. I don’t have it super often, as I’m not a fan of sugary teas but this one is a nice dessert on its own. It’s very nutty which makes it pretty unique.
When I’m sick, I’ve had a couple good teas. One I have for colds is a eucalyptus-mint. I recommend having this one only when you are very congested because boy is it strong. Tastes amazing though. Also my mom had several Korean friends when I was little, so I have fond memories of her making yujacha at their urging when I wasn’t feeling well as a young kid, and boricha for us to put in the fridge and drink cold. I love both.
I don’t usually have chamomile at home, but this is largely because on days when I’m really incredibly stressed (like, shaking with anxiety, actively spiralling, kind of stressed), I like to go for a walk in the evening and pick up a chamomile from a nearby café to take back with me. It’s an indulgence that way.
Other cool teas I have tried:
Butterfly pea flower tea: More of a novelty than anything but this tea is bright blue and changes to red when you add citric acid. It’s a natural pH indicator!
Lavender black tea: Incredibly good. This was another gift from my mom a few years back. Very nice in the evening.
Mushroom tea: These tend to be incredibly overpriced due to purported health benefits so I’ve only ever had samples but honestly? The ones I’ve had are very nice, a smooth, rich flavour. Not convinced they’re worth that price though.
Dandelion tea: People say this can be used as a coffee substitute. I’m not entirely sure I agree with that but it does have a dark roasted flavour that is similar to black coffee. It’s a little sweet though. I like this one a lot, but I only have this with food because if I don’t have anything in my stomach it makes me cramp a bit (as I found out the hard way) :/
Matcha green tea with roasted rice: Okay a friend of mine got me some of this as a gift when she went back to visit family for a bit and. Um. This tea is so incredibly good. We had some together and it was fantastic. I’ve been saving it and only having it at times I know I can really savour it because I want it to last. If you can find some good quality stuff I highly recommend it.
Aaaand sometimes, admittedly, I will enjoy an orange pekoe. It’s nice on occasion. I make it pretty strong hehe
I hope this was fun for you your friend! 😆
What are your favourite teas, Jay?

If The Bad Batch Drank Tea
I'm an avid tea drinker, borderline tea-snob. I can't have coffee because doctors' orders so tea is all that I drink besides water. I thought it would be fun to pair up the Batch with what could be one of their favorite tea blends!
All the tea blends I mention below come from Adagio Teas. They're my number one source for loose leaf tea! I have added links to the blends if you want to look at them yourself.
This is not sponsored, I just love to share tea with others.
Let's get started!
HUNTER
Tumblr media
Blend: Bonfire
Ingredients: Honeybush Tea, Apple Pieces, Lapsang Souchong Tea, Aniseed, Cocoa Nibs, Cinnamon, Rose Hips, Cloves, Orange, Red Peppercorn, Safflower, Natural Cinnamon Flavor, Natural Hazelnut Flavor & Natural Orange Flavor
Blend Notes: Honeybush hazelnut and cocoa nibs relax and ground you, while a spice blend of aniseed, cinnamon, clove, and orange peel offer cozy comfort and zest. Apples and rose hips add soft sweetness while a touch of Lapsang Souchong black tea and red peppercorn offer hints of smoke and the flickering spark of heat.
Headcannon: This is the tea Hunter drinks when he needs to get away from it all. The bold flavored brew fills all his senses and helps the rest of the world fade away into the background. It grounds him when everything around him is spinning. He'll brew a mug when the world becomes overwhelming or when his family is acting crazy.
WRECKER
Tumblr media
Blend: Honeybush Blueberry Pancake
Ingredients: Honeybush Tea, Rose Hips, Apple Pieces, Maple Flavor, Natural Blueberry Flavor, Blueberries, Blue Cornflowers & Vanilla Creme Flavor
Blend Notes: Juicy blueberries and the yummy taste of maple syrup blended with our naturally sweet Honeybush tea make for a delicious anytime breakfast treat.
Headcannon: It's no secret that Wrecker loves food, but a tea that tastes like blueberry pancakes? Yes, please! Breakfast in a mug is a great way to start the day. Wrecker loves to drink this brew when rations aren't cutting it or to satisfy his sweet tooth. He'll also eat the blueberries when finished. It's self-indulgent, but he doesn't care.
TECH
Tumblr media
Blend: Jasmine Phoenix Pearls
Ingredients: Green Tea, Jasmine
Blend Notes: Jasmine Phoenix Pearls majestically unfurl, releasing their delicate scent and flavor. Also known as 'Jasmine Dragon Pearls', their liquor is sweet and almost sugary. Very soft, airy mouthfeel
Head Cannon: Ever the sophisticated gentleman, Tech enjoys a simple brew when it comes to tea. This jasmine green tea is light and fragrant, but not overpowering. It's the perfect blend to increase concentration and invigorate the mind when tinkering away. He also enjoys the many health benefits and watching the leaves unfurl in his mug.
CROSSHAIR
Tumblr media
Blend: Chocolate Chai
Ingredients: Black Tea, Cinnamon, Ginger, Cocoa Nibs, Natural Chocolate Flavor & Natural Cinnamon Flavor
Blend Notes: Chocolate flavored Ceylon black tea is blended with cinnamon, ginger, and cocoa nibs. Soothing spicy cocoa notes, zesty, warming quality and soft liquid chocolate texture.
Head Cannon: Crosshair loves this blend because on the outside, it looks and smells like a normal masala chai, but on the inside, it holds and indulgent secret: chocolate. Crosshair loves chocolate, but he doesn't want anyone to know, so he drinks this unassuming brew to throw everyone off the scent.
ECHO
Tumblr media
Blend: Earl Grey Bella Luna
Ingredients: Black Tea, Coconut, Blue Cornflowers, Natural Coconut Flavor, Natural Bergamot Flavor & Natural Creme Flavor
Blend Notes: Robust Earl Grey shines with familiar bergamot notes, highlighted by a soft glow of coconut and cream. Rich, bright, and well-rounded.
Head Cannon: Echo loves to drink this tea on rainy days. It's his perfect, calming, go to brew when life is dreary and all he wants is to be wrapped up in a soft, warm blanket. Echo will also sip on this brew when he thinks of Fives. He'll sit with his mug under the bright moonlight and remember his brother fondly.
OMEGA
Tumblr media
Blend: Berry Blast
Ingredients: Hibiscus, Rose Hips, Cranberries, Natural Forest Berries Flavor & Blueberries
Blend Notes: A delicious blend of natural fruits and spices. The flavor is all-natural, emanating from black currants, cranberries, raspberries, elderberries, bilberries, hibiscus flowers, and rosehip peels. The cup has a bold and slightly tart flavor, with a juicy clean finish.
Head Cannon: The perfect blend for a rambunctious child! This berri-licious brew is Oemga's favorite thing to drink while out on a mission, and it tastes just like juice! When it's hot out, she'll drink it over ice, and it becomes very refreshing. Hunter won't let her have any caffeine and limits her sweets, but she adds sugar to it when he's not looking.
BONUS: REX
Tumblr media
Blend: 40 Winks
Ingredients: Valerian Root, Honeybush Tea, Chamomile Flowers, Spearmint Leaves, Lavender, Lemon Balm, Passion Flowers, Cherries & Blue Cornflowers
Blend Notes: Using a blend of herbs known to promote healthy sleep, we've combined valerian root, which is commonly used as a sleep aid, with the familiar flavors of soothing chamomile, spearmint, and lavender.
Head Cannon: Rex doesn't drink much tea, but when he does it's to help him go to sleep. Exhausted from dealing with the 501st shenanigans all day, Rex will winddown with this brew to ensure he gets some well-earned rest. Although it doesn't taste very good, the valerian root knocks him right out and nothing can wake him until he's good and rested.

Entry 22: Close
Tumblr media
FFXIV 30 Day Writing Challenge Prompt 22: Close Streamer AU Sunday!
“Alright,” Moenbryda said to herself, pressing the start button. It selected “Arcade Mode” and brought up a gauntlet of opponents for her character to fight. She turned to her camera and grinned. “Now, let’s see how it goes!”
As usual the first couple of battles went quickly and easily, Moenbryda’s eyes fixed on the screen as her character made short work of their opponents. “Oh, I remember this one,” she said, mostly for her chat’s benefit. “He favors kicks and mid attacks.” She bit her lower lip in thought as her character blocked and moved away from the attacker.
Sk8rTalented: Oh come on, attack! GravityWitch: If you want her to lose the run, sure.
Moenbryda rolled her eyes, ignoring chat for the moment. No matter how many times she played this game, she never could keep this one in her memory. It took several minutes, blocking the whole time, before it finally clicked. “Oh yes!” she cheered, and pressed the attack, uppercuts and lower kicks, and soon enough the battle was won.
GravityWitch: See, she knows what she’s doing.
She sighed, leaning back in her chair. “One day I’ll remember his moves,” she said with a wan smile.
A hand reached over her shoulder, placing a cup next to her mousepad. Steam rose from it, along with the scent of jasmine, lemongrass, and green tea. “A brief respite is required, I believe,” murmured a low voice, and she smiled up at the face it came from.
SuperVibrant: GLIMPSE
As the chat began repeating the word, like a pack of seagulls, Moenbryda laughed. “Thank you, Urianger,” she replied, lifting the cup for a fortifying drink. He smiled and leaned in to press a kiss to her temple, where her shorn hair began.
“Thou art most welcome, my dear,” he breathed into her skin, and she giggled lightly.
“Alright chat, a quick break before we continue the gauntlet,” she said, though she was looking only at Urianger. And he looked only at her.
Then she turned back to her streaming rig, pulling up her “back soon” screen and turning off her camera before turning back to him. “I think I can spare five minutes,” she said on a laugh, picking up her cup with one hand and wrapping her other around Urianger’s waist.
“Brigid hath sent an assortment of sweets, perhaps we shalt find some to our liking to accompany our tea,” he replied, wrapping an arm around her hips in turn.
“Oh, I hope she sent her double chocolate chip ones!”

7月22號 Day 11: Our last day
So today will be our last day in Taipei. We will be leaving tomorrow during a National air defense drill! So during the year Taiwan does an air defense drill which is similar to a tornado drill, just for the country. Everyone must be inside for 30 minutes during the day and all cars have to stop on the road. No one is allowed to e out and you get fined if you are. But, if you are on the highway you can keep driving, so hopefully we are on the highway when it happens so we don’t waste any time.
Anywho, today started at 9:30 and our first stop was to the Chengchi University. Yeh Laoshi and chief Redstone both went to school here but at different times. We got to check out the dorms where most foreign students would stay if they went here. The dorms were pretty nice. Definitely nicer than most UF dorms. The room was reminiscent of Wang Peng’s dorm. So Wang Peng is a character in our Chinese language book and there are videos we watch with specific dialogue. In some of these videos he is in a dorm room and his room looked like the ones we saw today lol. Downstairs they even have a room where you can borrow a Nintendo Switch to play games with your friends and also sing karaoke.
Then after the dorms we went to the library which was HUGE! It was built only 5 years ago in 2019. It was an eight floor library with so much seating and a lot of space. They had private rooms you could rent out and also they had a creative space where students can do imprints or 3D printing on a small and large scale. They had PLA printers, resin printers, and 1 giant 3D printer for bigger projects. They also had a cafe downstairs which had a good variety of drinks although I did not get anything.
After, we had our break for lunch. I went to a dumpling place with some of the others because Austin suggested it and it was sooooooo good. I had a mini pork wonton noodle soup with some addition potstickers on the side and it was all very good. Then as we were waiting in the heat for the bus, Yeh Laoshi kindly bought us all icecream from McDonald’s. It was really good, thank you Yeh Laoshi! Then we got back on the bus, which was the small bus, and headed to the location we have all been waiting for… the… Taipei Zoo!!! The zoo was good. We got to see leopards, elephants, camels, capybaras, hyenas, and so many monkeys. We saw PANDAS and this other animal I forgot the name of that was mostly donkey and some zebra. But it was very hot at the zoo and after walking for 2 hours we took the shuttle train back to the front of the zoo and met everyone else.
Then our final stop was the YaoYue tea house. It was located on the side of a steep mountain. We had a mini tea ceremony done by one of the workers, Peter, and Yeh Laoshi. It is awesome how intricate the tea making process is and all the little things the culture considered when making tea. Watching them make tea made me excited for the tea ceremony we have at the end of the trip. Also the tea was good and light. Not too strong at all and very refreshing. The type of tea we had was Jasmine tea which is very fragrant. After the tea Austin Jack and I rushed to get some Cantonese fried rice with Josh(Yeh Laoshi’s nephew) because it was closing soon. It was really good and also, it was Josh’s birthday today, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!
Academic reflection
So today I wanted to reflect on tea. Reading about all of the potential benefits of tea, I wanted to share that here. Tea is consumed by two-thirds of the world's population. It is very popular across the globe but not as popular in America as compared to other places. Because of this I have never done research on tea. I only have heard that it is good for you, but have not read any studies on it. So here is what I learned.
There are basically 3 bases of tea; Green tea, Oolong tea, and black tea. The difference between the three is the time fermented. Green teas is non-fermented, Oolong teas semi-fermented, and Black tea fermented.
Tea overall has a lot of positive effects. It contains many polyphenols, which are known to be a preventative agent. Specifically, the catechin epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG) is the credited to the anticarcinogenic effect of grean tea(cancer preventative). Many anticarcinogenic effects where only attributed to green tea but now more research has come out for black tea having similar benefits. Different types of cancer tea can help prevent are skin, prostate, lung and breast cancer.
Green tea also helps reduce reactive oxygen species(ROS) and promote fat metabolism to help reduce athlerosclerotic plaque in the blood vessles. This all promotes good cardiovascular health and decrease myocardial infarctions.
Green tea also lowers the risk of diabetes and artheritis in women and could potentially have neurological effects that prevent parkinon's disease.
After learning all of this, I felt so healthy drinking the tea and had so many cups of it. Not only was it good Jasmine tea, but knowing that they used green tea as the base for jasmine tea, I might start drinking more tea when I get back to the US.
Maybe drink some tea
Until next time, 再見!

Benefits of Jasmine Black Tea: A Fragrant Indulgence
Black tea with jasmine is a unique and delightful beverage known for its distinctive taste and health benefits. It offers a sweetish flavor with a hint of richness, eliminating the need for added sugar. Contrary to common belief, jasmine tea isn’t brewed solely from jasmine leaves; rather, dried jasmine petals are blended with black, green, or white tea leaves. This combination results in a tea that boasts a bright aroma, tangy taste, and numerous health advantages.
Tumblr media
Jasmine enhances the positive attributes of black tea by infusing it with essential oils that promote brain function, support the nervous system, and aid digestion. It’s effective in relieving bronchitis and asthma symptoms, aiding detoxification, and purifying the blood. Just a cup or two of jasmine black tea daily can help shed a few pounds over a month. The caffeine and tannins in black tea, intensified by jasmine’s essential oils, boost metabolism. The tart flavor suppresses appetite, while its natural sweetness curbs sugar cravings.
Tumblr media
Jasmine black tea has long been recognized for its mood-enhancing properties, fostering feelings of happiness and tranquility. It’s also a great warmer for chilly days.
However, avoid drinking it when you have a fever, as it may exacerbate elevated body temperatures. Historically, Chinese emperors reserved time for jasmine tea before intimate evenings with their beloveds, believing it could enhance sexual desire and endurance. Today, a cup of jasmine black tea can serve as a natural alternative to boost romance, though this remains a lesser-known benefit.

Ever wondered how tea became a staple of Chinese Tea? Or why tea is considered an essential part of their culture? And if you’re wondering, the answer is quite interesting, we’ll tell you that. But before getting into the interesting history of tea in China, let’s discuss some of the health benefits of tea.
The history of tea in China
The history of Chinese Tea goes back over 3,000 years. The tea plant is native to the Chinese continent, but it wasn't cultivated until the Han Dynasty (206-220 AD). During the Tang and Song dynasties (960-1279), tea became a popular drink among the wealthy.
In Chinese culture, tea is considered a sacred drink with many health benefits. There are several types of tea, each with its unique flavor and health benefits. Black tea is also known as green tea, and it's made from black tea leaves that have been steamed or dried. It is high in antioxidants and has been linked to improved heart health and reduced cancer risk. Green tea is made from green tea leaves that have been naturally processed into a bright green color.  It contains antioxidants and may help prevent chronic diseases.
Tea brewing is an art form that requires careful preparation and precise timing. Before you brew your tea, you should determine the type of tea you'd like to make. This generally involves choosing between black tea or green tea as well as the amount of leaf used. You can customize your brewing method by using different amounts of water and brewing time per cup.  After making your choice, follow the steps outlined in your manual to prepare your favorite beverage. Do not rush through the process; take your time to enjoy each step of the process. When you're done, sit back and enjoy your freshly brewed tea!
