Pomelo flower tea is a cultural tea offering by the indigenous Hakka tribe in Taiwan. This method of tea making is truly special, and has been perfected through time. During the month of March every year, the pomelo season arrive where the pomelo flowers blossom to their fullest. Blossoms are harvested before noon to avoid any excess moistures like dew, before being packed with tea leaves at 1:1 ratio in a approximately 75oC environment for complete scenting process to commence. Traditionally, pomelo teas are tea leaves packed inside a fresh hollowed pomelo trunks followed by 9 cycles of heating with steam and hot air, making it a very incredible hard-pressed tea, which can be aged for years.
