Part 1: Floral Fragrance – The gentle sound in every cup of tea
🌸 Have you ever had a cup of tea and exclaimed:
“What kind of tea smells like orchids! It feels like there is a whole garden of flowers in your mouth.”
Or sometimes, just smelling the scent is enough to calm the heart…
Those floral notes – jasmine, orchid, osmanthus,… – are not random.
It is the result of meticulous perception and bold decision of the fermenter – the “conductor” in the symphony of tea flavors.
During the fermentation stage, raw tea begins to transform.
Just a few hours of deviation and the scent can disappear, shifting to a completely different level.
And at that moment, the tea maker must listen deeply, use their sense of smell and feel the smallest movements of the tea leaves – to choose and retain the exact “aroma” they want.
After the “soul” has been “retained”, the tea leaves are heated to kill the yeast, as a way to lock in the chosen scent melody – not letting it slip too far.
At Tri Viet, tea is also carefully “refined”, removing old fibers, leaf fragments, and small stems – things that can make the aroma cloudy and murky.
Like filtering out noise so that a musical note can ring out clearly.
☘ Tea can speak. But it only speaks when its maker listens.
And if you have ever been moved by the gentle floral scent in a cup of Oolong tea or green tea from Tri Viet – then congratulations, you have just touched a part of the soul of tea.
