Flower tea is sometimes called scented tea.   The base of flower tea can be black, green or whatever. Then ingredients like flower petals might be added.  Flower tea is popular in northern China.
Mo Li Hua Cha (Jasmine Tea) It is a famous tea made from Green, Pouchong, or White tea leaves that are scented with jasmine flowers. The flowers are layered over the tea leaves during the scenting process. The quality of Jasmine tea is determined by the quality of the tea used as its base and the effectiveness of the scenting.
