Previously, we introduced the concept of scented tea leaves, and we believe that scenting tea has been a significant aspect of tea’s history. A popular tea that most people have heard of, “Earl Grey,” is an example of tea scented with citrusy bergamot. Scenting tea has become so common that some people may not even realize Earl Grey is scented.
However, although Teplo offers around 30 different types of tea leaves, one key characteristic of our official selection is that we exclusively handle non-scented tea leaves. In this article, we will explain two reasons why Teplo’s official tea leaves do not include scented varieties.
Reason 1: Enjoy the True Potential and Variety of Tea Leaves
Even without added scents, tea leaves can naturally produce a range of fragrances—such as floral, cherry leaf, peach, or mint-like aromas—based on the type of leaf and the processing method. When artificial scents are added, they can often overpower the tea’s natural fragrance, diminishing the tea’s original characteristics. Teplo offers about 30 types of tea leaves, a small selection out of the thousands available worldwide. We carefully curate teas that highlight the craft of tea producers, allowing you to experience the full potential of non-scented, naturally fragrant tea.
Reason 2: Non-Scented Teas Show Greater Flavor Variation with Brewing Conditions
While scented teas can change in flavor and aroma depending on brewing temperature and time, non-scented teas are more sensitive to these conditions, resulting in more noticeable changes in flavor. It can be challenging to perfect the brewing process for non-scented teas, but this is where the Teplo smart teapot excels. By collecting data on brewing conditions and replicating the optimal ones, our teapot ensures you get the best flavor and aroma from the tea. This is why we focus on delivering non-scented tea that showcases the full range of its potential when brewed with our Teplo teapot.
For these reasons, Teplo’s official tea selection consists of non-scented teas. Of course, our Teplo teapot and Teplo cold brew carafe can brew scented teas as well, so feel free to explore your favorite teas with Teplo!
