Pandan Tea

Pandan Tea

　　Pandan Tea is a new tea product made from vanilla (known as the “King of Natural Food Flavors”) and high-grade black and green teas. It combines advanced tea-making technology with modern adsorption theory to create an internationally popular fragrance. The tea offers multiple health benefits including revitalizing the mind, protecting the liver, and supporting kidney function. Pandan Black Tea has a sweet, pure, and rich aroma, a strong and refreshing taste, and a bright red liquor. Its flavor improves when milk is added, and it tastes especially good when served cold. Pandan Green Tea boasts a fresh, long-lasting fragrance, a bright yellow-green liquor, a mellow and sweet aftertaste, and is especially refreshing when served over ice. (Haikou)

　　Pandan Tea is the most distinctive naturally scented tea on Hainan Island and stands out uniquely among China’s scented tea varieties. Before 1993, there was no pandan tea on Hainan Island. In that year, it was innovatively developed through collaboration between Hainan Xiangsheng Natural Foods Co., Ltd. and the College of Food Science at Southwest Agricultural University. On June 18, 1993, the Hainan Provincial Science and Technology Department hosted the “Hainan Province Pandan Tea Achievement Appraisal Meeting,” which unanimously approved the scientific and technological achievements of Hainan Xiangsheng Natural Foods Co., Ltd.’s Pandan Tea, recognizing it as a national-level Spark Program project.

　　Pandan Tea: In ancient China, during the Song Dynasty, it was common to add fragrant flowers to tea leaves to produce scented tea through fermentation, a practice with a history of nearly a thousand years. Flowers such as jasmine, ylang-ylang, magnolia, daisy, and osmanthus were commonly used. During the Ming Dynasty, orange peel was also used to scent tea. However, using vanilla — known as the “King of World Spices” — to create flavored tea was an entirely new development in China. Vanilla is an excellent natural aromatic plant and has become one of the world’s most beloved natural food flavors. It also has medicinal properties, such as treating stomach issues, supporting kidney health, and detoxification. It is listed in the pharmacopeias of the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, and is included in China’s Compendium of Materia Medica.

　　Pandan Tea is a healthy beverage rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds. Vanilla not only offers a rich chocolate-like aroma but also provides benefits such as supporting kidney and stomach health, improving intelligence, and enhancing beauty. By incorporating the beneficial components of vanilla into tea leaves, the health advantages of the tea are further enhanced. Since the aroma of vanilla beans does not come from blooming flowers, traditional flower-scented tea processing methods cannot be directly applied. This is because the over 200 aromatic volatile compounds and active medicinal components in vanilla beans must be extracted and concentrated. The successful development of Pandan Tea not only offers the public a delicious and premium natural aromatic beverage, but also contributes to improved human health.

　　Pandan Tea has a rich, elegant aroma that lingers long after brewing, maintaining its fragrance even after three infusions. It promotes “digestive comfort and smooth qi flow” after drinking, and has a pleasant taste, making it a rare gem among scented teas.
