Roses bloom from May to June every year. When the blooming period is about to begin, fresh buds are picked. The production process is the same as the scenting process of traditional scented tea. The picked flowers are spread appropriately, the petals are folded, the stems and stamens are removed, and finally the clean petals and the prepared tea base are scented.
