Premium Pomelo Flower Tea (Citrus Maxima) – The Rare & Fragrant Heritage Tea of Vietnam

1. Introduction to Pomelo Flower Tea

Pomelo Flower Tea (Trà Hoa Bưởi) is one of Vietnam’s most seasonal and exquisite herbal treasures. The blossoms of the Citrus maxima tree bloom only for a short window in early spring, releasing an incredibly potent, sweet, and citrusy aroma that can perfume an entire orchard.

At Vinahugo, we capture this fleeting scent through meticulous harvesting and advanced preservation techniques. Whether used as a pure herbal infusion or to naturally scent premium green tea leaves, our Pomelo Flower products offer a nostalgic, elegant, and deeply relaxing experience.
