    While the He Family produces a beautiful Huai Flower tea of their own, they personally recommended the Lu Family's stunningly tiny huai blossoms as showing off another side of Laoshan's unique flavor. The Lu family works with the He Family in the same cooperative, so they collaborate on exciting projects like this one. The Huai Flower is a member of the Sophora family and has sweet rich notes of honey, cherry, licorice and sesame.
