摘要：

Let's dissect a tea blend, say, "Strawberry Sunshine." The ingredients are black tea, freeze-dried strawberry pieces, natural flavor, and safflower petals. The visual appeal is immediate: bright red strawberry pieces promise an authentic berry taste, and delicate flower petals add elegance and color. There's an industry secret that usually surprises people—those beautiful strawberry pieces contribute virtually nothing to the actual flavor you taste in your cup. In our hypothetical fruit-flavored blend, the base tea might comprise 92% of the total weight, while those eye-catching strawberry pieces represent only 5%, natural flavoring accounts for 2%, and the decorative petals make up just 1%. The reality is that only the black tea base and the added flavoring create the strawberry taste experience. The tea acts as a flavor carrier, lending body and mouthfeel, while the fruit pieces and flower petals provide the crucial visual cues that help customers identify it as a strawberry-flavored blend.
