Morphology

tea-scented = tea + scented (transparent) = tea + scent + ed

The adjective is a straightforward compound of 'tea' and 'scented' (scent + -ed), so the meaning 'having the scent of tea' follows directly.

Etymology

Tea-scented joins tea, the drink whose name came into English from Chinese through Dutch, and scented, which comes from scent meaning 'smell'. So tea-scented simply means 'having the smell of tea', like a candle or soap that smells gently of tea.
