A rich, green Fujian tea is picked in early spring and stored until the jasmine blossoms bloom in late summer. The fresh jasmine blossoms are then scattered over top of the tea leaves in such a way that the tea absorbs the aromatics of the flowers.
The taste is sweet and smooth.The jasmine scent is natural, sweet and not too strong, making the tea soothing and pleasingly balanced. Good for everyday use and always a relaxing cup.
Brewing Suggestions
Use 3 grams or a teaspoon of leaf for 8-12 ounces of water. Water temp of 185-195 F is best and steep for 2 minutes and taste. This tea can steep longer if greater flavor is desired; over steeping will bring on some astringency.
Jasmine scented teas are often given as gifts or served with meals around the holidays and New Years.
