Jasmine Green Tea

Description

Jasmine Green Tea

Jasmine Green Tea, also known as Jasmine with Flowers, is one of the most pleasant tasting green teas available on the market. A Jasmine Tea is a green tea with surprising body and a captivating floral character accentuated by specially selected jasmine blossoms. You first detect the scent of a floral bouquet of jasmine flowers in bloom. The scent might invoke thoughts of a flower garden. The jasmine scent and drying process imparts the classic jasmine flavor you expect.

The production of jasmine tea is quite interesting. It is important to begin with high quality green tea – tea that has been produced between the middle of March and the middle of May. Equally important for jasmine tea are fine jasmine blossoms – flowers that bloom between the 1st of May and the end of May as these have the most intense aroma. Traditionally layers of jasmine blossoms were placed between fine green tea. In time the scent of the jasmine permeated the tea. Today, hot air is passed through the jasmine blossoms and then filtered through the tea so that the blossoms can be used more than once. Produced in both China and Taiwan, jasmine tea yields a cup with all the concentrated heady bouquet of a garden in bloom.

We also carry Jasmine Pearls for the Jasmine lover who enjoys a fuller jasmine flavor and watch the pearls unfold in their cup.  A sight to behold.  For a twist on Jasmine, we also have a Jasmine Lychee Green Tea. The Lychee adds a delicious dimension of flavor to the jasmine.
