Description

Green tea from the Fujian province of China infused with the delicate scent of the night-blooming jasmine flowers. If you enjoy jasmine tea, we urge you to try the sublime taste of its well-made varieties. Our jasmine is the finest grade Yin Hao tea, perfectly suited for special occasions. It melts into a cup of sweet fragrance and delicate jasmine notes. You will be hard-pressed to find anything so sublime.

Story

Jasmine tea production is a two-step process. The tea is harvested and finished in the spring, then carefully stored until the summer, when the jasmine starts to bloom at night. Each evening, the tea is carefully layered with fresh blooms, which will open and give their scent to the tea. In the morning, the flowers are removed and the process is repeated again that evening. This happens several nights in a row, until the tea master has the aroma balance just right. At the end, the tea is refired to dry off any flower moisture imparted to the leaf. This is why some jasmines can have a toasty finish.

"A very nice jasmine tea. The jasmine flavor is balanced and lingering, yet it is gentle enough to not be overwhelming. "

"This seems to be the exact same blend available from the tea sampler on Think Geek. This, along with the earl grey bravo, was my first loose leaf tea and I enjoyed it very much. I haven't had many loose leaf teas to compare it to, but it is really good. I can usually steep the leaves three times."
