Jasmine Tea

How our Jasmine tea is produced

Jasmine has been produced in China for around 700 years and is used to scent most varieties of tea, however green tea seems to be the more popular.

If traditional methods are used, the blossoms are picked as they are about to open in the morning and placed in a cool area until evening. They are then added to green tea leaves at night when the petals release their fragrance and repeated for several nights until the desired aroma and flavour is achieved.

Depending on the desired effect by the producer, some of the jasmine flowers can be left in the blend or mostly removed. If flowers are present in the tea it is not an indication of lower quality. The important factors related to the quality of Jasmine are the grade of tea used together with the skill of the producer to infuse the flowers.

Our Jasmine Green uses premium organic green tea and local Jasmine flowers (non-organic).
It’s hard to go wrong with our Jasmine Green. The scent is soothing and light. With its delicate sweetness your mood will surely lift to a more upbeat tempo.

How to brew our Jasmine tea

• Bring filtered water to boil then let sit for a minute or two to reduce the water temperature to around 90°C - 95°C.
• Warm your pot and cups by adding hot water, swirling and then throwing.
• Add 5g of Jasmine Green directly to the pot and pour 200ml of the hot water into it.
• Allow the tea to steep for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Second and third infusions with same leaves are the best flavour. Can be infused more times as desired.

Note- it is best to have a separate teapot for each variety of tea you consume. The highly scented Jasmine Tea will inhibit the natural flavour and smell of other teas, especially quality white or green Tea.
