Taste characteristics:
Jasmine tea originated in Fujian Province and has over 150 years of history. It is a tea loved both at home and abroad.
The production of authentic premium Jasmine tea is very labor intensive. Premium tea leaves are picked and processed in early spring. The finished tea is then stored away to be used as the base tea with the jasmine flowers that bloom later in the summer.
High-grade Jasmine tea like the Silver Needle Jasmine is made in August of each year when the jasmine flowers are most fragrant. The base tea is brought out from storage to be scented by the fragrant jasmine buds. Each round of scenting takes 12 hours, plus more time for the shifting and drying of the leaves following each round of scenting. The Silver Needle Jasmine undergoes eight rounds of scenting over a span of a few weeks. As a result, the fragrance of this jasmine tea is intense (yet subtle), natural and long lasting.
Brewing guide
Brewing guide
Place 3 grams of tea in a 4-6 oz. gaiwan or teapot. Start steeping using 190 degree F water (88 C) for 20 sec. for 3 infusions. Gradually increase steep time for subsequent steeping.
After the brewing of hot tea is completed, place the spent leaves to infuse in a water bottle and enjoy more jasmine tea all day long.

I've aways found jasmine tea a little flat. Then I tasted this amazing tea and I'm in love-with the aroma, the flavor, that extra something that grows with each sip. I will be ordering more!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the quality of this jasmine tea. Good tea is always rewarding.
Love this tea - amazing gentle flavor
A high quality jasmine is very alluring.
this is my second time purchasing this tea from you - I love it. Probably the best Jasmine tea I have ever had
Thank you for your support. I always believe that life is too short to drink bad tea. A good quality tea speaks for itself.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Both teas were amazing - will only be steeping this type of jasmine tea. from now on
Haha! Once you have the good stuff, it's hard to go back to the lesser quality ones. You have been 'spoiled.'
