Detailed Description
The process of producing Jasmine tea started in China sometime during the Song Dynasty (960-1279) using tea blended with Jasmine blossoms. Jasmine teas are created using different types of tea: white, oolong and green predominantly. The base teas used are picked, depending on the type of tea, from March to June, but the Jasmine blossoms do not bloom until the summer. So the teas are picked, processed and stored until the fresh blossoms can be added. The blossoms are picked in the morning when the dew has dried off the closed buds. The buds are then kept cool during the day and then in the evening, when the buds begin to open, they are mixed into the tea. After at least 4 hours, when the tea has absorbed the jasmine scent, the blossoms are removed and fresh buds are added. For standard grade jasmine teas, the blossoms are added 2 or 3 times. For premium grade jasmine teas, this process may be repeated up to 8 times. Once the blenders are satisfied that the tea has the appropriate amount of aroma, the tea is re-fired to remove the moisture that was introduced to the tea by the fresh jasmine blossoms. Jasmine tea destined to remain in China usually has the spent blossoms removed from the finished product, but with teas that are exported, jasmine blossoms are sometimes left in the finished tea for their appearance.

Historically the aroma of Jasmine blossoms was recommended for stress relief, depression and relaxation. For us, the aroma of Jasmine infused teas does have a profound ability to calm and relax!

This Jasmine tea, from the Fujian Province in China, is a scented oolong tea with a delicious jasmine flavor. The medium size tea leaves brew to a pale ecru cup with a strong jasmine bouquet.

Brew tea at 195º - steep for 3 minutes.

Certified Kosher

Jasmine teas are delicious combined with curries and spicy foods, poultry, meat, fish, fresh fruit, custards, and more.

Lovely hot or cold 4/13/2022
I was excited to try this jasmine oolong and it didn’t disappoint! The balance of floral to tea is just right for me. And it’s got a little of that apricot-y sweetness you get sometimes from jasmine. I drink it hot, but it tastes just as good cold, so I’m looking forward to buying more and having it iced when the weather gets hot.
 
Brings back memories 3/30/2021
I used to go to a small Asian restaurant that sold jasmine tea at meals. It’s been years since having this type of tea and once I tasted it, it brought me right back to that hole in the wall restaurant that I used to love. This tea is delicious and certainly has a strong Jasmine flavor. Looking forward to trying some of the other Jasmine teas SV has to offer

Too Much Jasmine Not Enough Tea 6/21/2019
The floral jasmine flavor in this is very strong to the point that I couldn't taste the oolong tea. However, I found that when blended with the tippy yunnan china black that I also ordered, the jasmine is toned down and it adds some much needed body and flavor.
