Detailed Description
(Jasminum grandiflorum) Jasmine blossoms come from an evergreen plant that is native to South Asia, but is now cultivated in other warm climates. Jasmine blossoms brew to a light golden cup with a light, earthy taste. Jasmine has been used medicinally for centuries. It is found in many tea blends, potpourri blends, cosmetics and more.

Jasmine flowers, when picked, have the fresh lovely aroma we're used to. Once the blossoms have dried, however, the aroma has dissipated. When Jasmine flowers are used to make tea, they are picked and added to teas (black, green, etc) to infuse the tea with the jasmine aroma. These dried Jasmine blossoms are used mainly for their medicinal properties or as visual additions to tea blends.

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 5 minutes.

Caffeine Free.

Not as I expected 12/6/2015
I thought I would buy some of this jasmine and add it to whichever tea I choose, whenever Im having a craving for jasmine. The dry leaves look like full flowers and also drier looking single petals. I tried these brewed on their own, a ton of leaves went into the brew basket. I brewed them for around ten minutes close to boiling. Sadly, the scent and the flavor isnt as much of a jasmine explosion as I would have liked. I knew from the scent from the pouch that the flavor wouldnt be what I was hoping. Really, it seems more of a vegetal flavor somehow... really really vegetal. It seems more like chrysanthemums to me, but that could be that in both instances, youre brewing flower petals without tea leaves. I guess Ive been spoiled with some really amazing jasmine teas in the past. Maybe Im just not using the correct parameters. S&V suggests brewing for five minutes at 212 degrees.
