Jasmine Green, a classic, offers familiar, sweet floral aroma without overwhelming. The flavor retains a hearty undercurrent, with medium-bodied green tea providing ballast and contrast. The jasmine and green tea balance and inform one another perfectly. Jasmine Green tastes robust enough to count as a morning tea, and delicate enough to qualify as dessert.
To create this scented blend, tea is laid on screens over the jasmine, so the tea leaf naturally absorbs the aroma. We source this exquisite tea from Jingmai Mountain in southern Yunnan, where the 700 to 1,000 year old ancient tea trees grow. The Dai people have handpicked the ancient tea trees for millennia, ensuring quality and maintaining this cultural tradition. In addition, the ancient tea trees provide rich antioxidants and nutrients unique to that area alone.
