Jasmine tea
If you have ever wanted to drink a tea that mimics the experience of sitting next to a blooming jasmine on a summer day, this green tea scented with Guangxi Jasmine flowers is a perfect choice.
The taste blends an intensely sweet floral nectar with a refreshingly gentle vegetal green making for a very smooth and heady experience. Truly an excellent example of an exquisitely scented tea with an aftertaste that stays with you long after the cup has emptied.

For best results brew in a tall glass and fill with water before adding the leaves. Too high water temperature would burn the leaves, and the tea will taste bitter and sour.
