Jasmine tea

Real jasmine tea is the original reference all flavoured teas have to compare themselves to. It is one of the few flavoured teas that is not flavoured with oils and essences but with real, freshly picked flowers. The tea maker's work with high-quality jasmine teas certainly requires a lot of time and craftsmanship. The jasmine flowers have to be picked at exactly the right moment and spread over the tea leaves at exactly the right time. Often, this is repeated several times with new, fresh flowers to develop a complete fragrance, as in our Jasmine Silver Tips and Jasmine Pearls Teji. Beyond the scent, it's crucial that the tea itself is of high quality, of a character that marries with the jasmine aromas. Jasmine tea was popularised during the Song Dynasty (960-1279) and is still as popular today. A thirst quencher in the heat, a warmer in the cold, and most often a mealtime drink. Jasmine tea is made for food. Light and elegant, but with flavours that can match strong spices and heat. Perfect for Chinese and Asian cuisine but also for many other things, Swedish fish dishes, sweets, desserts, why not the cream cake with strawberries? Also deliciously refreshing cooled, cold brewed and as iced tea.
