Description
Oolong tea from the Fujian province of China infused with the delicate scent of the night-blooming jasmine flowers. If you enjoy jasmine tea, we urge you to try the sublime taste of its well-made varieties. Our 'Jasmine Suite no. 12' is an exotic Dragon Phoenix Pearl tea, comprised of intricate jasmine-infused pearls. Each pearl combines two delicate leaves and an unopened bud. When added to water, the pearls majestically unfurl, releasing their delicate scent and flavor. A spellbinding treat for all senses. While not cheap, this tea is well worth the experience.
Story
Though sometimes referred to as green, jasmine teas are technically oolongs. They are prepared by mixing the delicate flowers of the night-blooming jasmine with tea each evening. With nightfall, the blossoms open and infuse the tea with their sweet aroma. Each morning, the spent flowers are removed and fresh blossoms readied for the evening. This process is repeated a number of times, depending on the grade of tea. For top jasmine grades, the nightly infusion continue for twelve consecutive nights.
"my first jasmine tea and it was great. perfect evening tea."
"Amazing tea! I am not a fan of perfumey teas, but this one tastes so natural, I'm hooked!"
"Love this tea. My husband is a jasmine fanatic, and now instead of going out for chinese food, just so we can have tea, I can make my own that's 100 times better."
"We purchased a sampler and like the taste. We will be purchasing more."
"Delicate and fragrant, this tea is so reminiscent of my childhood drinking tea with my grandfather and eating sweets."
"Jasmine #12 – Wow. First of all, I must say, that this tea is so beautiful I would drink it even if it tasted like coffee. The look of this tea is the first thing you will notice. Second, the smell. Very nice, the jasmine is very distinct. The third thing I hope you’ll notice is what happens when this tea is steeped - it’s like watching a time-lapsed film of a flower growing. It’s really something! The color of the brewed tea is a nice yellowish color which is slightly cloudy. The taste is very nice. If I had to say something negative about this it would be only that the taste of the jasmine almost completely overpowers that of the oolong (in my opinion.) I would definitely by this tea again."
