About Jasmine Tea
Green tea scented with jasmine flowers
Jasmine tea is green tea that has taken on the scent of jasmine flowers. Ours is a green tea from Nepal with jasmine flowers in the blend, so the aroma reaches you before the taste does. In the cup it is pale gold, light and gently sweet, with the clean body of a green tea underneath.
Because it is a green tea it contains caffeine, roughly a third of a cup of coffee, so it suits the morning and afternoon. Brew one teaspoon per cup at about 80°C for two to three minutes. Boiling water makes green tea bitter and drives off the jasmine, which is the whole point of the tea.
It needs nothing added; sugar and milk both bury the flowers. It takes a second steep well, and cold-brewed overnight it makes a delicate iced tea. Jasmine and green tea is one of the oldest pairings in tea, and this is the plain version of it.
