Three generations of family know-how in naturally scenting teas is blended into this offering. Our Premium Jasmine Oolong is prepared by choosing the freshest flowers from the 1st and 2nd day of a new seasonal blooms that are brought to us in the middle of the night from the neighbouring County of Changhua, where the most fragrant and sweet Jasmin comes from. They’re the only ones we’ll consider to permeate our tea with a beautifully balanced and soothing floral aroma. Jasmine also renders a beautifully sensual sweetness to the cup which further accentuates the natural creamy finish of the Premium Jin Xuan varietal used as a base for this blend. All in all; a beautiful balance of good body and lingering presence with soothing ethereal notes. Experience for yourself why pure Jasmine tea is the customary tea of choice to welcome guests in all good Taiwanese families.
This Lot 1290 of the same tea was awarded a Gourmet recognition at the AVPA 2019 Teas of the World Contest in Paris.

Naturally scenting teas with fresh flowers is a very ancient tradition in China. In the same spirit, our family has been perpetuating this craft for over 4 generations now. As opposed to the more common green or white teas used for scenting in China, we choose to work with the already aromatic and expressive oolong and black teas that grow in our neighboring townships which are natural choices for scenting. Our flowers are also sourced locally and delivered to us just at sundown just after being picked for optimum freshness and fragrance. Then, we carefully blend in the flowers with the tea at the nightfall, when they are blooming and at the peak of their perfume. The tea and flowers are given a full night to consume their fragrant union. The morning after, flowers are then removed from the tea, one by one, before they turn sour and dull the taste and aroma. If required, the operation is repeated until the desired balance of scent and flavour is achieved. Timing and skill are of essence in obtaining the perfect blend.

This is an absolutely beautiful, surreal tea and the best jasmine tea I have ever had in my life. I come from the tropics so the fragrance of Arabian jasmine is very dear to me. The best scent of the Arabian jasmine is when it first opens during the night and this scent is truly captured in this tea. Most other teas have a semblance but this particular tea tastes like the jasmine flower just blossomed. Absolutely terrific.

Truly a soothing experience.
