The green tea used for Green Jasmine is grown in the hilly region of Fujian, a province on the southeast coast of China and the country's largest tea-producing region.
The dark green leaves have white buds, which clearly indicates that only the youngest and most delicate tea leaves are carefully hand-picked in the spring.
The subtly nuanced jasmine fragrance of green tea comes from the addition of freshly picked jasmine blossoms, which are then carefully removed. This intricate process is repeated several times. This method, which enhances the tea's delicate aroma with the floral scent of jasmine, has been known for over 1,000 years and guarantees an elegant and luxurious tea experience.

Green teas should be brewed with water at a temperature of 80 to 85°C (leave the water in the kettle for about a minute after it has stopped boiling). For a perfect cup, let it steep for 2 to 3 minutes.
