The base for this Chinese speciality is green tea, to which fresh jasmine blossoms are added during drying time. The blossoms are later partially removed. This classical form of flavouring has been known in China for over 1,000 years. Jasmine tea is practically the national drink of China and is consumed at every time of day and on every occasion. This sweet blend still has many blossoms, leaving an intense, flowery jasmine taste and scent.
