Flower of Fujian

This is the first green tea we have carried from the Fujian province, let alone a green jasmine tea from there. Folks, this is a tea that will make anyone with taste buds enjoy a green jasmine! It strikes the perfect balance between the sweet, soft/relaxing nature of the whole jasmine flowers and the crisp, energizing flavors of a top-notch green tea. This is a must-try and will make a great gift for any of your tea drinking friends. We were able to acquire a sizable stash of this tea and we are passing the deal we got right on to you. While we will work to source tea from this same grower in the future, it is doubtful we will ever be able to do so at such a price again, so get this while it lasts and enjoy the savings! Spring picked in 2023 and scented with summer 2023 jasmine flowers.   Facts - Type of tea: Jasmine Green tea - Origin: Fujian Province, China - Flavor profile: Delicate, Floral, Sweet, Refreshing, Balanced. - Amount / 500ml (17oz): 1-2 teaspoons - Steeping temperature: 175 to 185°F (80 to 85°C) - Steeping time: 2-3 minutes   Health Benefits Jasmine green tea is rich in antioxidants called catechins.
