Jasmine tea is made by blending finished base teas with fresh jasmine blossoms, allowing the dry tea leaves to absorb the floral aroma. The resulting tea is known as jasmine tea.

Our Jasmine Green Tea Sampler features four types of Chinese green teas as the base, each scented with jasmine flowers through different numbers of scenting sessions—3, 5, 7, and 9 times. These teas represent a variety of classic green tea shapes in China:

• Curled (Biluochun)
• Tightly rolled with visible silvery buds (Mao jian)
• Needle-shaped (Zhen wang)
• Covered in fine white hairs (Bai hao)

Each variety offers a unique green tea taste. With increasing scenting sessions, the jasmine aroma becomes progressively more intense, allowing you to experience the true artistry of traditional Chinese flower-scented tea.

• Four types of packaging are randomly dispatched.
• During the aging and transportation process of aged tea, the packaging and the tea itself may get damaged. Please be cautious when purchasing if you mind this.

What is Aged Jasmine Tea? 

Aged Jasmine Tea is a unique category of jasmine tea that has been carefully stored for decades, allowing its flavors to develop and mature over time. While fresh jasmine tea is prized for its bright floral notes, aged jasmine tea offers a deeper, smoother taste with a richer texture.

About Fuqing Dongge Overseas Chinese Tea Factory 

The Fuqing Dongge Overseas Chinese Tea Factory, established in 1963, is a renowned producer of high-quality teas, specializing in jasmine-scented teas. Located in Fuqing, Fujian, an area rich in tea cultivation, the factory has been dedicated to preserving traditional tea-making methods while ensuring the highest standards of craftsmanship. With decades of experience, Fuqing Dongge has become a trusted name in the tea industry, especially known for its aromatic jasmine tea, which has gained popularity both domestically and internationally. The aged Jasmine Tea from this factory is a testament to their commitment to excellence and the beauty of time-enhanced tea. 

This jasmine tea is made with fresh Hengxian jasmine flowers from September 2025, scented three times with Guangxi Lingyun Baihao autumn tea. This specially selected autumn tea base is high in fragrance and low in bitterness, offering a natural aroma with no additives. The floral fragrance is pure, long-lasting, and the taste is refreshing. It's suitable for all seasons, whether hot or cold.

Biluochun is one of China's most iconic green teas with a legacy that spans a thousand years. It's renowned for its unique floral and fruity aroma, often hailed as the most fragrant tea among greens. Traditional Biluochun tea gardens interplant fruit trees with tea bushes, allowing the leaves to naturally absorb a rich bouquet of floral and fruity scents, creating Biluochun's distinctive fresh and natural fragrance.

Our connoisseur-grade Biluochun is handpicked from the collective species (Jiu Keng variety) tea garden in Jiangdong Village, Tongguan Village Committee, Daibu Town, Liyang City, Jiangsu Province. The tea is personally crafted by Master Zhang, who has 30 years of tea-making experience. He adheres to the most traditional hand-crafting techniques to ensure that each leaf embodies the authentic flavor profile of Biluochun. Master Zhang's Biluochun boasts a distinct floral and fruity aroma, a long-lasting aftertaste, and a refreshing spring vibe with a delicate mouthfeel.

This tea is harvested before the rain, selecting the high-grade one bud and one leaf tea materials. The leaves are plump and tender green, and the tea soup is clear in color with a fresh sweet taste, almost devoid of astringency. Although its flavor and quality are on par with products from the core production area, the price is only half to one-third of the core origin products, making it a Biluochun tea with both high quality and great value for money.

Reasons to recommend:

Unique floral and fruity aroma: Biluochun's signature scent comes from the interplanted fruit trees in the tea garden. The dry tea has a natural, light aroma that becomes more pronounced upon brewing, making it especially suitable for tea enthusiasts who prefer a subtle fragrance.
Traditional handcrafting: This tea is handmade by Master Zhang with 30 years of experience, ensuring that the shape and flavor of each tea leaf are perfectly preserved. Handcrafted tea has a more delicate taste and a long, lingering aftertaste.
Great value: Although the tea comes from the surrounding high mountain tea gardens of the core production area, the quality is comparable to the authentic origin, but the price is only half to one-third of the tea from the core production area, making it suitable for consumers who pursue value for money.
High-grade picking: The tea is picked according to the high-grade standard of one bud and one leaf, especially before the rain, ensuring the tenderness and fresh taste of the tea leaves, and the tea soup is clear and bright.
Not recommended for:

Tea enthusiasts who prefer a strong roasted flavor: If you like the strong roasted flavor or bean flavor brought by the pan-frying process of Longjing or Biluochun, the floral and fruity aroma of this Biluochun may not meet your taste preferences.
Consumers with a limited budget: Although this tea offers great value, there may be cheaper options for consumers who are solely focused on price.
In summary, if you're looking for traditional craftsmanship, high quality, and a unique flavor profile, and you're fond of Biluochun's distinctive floral and fruity aroma, this connoisseur-grade Biluochun is an ideal choice for you.

Enshi Yulu is a long-standing Chinese green tea made with the traditional steaming process, making it the only green tea in China that still uses this ancient method. The steaming technique was passed from China to Japan during the Tang Dynasty and has since become the main process for Japanese green tea. With its unique seaweed aroma, similar to Japanese sencha, Enshi Yulu retains the essence of traditional Chinese tea making.

Our Enshi Yulu comes straight from the heart of its production area, the Banqiao Dong Autonomous Township in Enshi, Hubei, China. The tea leaves are personally handpicked and crafted by Master He, a tea farmer with over 20 years of experience. His garden grows local Enshi tea varietals, and he selects only the highest grade of one bud and one leaf to ensure every sip is fresh, rich, and sweet without astringency, accompanied by a slight seaweed flavor. Most importantly, this tea is naturally rich in selenium, an essential trace element that can boost immunity, combat oxidation, and help lower blood pressure. Enshi, known as the "Selenium Capital of the World," offers these health benefits through its tea.

Reasons to choose Enshi Yulu:

We noticed that many popular Longjing teas are "knife-cut" varieties. These Green Tea are made from leaves cut after high-grade teas have been hand-harvested. As a result, they contain more stems, and the leaves are often incomplete, producing a weaker flavor and possibly coming from non-authentic Longjing varieties. We wanted to offer a Longjing tea that delivers the authentic taste, variety, and craftsmanship at an entry-level price, allowing more people to experience the true flavors of this iconic tea.

Why choose our Longjing?

Craftsmanship: Handcrafted by a Longjing master with over 30 years of experience, our tea combines traditional techniques and modern refinement.

Seasonal Selection: We’ve chosen 谷雨茶 (Grain Rain) tea, which is harvested just after Qingming tea. The taste difference is minimal, but the price is significantly more affordable.

High-Altitude Quality: Our tea comes from Zhejiang Lishui’s Longjing heirloom variety. The climate and high altitude (900-1000 meters) offer conditions similar to West Lake, but with superior pricing and quality.

Leaf Grade: Selected for its high grade—one bud, two leaves—this tea is always made from the freshest spring harvest of the current year, ensuring it is new every year. Ideal for those who enjoy a clean, refreshing taste with signature chestnut and bean notes.

Precision Hand-Picking: Each batch is handpicked to ensure no stems and minimal tea dust, ensuring a purer brew with authentic flavor.

This tea is perfect for:

Tea lovers seeking an authentic Longjing experience with superior craftsmanship, and flavor,
People needing a mild caffeine boost, as Longjing’s caffeine content is moderate, helping with focus and alertness,
Tea culture enthusiasts, as Longjing is one of China’s top 10 famous teas with a rich history and tradition.
If you're looking for an entry-level authentic variety, craftsmanship, and flavor in Zhejiang Longjing, this is the most cost-effective option we could find!
