Jasmine Oolong Tea
Authentic Jasmine Oolong is a premium tea that combines the fresh, fragrant notes of Jasmine flowers with the smooth, rich flavor of Oolong tea. The process involves carefully blending freshly bloomed Jasmine flowers with Oolong tea leaves during the drying stage, allowing the tea to absorb the flower's natural fragrance. The more times the tea is scented with Jasmine flowers, the more intense and aromatic the floral notes become. After the scenting process, the tea is dried again to lock in that fresh, vibrant Jasmine aroma.

For the best flavor, Jasmine Oolong is typically made with high-quality, lightly fragrant Tie Guan Yin Oolong tea leaves, harvested during the summer or autumn season. The result is a tea that’s perfectly balanced: the fresh, lively Jasmine fragrance mingles seamlessly with the smooth, creamy taste of Oolong. It’s like stepping into a garden full of blooming Jasmine flowers, where the sweet floral notes and the smooth, sweet tea create a refreshing, comforting experience in every sip.

This Jasmine Oolong tea is perfect for anyone who enjoys a balance of light floral notes with a rich, smooth finish—ideal for any time of day when you're craving something fragrant and refreshing.
