Chinese Jasmine Tea Sampler

I’ve always been a tea lover—my go-to’s at home are black tea, jasmine tea, and oolong. So, you can imagine how excited I was to discover a new brand of jasmine tea to try!

iTeaworld hails from Shenzhen, China, and has been in the game for over 20 years.

Their jasmine tea gift box comes in this elegant yellow packaging, and inside is a white box with a beautiful Chinese aesthetic. The tea is individually wrapped, and the moment you open a pack, you’re greeted with a rich jasmine aroma. There’s also an envelope of tea bags made from corn fiber—such a thoughtful design! These tea bags make it super easy to enjoy a fragrant cup of jasmine tea anytime, anywhere, whether you’re at home or out and about.

The Jasmine Tea Set includes four different types of jasmine tea, with five packs of each: Jasmine Bi Luo Chun (3 times scenting), Jasmine Maojian (5 times scenting), Jasmine Zhen Wang (7 times scenting), and Jasmine Bai Hao (9 times scenting). The number of scenting cycles (窨) indicates how many times the tea leaves have been infused with fresh jasmine blossoms. The higher the number, the richer and more intense the flavor, with 9 times being the most fragrant and full-bodied! You can really experience the evolving jasmine aroma as you work your way through the different teas, savoring the layers of flavor.

I’ve heard that making jasmine tea is no easy task. Tea leaves are picked in spring, immediately processed, and stored until summer when jasmine blooms. Then, the fresh flowers are carefully blended with the tea leaves.

Even though I drink jasmine tea regularly, I’ve never paid much attention to the number of scenting cycles. As long as the tea has a strong jasmine flavor, I’m happy—most of the time, I just go for Maojian. But after trying iTeaworld’s teas, I’ve learned so much. With 3 or 5 scentings, the jasmine aroma takes center stage, blending beautifully into the tea. By 7 scentings, the tea develops a more complex flavor. And 9 scentings? That’s where jasmine and tea reach perfect harmony, showcasing what a truly high-quality cup of tea should be.

I started with the Bi Luo Chun. The tea soup was light, a pale yellow, with a soft jasmine fragrance. It was smooth, soothing, and left a lasting sweetness.

Next, I tried the Jasmine Bai Hao. As soon as the tea brewed, the jasmine aroma filled the air—it was so refreshing and long-lasting. Each sip felt like being transported to a field of jasmine blossoms, with a delicate and layered taste.

All in all, iTeaworld’s Jasmine Tea Gift Box is fantastic. Whether you’re gifting it or enjoying it yourself, it’s a real treat. One box gives you four top-tier teas, each one a masterpiece. Highly recommend it to all tea lovers out there!

iTeaworld is such a gem! Not only does their jasmine tea have an irresistible aroma, but they also include a little guide about jasmine tea in the gift box, taking us on a delightful journey into the world of floral tea culture.

Let’s start with the packaging.
Their eco-friendly design feels both traditional and elegant, with a cut-out box that has a touch of Suzhou garden charm.

As someone who grew up in the Jiangnan region, this box really hit home. It’s like sipping a cup of nostalgia while enjoying premium jasmine tea overseas.

The side of the box features QR codes for Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit, encouraging tea lovers to join their community. This is such a clever way to promote Chinese tea culture—it’s both modern and relatable.

Inside the box, you’ll find tea bags and a handy instruction booklet. Each tea bag even has a brief description on the back. The brewing steps are super clear, making it a breeze for anyone, whether you’re treating yourself or gifting it to family or friends this holiday season.

The gift set includes four types of jasmine tea:

Jasmine Bi Luo Chun (Triple Scented)
Jasmine Mao Jian (Five Scented)
Jasmine Needle King (Seven Scented)
Jasmine Silver Tips (Nine Scented)
Five sachets of each, 20 in total.

While the small packets can be a bit tricky to open, once you do, the blend of tea and jasmine fragrance is absolutely delightful.

Each tea has its own unique flavor profile, but I (let’s go with Annabel for my English name!) am partial to the Bi Luo Chun and Mao Jian—their floral notes really stand out. Even after the second or third steep, the aroma and taste remain beautifully intact, adding a bright and refreshing touch to my day.

When the weather gets colder, I imagine the Jasmine Needle King and Silver Tips will be even more comforting.

You can brew the tea directly to watch the leaves and jasmine flowers dance in the water, or use the tea bags for precise brewing time. This ensures a clear, bright tea liquor every time.

While enjoying these teas, I also learned about the different levels of scenting (three, five, seven, nine times) and the fascinating history behind jasmine tea.

Originally, floral teas were a niche indulgence of Chinese scholars. The process, called xun cha or yin cha, involves infusing tea leaves with floral aromas.

Fun fact: Chinese painter Ni Zan (1301-1374) might’ve been the first to record the process of making floral tea. He would stuff loose tea into a freshly blooming lotus, tie it with hemp string, and let it absorb the fragrance overnight—repeating this three times to create lotus tea.

Jasmine tea, however, didn’t gain widespread popularity until the late Qing Dynasty. Even Empress Dowager Cixi was a fan, and soon, jasmine tea became a daily staple for many.

Back then, even Cixi’s “double-scented” jasmine tea only involved two steps: one during tea production and another before drinking, using fresh jasmine flowers.

Today’s methods, like the ones used in iTeaworld’s gift box, involve scenting the tea three, five, seven, or even nine times. No wonder jasmine tea is celebrated as the “First Aroma Under Heaven”!

Just a heads-up: while jasmine has calming properties, since it’s blended with green or white tea, it’s best enjoyed during the day to stay energized and radiant—and still sleep soundly at night.

If you’re a jasmine tea lover, this set is a must-try!

As a tea lover, jasmine tea will always be my favorite—plus, jasmine is my all-time favorite flower.

The moment I opened ITeaWorld’s tea pack, I was greeted by the most amazing jasmine aroma.
You can actually see whole jasmine blossoms mixed in with the tea leaves, and the fragrance is perfectly preserved.

They use a traditional scenting process, where the tea is repeatedly infused with fresh jasmine flowers 5, 7, or even 9 times. This results in different layers of aroma, blending the floral and tea notes beautifully.

Tea scented 3-5 times has a more intense jasmine fragrance.
Tea scented 7-9 times offers a subtler, more complex aroma that unfolds gradually, enhancing the tasting experience.
The sampler I received includes four types of jasmine tea, each with a different level of scenting:

Jasmine Bi Luo Chun (3 rounds)
Jasmine Mao Jian (5 rounds)
Jasmine Needle King (7 rounds)
Jasmine Silver Needle (9 rounds)
The set also comes with matching tea bags and a detailed brewing guide, explaining water temperature, tea-to-water ratio, steeping time, and more.

I started with Bi Luo Chun. The jasmine aroma was bright yet gentle, and the tea had a clear, light body. Unlike the bold richness of black tea, it offered a soothing, refreshing taste. Even after multiple steeps, it didn’t turn bitter or lose its flavor.

Each tea pack contains quite a bit of tea, so if you’re brewing for just one person, you can adjust the amount accordingly.

Besides jasmine tea, ITeaWorld also offers oolong and green tea sampler sets, which look equally tempting and worth a try!

Hello, everyone! It’s your tea hostess, Roxy, bringing you another tea-tasting adventure! Tea is part of my daily routine, and while I usually lean toward black teas (got quite the stash at home), jasmine tea holds a special place in my heart. Even though I don’t drink green tea often, jasmine tea’s floral aroma and versatility make it my go-to for everything—from simple hot brews to fancy fruit tea and bubble tea creations. It’s a classic, crowd-pleasing tea flavor that never loses its charm. You just can’t help but love it!

This time, I got my hands on iTeaworld’s Jasmine Tea Gift Set. The moment I opened the box, I was hit with an incredible wave of jasmine fragrance—it’s the kind that wakes up your senses instantly!

The set includes four varieties:

3-time scented Bi Luo Chun
5-time scented Mao Jian
7-time scented Silver Needle King
9-time scented White Hair Silver Needle
For those curious, the process of “scenting” (窨, yìn) is when jasmine flowers and tea leaves mingle through natural breathing cycles. Each scenting session takes 5-8 hours and requires a lot of raw materials and effort, which really shows the premium quality of this set. The more scenting cycles, the more intense the aroma.

The gift set even comes with a handy brewing guide—follow it, and even beginners can brew a perfect cup!

Hot Brew
I started with the 3-time scented Bi Luo Chun. The tea liquor was crystal clear, and the aroma was just heavenly. Even after 3-4 steeps, the flavor remained rich and satisfying. Only high-quality tea can balance so harmoniously with jasmine like this!

Cold Brew
For the cold brew, I placed the tea leaves in biodegradable tea bags and popped them into my cold brew bottle. Then, I poured in some purified water and added a few ice cubes to help the tea leaves steep properly. The tea extracted super quickly.

What I love about jasmine green tea is that it’s smooth and non-bitter, even with a 9-time scented variety. It left my mouth feeling refreshed and full of floral notes. Adding sparkling water or fruit took it to a whole new level—pure bliss!

Personally, I’m a cold brew fan through and through. It preserves the wonderful jasmine aroma while minimizing any potential bitterness from the green tea. Perfect for all-day sipping!

Big thanks to this incredible Jasmine Green Tea collection for giving me the chance to try so many lovely jasmine-infused teas! This set is such a brilliant idea. iTeaworld really goes above and beyond when it comes to selecting the perfect teas for their customers!

Growing up, my dad had a big influence on my relationship with tea. As a kid, I didn’t understand the appeal—it tasted bitter and astringent. Why on earth did he enjoy it so much? But as I got older, I began to appreciate its beauty. I even started borrowing books from the library to learn about tea history, varieties, craftsmanship, and its health benefits.

This time, I’m reviewing iTeaworld’s Jasmine Tea Set, which features four different types of jasmine green tea, five bags each:

Jasmine Bi Luo Chun (triple scented)
Jasmine Mao Jian (five times scented)
Jasmine Zhen Wang (seven times scented)
Jasmine Bai Hao (nine times scented)
The number of scentings indicates how many times jasmine flowers are infused into the tea leaves.

So far, I’ve only had the chance to try the Jasmine Bi Luo Chun (thank you, random cold for blocking my nose and ruining my tea experience for now 😭). With my sense of smell out of commission, I couldn’t fully enjoy the aroma, but here’s what I noticed:

The Jasmine Bi Luo Chun leaves are tightly curled but quickly unfurl when steeped, releasing a slightly intense yet perfectly balanced jasmine fragrance. I found myself taking a few extra sniffs of that lovely aroma between sips.

The tea liquor is a light green hue, classic and clean, but don’t let that fool you—the flavor is anything but weak. Even after a few brews, the delicate jasmine and green tea notes linger, making for a wonderfully soothing tea session.

Once my sense of smell is back in action, I’ll update with my thoughts on the other teas in the set. But my gut tells me they’ll all be winners!
