Description

Jasmine tea is made from a combination of true tea leaves and jasmine blossoms. The jasmine flowers are typically harvested from one variety of jasmine plant known as Jasminum officinale. Today’s aromatic jasmine teas come from one of the two varieties of the jasmine plant: common jasmine and sampaguita. Related to the olive family, jasmine flowers effuse a deeply fragrant smell with a sweet finish. This herbal tea is frequently sold as jasmine pearls. The delicate pearls unfurl as the tea steeps, creating a beautiful presentation.
