If you enjoy Jasmine Green Tea, it would worth trying the soft, full-bodied and sweet flavor silver-tip Jasmine Spring Chun Hao Green tea. This high grade green tea type comes from the Fujian province of China and the cup is sweet, floral, not too fragrant and has a lovely silky texture as you drink.

Jasmine Chun Hao means 茉莉(Jasmine )春(Spring)毫( Pekoe) and indicates that the green tea is harvested in the spring and mostly consists of young and tender buds that are still covered with pekoe, or silvery-white hair that protect the young developing leaves from harsh weather and insects.

When steeped, this tea produces a clear yellow-green brew. There is likely a jasmine aftertaste which is typically stronger than the naturally astringent flavor of the green tea.

This tea is great with spicy food!

How to brew:

It is very important to remember that green tea should be brewed with water at a temperature between 170f and 185f. Boiling water will make the tea taste bitter! For this delicate tea, we recommend 170f (75c). You can use a kettle with variable temperature, let the water stand for a few minutes after boiling or add a few ice cubes (about 4 per cup) to boiling water.

Western style (teapot or mug): Use 1 ½ tsp/cup meaning that if your teapot contains 2 cups, you will use 3 tsp of tea. Brew for 2 to 3 minutes.

Eastern style (gaiwan or small teapot, 1/2 cup or 120 to 150ml): Use 4 tsp of tea and brew 2-3 times, one minute for each infusion.

Cold Brew:

Delicious by itself or blended with Marigold Orange Tisane
