About This Tea

Jasmine Oolong Tea stands as one of the finest expressions of tea craftsmanship from Fujian, China. The production process involves leaves that are partially oxidized through a meticulous process of withering, bruising, and controlled oxidation that can range from light and floral to dark and roasted, a technique developed through generations of careful experimentation and refinement. The geographical conditions unique to Fujian give this tea its unmistakable character, earning it recognition among tea enthusiasts worldwide.

A well-prepared cup of Jasmine Oolong Tea is a multisensory experience. The fragrance immediately conveys jasmine perfume with oolong depth, while the palate encounters floral jasmine with oolong complexity. Experienced tea drinkers often note how the flavor evolves as the tea cools, revealing new dimensions of taste with each sip. In terms of stimulation, Jasmine Oolong Tea is moderate in caffeine with 25-40 mg per cup, providing gentle alertness without the jitters.

Chinese tea culture, one of the oldest and most sophisticated in the world, has elevated tea preparation and appreciation to an art form spanning thousands of years.

Preparing Jasmine Oolong Tea requires attention to temperature and timing. Water at 85°C to 90°C brings out the best qualities of the leaf, while steeping for 1 to 1 minutes achieves the ideal balance of flavor and body. A ratio of 2.5g per 100ml of water is recommended. With up to 5 possible infusions, each cup provides a new opportunity to appreciate the nuances of this exceptional tea.

Today, Jasmine Oolong Tea continues to be celebrated both in its homeland and by tea enthusiasts around the world. Its unique flavor profile has earned it a devoted following among those who appreciate the art and science of fine tea. Whether enjoyed as a daily ritual or reserved for special occasions, Jasmine Oolong Tea represents a connection to centuries of tea tradition and the ongoing pursuit of excellence in every cup. The growing global interest in specialty teas has brought renewed attention to this variety, ensuring that the artisanal techniques behind its production continue to thrive.
