Why Jasmine Tea is Different from Other Tea
Whether you drink tea all the time or are just becoming acquainted with it, you should try Jasmine tea. Of all Chinese tea, this is one of the most popular, a type of tea that was first discovered in the Sung Dynasty some 700 years ago. Workers found that by hand plucking the leaves just prior to blooming, an amazing flavor was produced.
Once the leaves are plucked, they must be kept in a cool place until nighttime. At that point, the full flavor and fragrance are released.

I am asked often why tea is so expensive and while I am not sure why, I find myself feeling frustrated. In truth, this presents an opportunity for me to get the truth out to consumers that not only is high quality tea affordable, but also delicious, not or cold. Misconceptions such as this are another reminder that the western world with all its advances is still behind in knowledge when it comes to tea.
