Java Jasmine Tea Loose 90g

Java Jasmine Tea is a fragrant and soothing tea, known for its delicate floral aroma and refreshing taste. Grown on the lush, fertile slopes of the Indonesian island, this tea combines the tropical climate and rich volcanic soil of Java to produce high-quality tea leaves that are handpicked and carefully processed. What makes Javanese jasmine tea unique is the traditional method of scenting the leaves with fresh jasmine flowers, which infuses the tea with its distinct, gentle fragrance. The result is a harmonious blend of green or white tea leaves, depending on the variety, paired with the sweet, uplifting scent of jasmine blossoms.

The process of making loose jasmine tea begins with carefully selecting the tea leaves, which are typically harvested in the early morning when they are at their freshest. Once the tea leaves are dried, they are layered with freshly picked jasmine flowers. This allows the tea to naturally absorb the floral essence as the blossoms release their fragrance overnight. The flowers are often replaced with fresh ones multiple times to ensure that the tea develops a rich, well-rounded jasmine aroma. After the scenting process, the tea leaves are dried once more to lock in the flavor and aroma.

Java Jasmine Tea can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Simply steep the leaves in hot water to release the floral fragrance and smooth taste, creating a calming and refreshing tea that can be enjoyed hot or cold. It’s perfect for sipping on its own or paired with light meals and snacks. The naturally soothing qualities of jasmine make this tea an ideal choice for relaxing after a long day, offering a sensory experience that combines the flavors of Indonesia’s rich tea culture with the serenity of jasmine flowers.
