The Earthy Paradise Jasmine is an exceptionally well-made jasmine tea. The leaves have a very tight and wiry roll with an over abundance of white mottled tips. The ‘tippy’ nature of the green tea signifies a superior tea. ‘Tip’ is only possible when the estate practices fine plucking and a 3 or 4 day plucking rotation. The mottled effect is from teas that are plucked in the first 2-4 weeks of the new season when the days are warm but the night temperatures are piercingly cool. Further into the season when the evenings are warm as well, the bush grows 24 hours per day eliminating the possibility of fine plucking. The quality of this exceptional Jasmine tea evokes adjectives such as complex, subtle and mystery from long-unopened jewelry boxes. This jasmine tea is a favorite one in our tea house.
New Jasmine blossoms become available about mid May. The new blossoms have the most intense fragrance. After the blossoms are layered between the fine green teas, slightly warmed air is drawn through the layered tea. The delicate fragrance of the blossoms impart itself on the tea leaves. Interestingly Jasmine blossoms are used about 9 times. It is only during the 2nd use of the Jasmine blossoms that this jasmine tea made. Each time the Jasmine is used the flavor becomes less delicate and subtle. The more common grades of jasmine tea contain the flowers, but flowers are removed from higher grades. You will note that this jasmine tea has virtually no flower petals, an additional sign of superb quality.
Because of its taste and health benefits Earthy Paradise Jasmine tea is also a great pregnancy tea.
Brewing Tips - Hot Tea: When preparing by the cup, this jasmine tea can be used repeatedly - about 3 times. The secret is to use water that is about 180’F or 80’C. Place 1 teaspoon in your cup let the green tea steep for about 3 minutes and then begin enjoying a cup of enchantment - do not remove the leaves from the cup. Once the water level is low - add more water, and so on and so on - until the flavor of the tea is exhausted. Look at the pattern of the leaves in the brew, not only do they foretell your fortune but you can see the leaves and the flowers petals pointing the way to good health and prosperity.
Brewing Tips - Cold Tea: The most popular of iced tea recipes: Place 6 teaspoons of jasmine tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.]
