'''Jasmine tea''' is a tea which is scented with jasmine flowers. Originally, only [[green tea]] was used to scent with jasmine flowers. However, nowadays white, black and oolong tea is scented with jasmine too. The jasmine flavor is added either by blending the blossoms with the tea or by steaming tea in jasmine flavor. The jasmine blossoms are removed by hand as soon the jasmine flavor is absorbed by the tea. High quality jasmine tea is blended up to seven times with fresh jasmine blossoms. | '''Jasmine tea''' is a tea which is scented with jasmine flowers.

This jasmine tea is produced particularly thorough. The jasmine flowers are blended several times with the tea and removed by hand after a while. The tea leaves are then rolled into small beads. The quality of Jasmine Dragon Pearls can be assessed among others by the number of white buds. A brighter infusion is also an indicator of good quality. | This jasmine tea is produced particularly thorough.
