Description
Jasmine Tea is a specialty among China Teas. It is prepared from green tea of chosen quality and scented with fresh jasmine flowers. It blends the fine flavor of green tea with the fragrance of Jasmine producing a unique drink which has won the favor of many tea lovers.
Jasmine Tea is known to have been produced as early as the Sung Dynasty over 700 years ago. Just as the Jasmine flowers begin to bloom, they are added to the tea leaves. The scenting is done at night to capture the full sweet scent of the Jasmine. After the tea leaves have absorbed the fragrance, the flowers are removed and the scenting process is repeated to produce a tea that has a fresh and natural bouquet.
Originating in the mountainous regions of northeast India, Jasmine is known by most for its intoxicatingly rich sweet smell. But Jasmine also has wonderful properties for skin care. It tones the skin, has anti-inflammatory properties and is especially well suited for dry and sensitive skin.
Because it was thought to have aphrodisiac powers for many centuries, Jasmine was an extremely valuable oil during ancient times and it was used in different cultures in many types of ceremonies. The Chinese used jasmine in sick rooms to cleanse the air. It was also used by Egyptians to relieve nervous disorders, insomnia and headaches. The Chinese still drink jasmine tea on a daily basis, and in Indonesia it is used as a garnish to food.

Directions
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 tea bag for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 tea bags 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 bags. 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].
