How is it made?

Jasmine is famous for it’s scent, so the process of making it is all about the tea scenting. Firstly, the tea leaves are picked in spring, then stored until late Summer when the Jasmine blossoms are in their prime.

The Jasmine flowers will release their fragrance during the night, so this is when the tea scenting process begins.

The two main methods of scenting are:

• Alternating the layers of jasmine and leaves
• Blending the two and leaving to store overnight

The scenting process can take over four hours, it can be repeated up to six or seven times, so a lot of work goes into this luxurious product, but the results are most definitely worth it.

It doesn’t stop at the Teapot…

There are lot’s of different ways to use Jasmine in your kitchen, here’s a few:

• Flavoured water – it tastes amazing and it’s a great encouragement to drink more water.
• Iced tea – a fantastic idea in our opinion, enjoy by customising your own flavours (we suggest lemon, mint and lime), or add your choice of alcohol to make a refreshing cocktail.
• Smoothies – an easy way to add more flavour to your morning smoothie.
• Baking – get creative with your cakes and try some flavour combinations with jasmine, we think coconut would be a great one.
