Making Jasmine Flower Tea

Purchase our organic Jasmine Flowers or any reputable brand and follow the steps below. You want to use water that is nearly boiling, never lukewarm. Water should be at least 170F/80C. Hot water helps to release healthy polyphenols from the tea, but water that is too hot is thought to cause bitterness. Add roughly 1 teaspoon of loose tea leaves per teapot (roughly 3-5 cups of tea).

Tea should be steeped for one to five minutes. The polyphenol content of the tea will increase with greater steeping time, but more than 5 minutes can result in bitter tea. Many believe that green tea tastes ideal when brewed for just one minute.

Optionally strain the tea, pour into warmed teacups, and sip gently while the tea is still hot.

You can serve jasmine tea as iced tea!

Never drink jasmine tea that has been made the day before. This will result in bitter tea.

If you wish to make iced jasmine tea, instead you should double the quantity of tea (so use 2 teaspoons OR 2 teabags per 3 to 5 cups of water), and allow to infuse into the cold water for roughly 45 minutes to one hour.

The making of flowering tea is an old tradition that combines the beneficial aspects of herbal tea with the added attraction of watching dried flowers come to life when placed in heated water. Jasmine flower tea is one of the more popular plants to use, and the small flower buds create an interesting visual display as they release their fragrant and homeopathic essence.

The art of making flowering tea is a well-respected craft that has been handed down through many generations of Chinese artisans. Carefully selected combinations of flowers and other flora are woven together in a time-honored tradition to create a unique show of regeneration, as the flowers spring to life in the water during the steeping process.
