Jasmine Orchard Oolong – A Floral Delight
Prepare your taste buds for something truly special with Jasmine Orchard Oolong. This exceptional tea blends the unique characteristics of Oolong with the ethereal sweetness of jasmine petals, buds, and a medley of orchard fruits from around the world.
The Oolong Base
At the heart of this blend is Oolong tea, known for its semi-fermented nature. Unlike green tea, which is unfermented, and black tea, which is fully fermented, Oolong occupies a delightful middle ground. Think of it like a banana: green tea resembles a yellow banana, while black tea is akin to a blackened, overripe one. As a result, Oolong offers a flavour profile that is both green and floral, with delicate notes of orchid that emerge in each cup.
Infusion of Jasmine
Next, we introduce a green tea infused with jasmine petals and buds. Jasmine not only imparts a luscious floral aroma but also adds exceptional depth and character to the blend. The result is a beautifully fragrant tea that tantalizes your senses.
A Medley of Orchard Fruits
To elevate this blend, we add a vibrant assortment of dried fruits, including peach, strawberry, apple, and mango. Each fruit bursts with juicy flavor, and together they create a sensational taste experience. The combination of these fruits harmonizes perfectly with the floral notes of jasmine, enhancing the overall profile of the tea.
The Finishing Touch
Finally, we sprinkle in safflower petals, which add a soft herbaceous layer to the blend. Interestingly, safflower is one of the world’s oldest crops, often used to dye fabric. In fact, chemical analysis of textiles from the 12th dynasty of Ancient Egypt has confirmed the use of safflower dyes, highlighting its rich history.
A Memorable Cup
Put it all together, and you’re left with a cup of Jasmine Orchard Oolong that you’ll never forget! Each sip delivers a delightful combination of floral, fruity, and herbaceous notes, making it a perfect choice for any tea lover.

Indulge in Jasmine Orchard Oolong and let its captivating flavours transport you to a blooming orchard on a warm spring day. Whether enjoyed alone or shared with friends, this tea promises a delightful experience in every cup.

HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Briefly infuse with freshly boiled water and then pour off. Re-infuse the tea and pour after about 1 minute or longer to taste. Milk & sugar are not recommended. Ideal Brewing Temperature: 85ºC/185ºF. For Food Safety reasons bring water to 100ºC/212ºF and let it cool down to 85ºC/185ºF.
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml 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 or removing the tea bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the leaves or removing the tea bags. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
