  • The most common entry-point to the world of traditional Chinese tea, jasmine teas vary dramatically in quality and flavor.
    In this video Alice explains the difference between “flavored teas” and “scented teas”, and showcases the range of premium, naturally-crafted styles we offer at Red Blossom.

    My introduction to Chinese tea was in restaurants when I was a child (NYC and San Francisco) primarily the standard teas each restaurant used. One day the owner of a local restaurant, who we were good friends with, brought out a very high quality jasmine tea for the table. OMG. I fell in love with it instantly! (I was around 7.) From that point on, jasmine tea has always been a very special tea to me and I'm never without it -- home or during travels. I tried your jasmine sampler and it was wonderful. All of them! The Dragon Pearl Jasmine Supreme is my favorite, as I love my jasmine tea to have a strong scent. The Inner Blossom Jasmine is wonderful too, and beautiful when serving company. Thanks again for great teas!

    • @redblossomtea
      @redblossomtea  Před 4 lety +1

      The Supreme is our favorite too. It's amazing how different the traditionally scented jasmine teas are from the mass-produced styles - a completely different experience! We're so happy you're enjoying our teas! :)

    The Dragon Pearl Jasmine Supreme came in one of your sampler packages. I had high hopes it would be better than the Asian restaurant teas I dislike. Unfortunately it still smells and tastes like zinc oxide ointment to me. Lesson here is that it isn’t always about quality. Not all tea styles are for all people. I adore oolong and puer, my husband really dislikes puer, and that’s okay.

    Jasmine Green Tea is my favorite tea. If I can only have one type of tea... and only one type of tea.... it has to be scented with Jasmine, doesn't matter if it is Green, White, or Black Tea base. (although I like the Green Tea base the most.)
    I've had Jasmine Green Tea Pearls as well as the Twisted kind

    Is there such thing as just Jasmine tea? Since all the jasmine tea are with green tea, are there just jasmine and no green tea?

    • @redblossomtea
      @redblossomtea  Před 3 lety +6

      Hi Nathan, that's a great question. Jasmine flower tisane (just jasmine flowers, no tea leaves) is actually pretty ubiquitous throughout China and can be found here in the States too, but we don't recommend it. Counterintuitively, the more jasmine blossoms a jasmine tea contains, the lower grade it is generally (you won't find the actual flowers in our most premium jasmine pearl teas). This is because jasmine is significantly less expensive to harvest and produce than tea leaves, so manufacturers often include it in the net weight of a product to decrease cost and increase profit margin. Unfortunately, when brewed in water jasmine blossoms don't really taste like jasmine - they have a very mild flavor, and often just taste flat and mildly bitter. This is why the traditional scenting process for true jasmine tea is so important; by allowing the jasmine blossoms to sit with the tea leaves over a period of multiple days and then removing the blossoms, the leaves absorb the aroma of jasmine, but retain the complex flavor of tea. This produces a much more aromatic and enjoyable brew.

    Are scented teas (jasmine) good for cold brew?

    • @redblossomtea
      @redblossomtea  Před 4 lety +3

      Yes, definitely worth trying!! The cold temperature will preserve more of the jasmine’s bright aroma.

  • @rhondagdesignsrhondagwellm4337

    I just recieved my jasmine tea today. It's the one you see on ebay in a yellow can. Cost 30.00 for a small can 200gm it arrived with a 2019 expiration date. For 30.00 I would have thought they would shipped it priority. 6 week waite! The flavor is flat, not even barely there. Also the can was badly smashed. 🙁

      Hi Rhonda, that’s an unfortunate experience. We think you’ll like our jasmine teas! We offer a nice range of traditionally scented jasmine teas, each of which is selected based on scenting duration. We also test them all for heavy metals, pesticides, and chemical residues. For the best flavor, try one of our jasmine pearls, they’re delicious!

      @redblossomtea  Před 4 lety +3

      @@rhondagdesignsrhondagwellm4337 Our more economical jasmine teas start at 1/4lb. (113g), which should last about a month with daily drinking. Our premium jasmine pearls start at the 2oz. sample size (56g), which will last about two weeks with daily drinking. If you click on the tea you are interested in, you will see the size options on right side of the product image.
      For an everyday jasmine, we recommend our Jasmine Yin Hao: redblossomtea.com/products/jasmine-yin-hao
