This premium jasmine tea is recommended for jasmine tea lovers and those who want to enjoy high-quality jasmine tea.
Quality Jasmine Tea Relies on the Quality of the Tea Leaves!
Jasmine tea is not made from jasmine flowers or leaves. Typically, base tea is obtained, and jasmine scent is infused into it to make jasmine tea. Therefore, the quality of the base tea leaves is crucial. The biggest challenge in making good jasmine tea is obtaining high-quality tea leaves for base tea.
All our jasmine teas are made by infusing freshly plucked jasmine flowers on the same day. Lower quality jasmine teas may recycle flowers that have already been used or use flavorings, but the difference in flavor quality is vast.
In general, a small amount of magnolia (a type of magnolia) is used in addition to jasmine flowers for scenting Jasmine Pearls (Mo Li Long Zhu). For making Snow Jasmine (Bi Tan Piao Xue), only fresh jasmine flowers are used for scenting without using magnolia.
Producing Snow Jasmine (Bi Tan Piao Xue) from Mengding Ganlu
Snow Jasmine (Bi Tan Piao Xue) is a representative jasmine tea of Sichuan Province. However, in recent years, it has become difficult to obtain satisfactory quality due to the rising prices.
Many people wanted Snow Jasmine (Bi Tan Piao Xue), so we needed to improve our sourcing methods to get good tea.
Instead of approaching Snow Jasmine (Bi Tan Piao Xue) processors, we directly sourced the base green tea, Mengding Ganlu, from the producers and sent it to a jasmine factory in Guangxi Region for scenting with jasmine flowers.

Perfect for Cold Brew and Desserts
Snow Jasmine (Bi Tan Piao Xue) is very delicious as a cold brew due to its refreshing flavor and deep flavor. Drinking cold-brewed Snow Jasmine (Bi Tan Piao Xue) on a hot summer day feels like the tea is spreading through your body, providing a refreshing sensation.
To make delicious cold brew tea, use "boiled and cooled water" instead of raw water. Boiling once increases the sweetness and flavor. As a guide, use about 5g of tea leaves for 1-2L of water. Adjust the concentration to your preference, starting with 1L/5g and diluting if it's too strong. To make cold brew tea, put the tea leaves in water and leave them in the refrigerator for about half a day. Cold brew tea will retain its fresh flavor for about three days in the refrigerator. Remove the tea leaves once the flavor is sufficiently extracted to avoid any bitterness.
Storing Snow Jasmine (Bi Tan Piao Xue)
We include an oxygen absorber when shipping tea to create an anaerobic state. Therefore, the tea can be stored for 4-5 years or more depending on the environment in an unopened state while maintaining its freshness. Over long-term storage, the tea will not lose freshness but will gradually mature, developing a peach-like flavor. This flavor pairs well with jasmine tea, but if you want to maintain the state of the tea as it was at purchase, store it in the refrigerator. However, if you take the tea out of the refrigerator, the water condensation takes place and tea leaf will oxidize within a few days. Therefore, after taking it out of the refrigerator, let the tea return to room temperature for 24 hours before opening. If stored anaerobically in the refrigerator, jasmine tea can maintain its purchase-time freshness for 20 or even 30 years. However, storing opened tea in the refrigerator will accelerate deterioration, so avoid refrigerating opened tea.
