The Mountains of Hunan Province

The mountains of western Hunan Province is a bastion of ancient tea-making traditions. Its rich, fertile landscapes, nurtured by misty climates and mineral-rich soils, have made it a prolific grower of some of the world's most revered teas. The region's deep-rooted history in tea cultivation stretches back centuries, making Western Hunan a true sanctuary for tea enthusiasts.

Grown at 750-950 meters, our base is the Mao Jian — one of the world's most delicate green teas and a specialty of the region. The tea is picked by hand and prepared then set aside until the Jasmine blossoms — also from the region — are ready. The two are paired at just the right time to create this harmony of flavor.

Fresh Plucked Jasmine Blossoms

Once the green tea is ready, it is picked by hand, prepared and then set aside until the Jasmine blossoms are ready to be blended in.

This pairing offers an evocative dance of flavors, where the jasmine's intoxicating scent and the tea's subtle grace converge in a cup of unparalleled elegance.

Tasting Notes

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Jasmine Blossom Tea ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
