Direct from the origin

The Jasmine Tea was first processed back in China’s South-Song Dynasty, which was further developed in the Ming Dynasty. It originated in Fuzhou City of Fujian Province, and is currently mainly produced in Fuzhou City (Fujian), Suzhou City (Jiangsu), and Heng County (Guangxi).

Farmer - Mrs. Wu

Mrs. Wu is one of the best tea makers in Heng County of Guangxi Province. One of her specialty brews is the Jasmine Tea with a Green Tea base. According to her, “The process of mixing tea leaves with flowers is incredibly exciting. Our production method needs to be precise to bring out the best flavour in the main two elements.”

 

The hardworking farmer continues to invite more people to enjoy the subtle but intricate flavour of his Jasmine Tea. Mrs. Wu promises that she will continue to champion the tea culture in different locations.

Farmland - Heng Yuan Garden

This Jasmine tea comes from the Heng Jasmine Garden in Heng County of Guangxi Province. The tea garden spans thousands of acres, and you can smell the fragrance of the Jasmine even from a distance. The little plump white flower buds are plucked and harvested every mid-May.

Heng County of Guangxi Province is one of the biggest producers of Jasmine Tea in the country, and the locals take pride in the quality of their brew. Their goal is to work as a community in the preservation of the environment which the village knows is instrumental in the production and growth of their planters.

Finally good one

Finally I can find real good jasmine teas. It's not 'artificial' like some others that I had before, esp they source from the origin! I found it amazing.

Classic

Classic Jasmine tea! Singaporeans usually don't like teas that are too 'deep', and I found this to be just suitable for me. The floral taste is immense!

SO FLOORED WITH THE TASTE

I got this as a sample, and was so floored with the taste I ordered more before I was even done with my cup. I'm usually not a fan of aromatic teas, but this is so amazing, I am now addicted. Even my brother is a fan of this after he followed the smell and liked it enough to have to try it too. And he is NOT a tea person. Now he wants a tea maker though!

10x better

I ususally drink this tea during yum cha. Actually this is the only tea that I've tried in Chinese restaurant. But I found this tea much different what I've tried in all the Chinese restaurants, the taste is so 'real' - floral and grassy. If you want a 10x better version of the Jasmine tea you tried in Chinese restaurant, you should try this one
