Tea Farm

We sourced this refined tea exclusively from a small, family-operated tea farm in a prime location: Fuding, the internationally acclaimed region for silver needle tea. The field for this tea is located at 700m elevation at Mt. Taimu, the birthplace of white tea and top terroir in Fuding.

Character

Flavour

Traditionally, jasmine tea is produced by mixing fragrant blossoms with white tea. No additional flavours are added in any other form. We offer jasmine tea made with silver needles that is produced according to these same standards. The delicate floral notes of the tea leaves (da bai hao cultivar) perfectly complement the intense aroma of jasmine blossoms.

The most exquisite silver needles from Mt. Taimu are selected for this tea. The needles are then naturally fragranced via mixing with fresh jasmine blossoms from the acclaimed growing region of Heng in Guangxi. The jasmine blossoms are mixed with the tea and then carefully removed by hand. For each of the three mixing stages, new blossoms are used. The resulting tea is exceptionally elegant and creamy with delicate notes of butter and an intense jasmine aroma. The tea is furthermore rich in L-theanine and caffeine.

Laboratory Tests

We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements.

Cultivation & Processing

The tea field is located in an idyllic mountainous landscape at over 700m elevation. The terroir offers ideal growing conditions with steep mountain slopes and good drainage. The tea farm is near the Taimushan National Park with its spectacular peaks, river valleys, and waterfalls.

The jasmine blossoms used for fragrancing are sourced from the acclaimed "jasmine region" of Heng in Guangxi Province, Southwestern China. Numerous farmers cultivate jasmine on over 10 hectares of land there. Exquisite jasmine has been grown in the region for centuries.

Single Origin

This tea is exclusively sourced from the above mentioned tea farm in Fuding near Mt. Taimu. Sourced directly from the tea farmer.

Preparation

Brewing Guide

3 heaped tsp in 100-300ml (70°C) water. Steep for 3 minutes. Suitable for several infusions.

Packaging

High quality, airtight, resealable standing zipper pouch with 9 protective layers to preserve flavour and protect against oxidation and contamination.

Recommended Accessories

For an especially aromatic infusion, we recommend a yixing teapot made from clay, or a black tokoname kyusu with a fine ceramic strainer. Alternatively, a tall glass teapot with an integrated sieve can be used for a more neutral taste.
