The Chinese name “Bi Tan Piao Xue” means “snow falling upon an emerald pond”. It is one of several famous fine teas from Sichuan province that we proudly carry. Jasmine tea is popular in Sichuan province, and is commonly served in the local tea houses. Most jasmine scented teas are typically made from lower quality tea leaves. However, this top grade jasmine tea is produced from the finest quality green tea leaves. They were picked in April with buds and small amount of young leaves, handcrafted and stored for a perfect wedding to the jasmine flowers that bloom and are plucked in June.

As soon as I opened the packet of this tea, I knew I was in for a treat: there were beautiful green, fluffy strands of dry leaf mixed in with whole dried jasmine flowers. One rule of thumb for jasmine teas is that the higher-quality stuff uses real flowers rather than jasmine essential oil, so it was really good to see that here. The smell was also lovely: fresh and floral, with a hint of sweetness.
The resulting tea was a very pale yellow that darkened as it cooled. And yes, the jasmine was really pleasant. There was a sense of sweetness and a long, lingering aftertaste. Plus, it stays consistent across steeps: the jasmine flavour is just as strong (without being cloying) on the second steep as on the first.
