TenTea’sSM Third Grade Jasmine is our finest Jasmine scented Pouchong tea. This jasmine tea consists of Chinese Green Tea (Pouchong), grown in Taiwan, and is scented with jasmine petals. Accompanied by a few jasmine petals, these leaves are slightly larger than green tea leaves and rolled.
The water used to steep this tea should be about 160-180°F or 70-80°C. Use about 2 teaspoons (3 g) of tea leaves for about every 5 ounces (150 mL) of water. A steeping time of about 3-5 minutes with more or less time is recommended depending on the desired concentration. As a rough guide, the hotter the water or the greater the amount of leaves used, the shorter the steeping time should be. The use of a covered glass or ceramic cup is recommended for steeping in order to appreciate the tea leaves. Net tea weight 4 ounces (113.4 g) and shipping weight 0.29 lb.
Two steeps with a little dash of sugar. Smells delicious, but the flavour is still very mild. I let it steep too long, so this cup was a little bitter and not as pleasant as the first. Well, I was alternating between making tea and playing viola.
I really need to brew this properly someday.
