Jasmine Blossom Oolong Tea (No.307)
A floral and sweet Jasmine Oolong from Guangxi, naturally scented using traditional methods for a clean, elegant cup with a long-lasting aroma.
Jasmine Oolong Tea – Loose Leaf Floral Oolong from Guangxi
This Jasmine Oolong originates in Guangxi province, southern China, where tea makers unite two beloved traditions—floral jasmine and smooth oolong.
To create this tea, artisans begin with a Ti Kuan Yin cultivar and infuse the leaves with layers of freshly harvested jasmine blossoms.
After each scenting, they carefully remove the flowers by hand—leaving behind only the aroma.
As a result, this meticulous process, which leaves very few blossoms in the final tea, showcases a high level of craftsmanship and quality.
Consequently, the tea delivers a sweet, floral oolong that lingers on the palate and delights jasmine and oolong enthusiasts alike.
It’s a fragrant, soothing cup that invites slow sipping and deep enjoyment.

Origin
This Jasmine Oolong grows in Guangxi, a region celebrated for its biodiversity, rolling hills, and ideal climate for both oolong and jasmine cultivation.
Tea farmers first lightly oxidise and roll the Ti Kuan Yin leaves before layering them with jasmine blossoms multiple times.
After each scenting, they remove the flowers manually to preserve a clean taste and balanced profile.
Thanks to this technique, the tea is infused deeply with floral aroma while allowing the buttery oolong base to shine through.
Ultimately, this traditional, labour-intensive method results in a refined tea that celebrates the harmony between floral elegance and expert technique.
