Discover Tra Tien Jasmine Green Tea

Jasmine Green Tea

We looked at dozens of teas in evaluating the Tra Tien teas. We even purchased samples of $60-lb. whole leaf teas from the leading teahouse in Chinatown, NY, to compare with the Tra Tien teas. After comparing the appearance, freshness, aroma, brewing times and taste, we decided that the Tra Tien green teas (including the Jasmine and Lotus flavors) rated the highest in overall evaluation of these characteristics. These are truly exceptional teas, minimally handled in the Vietnamese "healthy tea" tradition. The leaves are small and relatively light in color

Tra Tien Jasmine Tea is a very delicate and sweet tea, strongly imparted with the scent of jasmine flowers. The tea brews to a clear green color. Delicious on its own, it nevertheless can be enhanced with the addition of a small amount of sweetener, if desired. When sweetened, this tea makes an excellent dessert. The addition of milk or cream is not recommended, though, because the cream dampens the floral scents.

The teas are very fresh and also very concentrated. You will likely use a little less tea than normal. Try brewing your first cup for 4 minutes, as we find that to be the best time for bringing out all the subtle flavors of the Jasmine tea without becoming too strong or bitter. After that, you can increase or decrease the time as you prefer.

To retain the maximum antioxidant health benefits, keep the bag tightly closed using a bag clip. While whole leaf tea will keep for a long time, its antioxidants will gradually lose potency if left exposed to air. We recommend using all the tea within a month for maximum freshness of flavor.
