This rare Chinese oolong tea is a connoisseur's treasure, roasted gently at low temperatures to highlight its pleasurable floral complexity.

How to Brew Jasmine Oolong Tea

What Is Jasmine Lactone and Why Does It Matter?

Jasmine lactone is a natural aromatic compound responsible for jasmine's distinctive, creamy floral character. Rather than using added flavouring, this oolong develops its jasmine lactone notes through a traditional maturation process — stored in wooden chests alongside real jasmine flowers — a slower, more labour-intensive method that produces a more authentic and layered floral profile than flavoured teas.
