Flavor profile

Sweet and floral. Blends well with other dried flowers, mild herbs and citrus peel.

Common jasmine, (Jasminum officinale), also known as poet's jasmine, is the species revered for its floral scent. The plant has been grown as an ornamental and for its highly fragrant flowers for centuries in China, Japan and throughout Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Jasmine is also the national flower of Pakistan, where it is commonly known as "Chambeli."

Jasmine flowers are commonly enjoyed in China as a tea, sometimes combined with green or black teas. In fact, "flowering teas" are hand woven from bundled tea leaves with a closed jasmine flower bud at the center, which appears to bloom as the bundle unfolds in response to steeping in hot water.
