Peach Jasmine White Tea
What it is
This is a delicate white tea infused with the floral aroma of jasmine and the sweet, subtle flavor of ripe peaches. White tea is known for its minimal processing, which helps preserve its natural character and light taste. The jasmine adds a fragrant perfume, while the peach provides a gentle fruity sweetness that complements the tea's inherent notes. It is a refreshing beverage suitable for any time of day.

To brew, heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling, around 175°F (80°C). Place your tea leaves or tea bag in a mug or teapot. Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Avoid over-steeping, as this can lead to bitterness. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch and pour it over ice. You can add a slice of fresh peach or a few jasmine flowers for an extra touch.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to black tea, white tea is less oxidized, resulting in a lighter color and a more subtle flavor profile. The jasmine and peach notes are infused, offering a distinct floral and fruity aroma that is not typically found in plain white tea. This blend provides a balanced sweetness and fragrance.
Who it is for
Anyone seeking a light, aromatic, and subtly sweet tea experience will enjoy this blend.
How to keep the rest
Store the tea in an airtight container away from direct sunlight, heat, and strong odors. This will help preserve its delicate aroma and flavor. Keep it in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is well-sealed after each use to maintain freshness.
