Jasmine tea, loose-leaf and in tea bags

Jasmine tea is tea scented with jasmine blossoms, a tradition that comes from China. Most jasmine tea has a green tea base, so it contains caffeine; some use white or black tea instead. The blossom gives a soft, floral cup with a gentle sweetness. Drink it on its own, hot or cooled down. With a green base, let the water come off the boil and steep for two to three minutes so it does not turn bitter.
