Jasmine Tea

Jasmine Tea is a famous tea in China and Taiwan. It is made from either Green Tea or Oolong Tea leaves that are scented with jasmine flowers. Jasmine flowers are stored in a cool place during the night. They then bloom and are covered over the tea leaves to produce a fragrance that infuses with the tea. After doing some research I found that jasmine tea goes back the third century during the Song Dynasty (960-1270 AD). It is not only good to drink but Taiwanese believe it to have medicinal purposes also that can cure various diseases and health problems. If it could only grow back hair Alex Brumley would be in business.
