All tea comes from the same plant (camellia sinensis) and like most plants, its leaves are green. Green tea preserves that green color and freshness. China and Japan produce the highest quality green teas, though many other countries are now producing it as well. Green tea usually produces a light body with mild astringency and a vegetal/grassy character.
Floral scented teas, like Jasmine, are crafted by layering tea leaves with fresh flowers overnight.
As the blossoms open, the tea absorbs their fragrance — leaving behind delicate floral aroma in every cup.
