Spring green tea from Fuding, scented with summer jasmine blossoms that the tea makers pile and toss through the leaves up to six times. Jasmine first, and good hot or iced.
Hand-blended in Toronto: Genuine Tea, a Toronto company, hand-blends and packs its tea in the city.
Whole leaf, either way: the pyramid bags hold the same whole-leaf tea as the loose, and Genuine adds no artificial flavourings or additives.
Farmer-direct, harvest-dated: Genuine buys direct from the farmers and dates its tea by harvest.
Compostable pyramid bags: the bags are plant-based, contain no plastic, and break down in commercial compost in under 90 days.

Flavor Profile
The leaves are imperial-grade mao jian from a spring harvest in Fuding, on the border of Zhejiang and Fujian. The tea makers hold them in cold storage until the summer jasmine opens, then pile and toss leaves and blossoms together, up to six times, until the tea takes on the scent. Genuine notes that jasmine tea traditionally welcomes guests, and it drinks well hot or iced.
