Nothing happens here...

Do I drink it or rub it on?

Felt a bit ropy this morning so Mrs DB suggested a nice refreshing cup of China Tea would settle me down. This glass of perfumed garden rubbish is what I was presented with. OMG

Now I drink loads of China Tea but this was not quite what I'm used to, seems it is a Jasmine White Fairy Tea. And I quote from the packet...

The petals gently unfold like white fairies to form a wreath atop a bed of orange lily and silver needle green tea. The silver needles give a taste of quality green tea and jasmine that is perfect for entertaining guests at any time of the day. Our flowering green tea is naturally very low in caffeine, high in antioxidants and can be steeped up to 3 times without tasting bitter.

Origin: Fujian Province, China


I'm sorry but I didn't drink it. I'm not a great fan of anything smelling like 'fairies', Jasmine or otherwise.

Jasmine tea




Jasmine tea (Chinese: ????; pinyin: mòlìhu? chá) is tea with added jasmine flowers. It originates from the time of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Normally, jasmine tea is based on green tea or white tea. The resulting flavor of jasmine tea is subtly sweet. It is the most famous scented tea in China.

Tea scented with jasmine flowers has been a specialty in China since the Song Dynasty ruled over 800 years ago. The Jasmine plant is believed to have been brought to the world from China sometime during the Period of Disunity (220-589).

The jasmine plant is grown at high elevation in the mountains. The jasmine tea produced in Fujian province, China enjoys the best reputation. Jasmine tea is also produced in Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Zhejiang provinces.
