ABOUT THIS TEA
Jasmine Red Tea pairs the mellow body of Chinese red tea with the fragrance of fresh jasmine blossoms. Unlike the more familiar jasmine green tea, the red tea base brings a warmer, rounder character beneath the floral aroma.
To build the fragrance gradually, the finished tea is scented in nine successive rounds with fresh jasmine blossoms. In each round, the tea absorbs the flowers’ natural aroma before the blossoms are separated, allowing the fragrance to become part of the tea itself rather than simply sitting on top of it.
In the cup, jasmine appears clearly but softly, followed by a mellow texture, gentle sweetness, and a clean floral finish. It is expressive when brewed warm and especially easy to enjoy cold, where the floral character becomes lighter and more refreshing.
Good To Know
A few things worth knowing before you brew
In Chinese tea culture, hong cha is called red tea for the warm amber-red color of the brewed cup. In English-language tea categories, it is generally known as black tea. LANSTEA uses “red tea” to honor the Chinese name while keeping the experience familiar: a warm, mellow, fully oxidized tea.
The scenting process of our Jasmine Red Tea is an exquisite interplay of time,craftsmanship, and nature’s bounty, with every step dedicated to pursuing the ultimate flavor.
We select premium red tea leaves and fresh jasmine flowers as raw materials, laying a solid foundation for quality from the very start. Jasmine buds are picked when they are on the verge of blooming, at which point they hold the most concentrated fragrance. As night falls, when the flowers naturally open and their aroma reaches its peak, the crucial moment of scenting arrives—tea leaves and flowers are layered alternately in a 1:1 golden ratio, allowing the dry tea leaves to fully absorb the floral essence.
This is no one-time process: after each round of scenting, the old flowers must be carefully removed and replaced with newly bloomed ones, and this cycle repeats. More rounds of scenting result in a richer, more lingering aroma, but they also demand exponentially more flowers, time, and labor, driving up the cost. Throughout, tea masters must precisely control the blooming degree of the flowers, the duration of mixing, the ambient temperature and humidity, and even the thickness of the tea and flower layers. A slight deviation in any detail could compromise the final aroma and taste.
Once all scenting procedures are completed, a "flower separation" step follows, thoroughly separating the tea leaves from the flowers—what ultimately reaches you is a pure tea product where only the fragrance of flowers lingers, with no trace of the blooms themselves.
It is thanks to such intricate and refined craftsmanship that when you open the package, the rich aroma of red tea and the delicate scent of jasmine intertwine and greet you. When brewed, the fragrance slowly diffuses from the cup, as if capturing the moment when night-blooming jasmine meets sun-dried red tea. Upon sipping, the mellow tea soup carries the dual aromas, unfolding gently on your palate—every note tells the story of this balance between nature and craftsmanship.
We recommend 2–3 grams per cup (about 1 teaspoon).
For a stronger flavor, you may increase slightly to 4 -5 grams.
Red teas should be steeped for 2-3 minutes at a temperature of 185°F or 85°C.
