Brook37 The Atelier Fujian Jasmine Tea Review

Press Sample (Affiliated Links)

I have been drinking loose leaf Jasmine Tea since I was a kid, and I remember my mom brewing pots of this magical and aromatic tea, and I have been utterly enchanted by it for as long as I can remember. The delicate scent and delightful taste always embodies the warmth of my home growing up. I recently started drinking Brook37 The Atelier Fujian Jasmine 7-Scented Jasmine & Biluochun Harmony, and this delicious tea transports me back to the tea my mom brewed when I was a child. This delicate and aromatic tea is smooth with a gorgeous jasmine flower taste that is perfectly balanced and sweet. It is an extraordinary treat to the senses. I deeply inhale its glorious scent before I sip it, and the entirety of the experience is otherworldly. This tea is every bit as delicious as the wonderful tea that I recall from childhood.

According to Brooke37 The Atelier,

Introducing Fujian Jasmine, a tea that embodies grace, craftsmanship, and nature’s finest aromatics. Grown at an elevation of 800 meters on the pristine slopes of Fujian Mountain, the Biluochun base tea is renowned for its curly leaves with silvery-white hairs and a vibrant, spring-fresh character.

After harvest, the delicate green leaves are carefully transported to a jasmine farm, where they are blended with freshly bloomed jasmine flowers not once, but seven times—a traditional scenting process that spans several days. This method infuses the tea with a deeply layered floral fragrance while preserving the natural sweetness and fresh green notes of the Biluochun.

Tasting Notes:
Delicate jasmine aroma
Fresh bean and vegetal tones
Sweet, lingering floral finish
