Teawaves
Description: Jasmine Tea originated from Joey’s hometown FuZhou, China 800 years ago. The emperor had wanted to retain the summer jasmine fragrance for the rest of the year. To please him, tea makers in the south of China invented a process to allow the tea to absorb the aroma and taste of the flowers. What differentiates the highest grade of jasmine pearls from the white bud jasmine is the jasmine pearls are a hand-rolled green leaf and rather than sifting the flower petals against the young roasted green leaf, the tea maker will place the rolled green leaf into the unbudded flower until it blooms, which usually takes three weeks.
Aromatic Elixir: Our Jasmine Pearls are a harmonious blend of young green tea leaves and fresh jasmine flowers. Through a traditional artisanal process, the tea leaves are rolled by hand into small pearls, allowing them to absorb the delicate fragrance of the jasmine blossoms. As you steep the pearls in hot water, they gradually unfurl, releasing a mesmerizing bouquet that delights the senses.

How should I store my tea?
Our packaging is suitable to storing tea for extended periods of time so long as you reseal the packaging as airtight as you can, keep it in a room temperature and reasonably dry place away from light. If you do plan to transfer the tea to a different container, keep it mind that not only should it be airtight, but also keep out light. Thus avoid any glass or plastic that is transparent.
How long does tea stay fresh?
The tea that teawaves offers will stay fresh for up to eighteen months with the exception of the white tea whose flavor will enhance with age.
Where does your tea come from?
All of our tea comes from five tea gardens primarily in Fujian, China where our co-founder Joey is from and has familial ties and we can trust the tea growers and tea makers.
How does caffeine content vary between types of tea?
All tea that comes from the tea plant does have caffeine
that affects people’s bodies in different ways. No matter the tea, though, one
of the most important things we can stress is that the caffeine in tea is
different from the caffeine in coffee! With that being said, as a general
rule—caffeine is more potent in more oxidized teas (black tea), less potent in non-oxidized or hardly oxidized teas (green tea, white tea) and falls in the
middle with partially oxidized tea (oolong tea).
