Jasmine Scented Green Tea Loose Leaf
Loose leaf green tea scented with jasmine blossoms during processing, giving a natural floral aroma without fermentation. The jasmine scenting is a traditional flavoring method that does not change the unfermented nature of the tea, so it remains under this tariff item.
