茉莉紫芽

Cold brewing this one turned out a deep, almost violet-tinted cup that’s surprisingly smooth with none of the bitterness I usually get from jasmine teas. The Zi Juan leaves really hold their own against the floral notes, and the richness makes it feel like a treat even on a hot afternoon.

Steeped a batch overnight and the purple leaves unfurl into this gorgeous lavender-tinged liquor that's somehow both floral and deeply rich. The Zi Juan cultivar really shines cold — smooth, almost sweet, with none of the bitterness I usually get from jasmine teas.

Cold brewing this was a total game changer for a hot afternoon—the Zi Juan leaves give it a depth that regular jasmine tea just doesn’t have, and the purple buds look stunning steeping in the pitcher. I’ve made three batches in a week, and the flavor stays rich even after a long chill.
