The tea farm is located high in the mountains of Yunnan at over 3000m above sea level, making it one of the most elevated farms from which we source tea. The farm has been growing tea organically since 2015 and is certified organic in China and the EU.
Floral and fruity with a hint of tart acerola cherry, the caramel, slightly citrusy notes of Dianhong black tea harmonise perfectly with the playful scent of jasmine. A trace of smoke adds a sophisticated punchline in the finish. Compared to typical jasmine teas with a green or white tea base, the jasmine aroma in this black tea variation is more integrated and less pronounced, making it a very balanced, accessible tea with aromatic finesse.

One of the most popular flavoured teas, jasmine tea is a highly floral, slightly sweet Chinese tea scented with the aroma of jasmine flowers. Green tea is commonly used as the base but white, black and oolong teas may also be used. High quality jasmine teas are gently perfumed with real jasmine blossoms, added to the tea leaves during the final drying stages. Each flower is then carefully removed by hand and replaced with fresh ones, a time-consuming process that is repeated several times.
We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements.
Our comprehensive portfolio focuses on organic, single-origin teas sourced directly from renowned farms. We believe in creating partnerships with farmers who share our values and are committed to sustainable, responsible tea cultivation. Thanks to these strong relationships our exciting range is constantly growing and evolving. As an international team of dedicated and passionate tea experts, we are committed to preserving centuries-old tea culture while ensuring it remains relevant and continues to bring joy in the present. About Yoshi En.
The farm is located in the tropical highlands of Yunnan at an altitude of over 3000m, exposing the tea plants to an optimal, stimulating climate that decelerates growth and allows the tea to develop a particularly rich aroma. Good soil drainage also contributes to robust and healthy plants. Typical of the Yunnan terroir is a very robust, vibrant aroma that harmoniously merges delicateness with a primal wildness.
Steep 2 tsp in 200–300ml water at 85–90°C for 1–2 minutes. Suitable for several infusions.
Brew in a Gaiwan or porcelain teapot to amplify the jasmine aroma, or in a glass teapot to gaze at the tea as it steeps.
Packed in a high-quality, airtight, resealable standing zipper pouch with nine protective layers to preserve flavour and prevent oxidation. After opening, press out as much air as possible when snapping shut. Alternatively place tea leaves in a stylish tea caddy.
We find it very important that our teas are pure and produced in a way that respects the environment. For this reason, each one of our teas is tested for pesticide residues by an independent laboratory, the results of which can be found here. Some of our teas are also tested for specific nutritional compounds, in which case the test results are also published here.
