Adonai is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for His Name’s sake.Psalm 23:1-3
The Jasmine Glory Wellness Tea will start shipping the week of May 13th!
In China, the art of scenting teas with fresh flower petals goes back many hundreds of years.
For Jasmine, fresh tea leaves are picked by hand in the Springtime and then dried using heat to prevent oxidisation. This ensures the leaves keep their light green colour and prevents the tea from darkening into black tea. The green tea is set aside to await the jasmine harvest.
When the jasmine flowers just barely begin to blossom and release their fragrance, alternating layers of the Spring green tea leaves and the jasmine flowers are spread out and placed one atop of the other to a combined height between 10 and 15 inches for 4-6 hours depending on the target temperature and moisture conditions. During this time, the blossoms bloom and release their scent, and the tea leaves absorb the fragrance.
When the jasmine blossoms start to yellow, the blossoms and tea are separated and this process is reapeated up to seven times. When the process is complete, the now pure jasmine scented green tea leaves are hand rolled into pearls.
I wanted the Emerald Jasmine tea to be something just a little different...set apart from the rest on the market. So in addition to the beautiful organic Jasmine pearls I also added Organic Jasmine Green, Jasmine Flower Buds, Kukicha Green (see below), and Olive Leaf to the proprietary blend for the most glorious Jasmine cuppa ever.
Kukicha Green is made of the twigs and stems of the Camelia Senensis plant and contains the highest levels of L-Theanine, the amino acid in green tea that has proven to be calming and to encourage the brain to emit alpha waves of relaxation.
It has a revitalizing fresh aroma, a stronger umami and a less astringent taste than green tea made from the leaves. Since the parts of the tea leaves used for Kukicha are different from other green tea, people find the taste to be quite fresh and unique making it a perfectly beautiful backdrop for the Emerald Jasmine Glory!
Each beautiful, reusable canister contains 30+ servings of tea.

Jasmine Glory Wellness Tea
Organic Kukicha: Kukicha tea, made from the twigs and stems of the tea plant, has all the benefits of green tea leaves and then some. It is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and as mentioned above, contains the highest levels of L-Theanine, which calms anxiety, inspires relaxation, and increases mental clarity.
With its very high calcium content this tea also makes a powerful, alkaline food, natural astringent and digestive aide after meals.
Organic Jasmine Green Tea Pearls: The most abundant catechin (a type of polyphenol) in green tea is Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), which protects body cells against oxidation, heart disease, lowers cholesterol, helps fight depression and prevents aging.
Organic Jasmine Buds/Flowers: Jasmine is rich in antioxidants that interact with gastrointestinal enzymes to facilitate better nutrient absorption and promote healthy bowel function.
It also functions to promote the growth of good bacteria in the gut and has been found to eliminate harmful bacteria, such as E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and more!
The antispasmodic qualities of Jasmine make it helpful to relieve indigestion, stomach cramps and inflammation.The uplifting scent of Jasmine has been proven to improve mood, lower stress, calm anxiety, and fight insomnia.
A study published in the “Journal of Health Research” looked at the effect of Jasmine aroma inhalation on the central nervous system and the mood and found that the aroma (the study used jasmine essential oil) did indeed affect the mood and brain activity, with participants reporting that they felt more positive, energetic and even romantic!
Organic Olive Leaf: Olive leaves contain a substance called oleuropein, which can help reduce cholesterol levels and inflammation. Olive leaf extracts (OLE) also reduce glucose levels in the blood. Laboratory studies found that OLE can also kill a number of microorganisms including yeasts, bacteria, and fungi!

For a single serving: Add 2t to 8oz of 190 degree spring, or filtered water, steep for 2-3 minutes. For a stronger brew, add more tea, a longer steep causes the water to absorb the tannins which in turn reduces the health benefits and makes the tea bitter!
