This variety was found growing wild in the Assam province of northeast India in the 1823, when the British East India Company was studying a proposal to grow tea in India. The idea was turned down for fears that India's production might endanger their China tea monopoly. Ten years later conditions had changed. The company's opium trafficking had angered the Chinese government and the British Crown overrode the objections of the East India Company and backed a project to grow tea in India. By 1837 it was successfully cultivated in Assam and in May 1838 a few chests were shipped to London (a true organic tea - grown before the advent of artificial fertilizers and herbicides). The first consignment of 8 chests of Assam tea was auctioned off in 1839 heralding the advent of Indian Tea in the world markets. Tea continues to play an important political role in India's development. Not only do millions of people gather their main source of family income from the tea business, but in 1946 Mahatma Ghandi in his non-violent struggle for Independence is known to have taken tea to King George-V at Buckingham Palace for their historic discussion on Indian Independence.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"row sub\"\u003eMetropolitan Tea Company\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq--answer\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Metropolitan Tea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49522786631995,"sku":"485174","price":10.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/5527\/files\/ABOR-ESAS-517_llt01.jpg?v=1727304315"},{"product_id":"tea-black-black-forest","title":"Tea Black, Black Forest","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100g \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"prodcupdesc\"\u003eLightly astringent.

No one is sure when the recipe was first developed but it probably happened sometime in the late 16th century when chocolate was first introduced to the region. Black Forest cake derives its characteristic chocolate-cherry flavor from the addition of Kirsch or Kirshwasser, a double distilled clear cherry brandy. The inhabitants of the Black Forest, (no they are not elves), make this Kirsch from the hard skinned, sour Morello cherry. Apart from all the cherries and chocolate, fans of Black Forest cake know that it also makes an excellent vehicle for whipped cream! Fans of this tea blend should know that it is fantastic with a dash of sugar and a spot of milk - it's like dessert in a cup!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat type of tea do we use, how do we flavor the tea and why do we use natural flavors?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirstly... we only use high grown teas from the top 3 tea growing regions of Sri Lanka - Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Uva. These three high-grown districts produce flavorful teas that have classic 'Ceylon' tea character which is noted by floral bouquet and flavor notes, touches of mild astringency, bright coppery color and, most importantly - perfect for use as the base tea of our flavored teas. (We have tested teas from various other origins around the world as base stock for our flavored teas, but none of these teas made the grade.) Dimbula and the western estates of Nuwara Eliya have a major quality peak during Jan\/Feb, whereas Uva and the eastern estates of Nuwara Eliya have their peak in July\/Aug. This 'dual peak period' allow us to buy the best for our flavored tea blends several times during the year, ensuring top quality and freshness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecondly... we use flavoring oils not crystals to give the tea drinker an olfactory holiday before indulging in a liquid tea treat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThirdly. we specify natural flavors. High quality tea tastes good and natural flavors do not mask the natural taste of the high grown Ceylon tea. (The norm for many making flavored tea is to use overpowering artificial flavors, which can be used to hide lower quality tea). Natural flavors do not leave an aftertaste giving the tea a clean and true character. It should be noted that natural flavors tend to be somewhat 'soft ' and the flavors slightly muted, but for many this is a refreshing change and one of the desired attributes of our naturally flavored teas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"row sub\"\u003eMetropolitan Tea Company\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq--answer\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Metropolitan Tea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49522800525627,"sku":"440272","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/5527\/files\/ABFV-SL__-027_llt01.jpg?v=1727304619"},{"product_id":"tea-black-blueberry","title":"Tea Black, Blueberry","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100g \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"prodcupdesc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"prodcupdesc\"\u003eIntoxicating blueberry aroma and sprightly full flavor of the tiny wild blueberry.

With the mercury peaking at a sweltering 41 degrees, a tea factory assistant asked if he might like a drink of water. Naturally, he replied in the affirmative. Moments later he was handed a glass of water, which he raised to his lips and discovered was piping hot - not the cold water he was expecting. The assistant, taking note of his puzzled expression, explained that hot water actually cools the body faster than cold. How? By raising the body's internal core temperature to create a sort of equilibrium with external heat.

Or, should we say, nectar of the gods? What else could you possibly call a drink that goes for upwards of $250,000 per 350 ml (11.8 oz)? That's the price you'd have to pay for an ultra rare bottle of Royal DeMaria, 2000 Chardonnay icewine. Most icewines are priced well below that figure, but they still garner higher prices than traditional wines. Why? The grapes used to make the sweet dessert wine aren't pressed until they are frozen. As such, 1\/5th the amount of grape juice is pressed from each frozen grape compared to the non-frozen variety. For vintners, a general rule of thumb is that each frozen grape will yield just one drop of icewine. The flavor of the finished product is divine. Depending on the varietal, the nose can offer notes of peach, pear, honey, dried apricot and green apple. In the glass, the flavor is a sumptuous combination of apricot, peach, mango, melon and other sweet fruits. This fabulous black tea blend uses real icewine to deliver all that fruity sweetness in a rich, round cuppa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWho invented icewine?

These three high-grown districts produce flavorful teas that have classic 'Ceylon' tea character which is noted by floral bouquet and flavor notes, touches of mild astringency, bright coppery color and, most importantly - perfect for use as the base tea of our flavored teas. (We have tested teas from various other origins around the world as base stock for our flavored teas, but none of these teas made the grade.) Dimbula and the western estates of Nuwara Eliya have a major quality peak during Jan\/Feb, whereas Uva and the eastern estates of Nuwara Eliya have their peak in July\/Aug. This 'dual peak period' allow us to buy the best for our flavored tea blends several times during the year, ensuring top quality and freshness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecondly... we use flavoring oils not crystals to give the tea drinker an olfactory holiday before indulging in a liquid tea treat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThirdly. we specify natural flavors. High quality tea tastes good and natural flavors do not mask the natural taste of the high grown Ceylon tea. (The norm for many making flavored tea is to use overpowering artificial flavors, which can be used to hide lower quality tea). Natural flavors do not leave an aftertaste giving the tea a clean and true character. It should be noted that natural flavors tend to be somewhat 'soft ' and the flavors slightly muted, but for many this is a refreshing change and one of the desired attributes of our naturally flavored teas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"row sub\"\u003eMetropolitan Tea Company\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq--answer\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Metropolitan Tea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49527139565883,"sku":"440265","price":10.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/5527\/files\/ABFV-SL__-026_llt01.jpg?v=1727384806"},{"product_id":"tea-black-kama-sutra-chai","title":"Tea Black, Kama Sutra Chai","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100g \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"prodcupdesc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"prodcupdesc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"prodcupdesc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"prodcupdesc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"prodcupdesc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"prodcupdesc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"prodcupdesc\"\u003ePenetrating depth with a full flavored cup exuding sensuous floral and saucy spice notes.

Vatsyayana is believed to have lived in India sometime between the 1st and 6th centuries AD during what is known as the Gupta period, a time of great cultural and artistic growth. The Kama Sutra is literally a book on the science of love - Kama translates as desire, and Sutra means a technical manual. The ancient treatise depicts positions for uhm, \"marital enjoyment\" with names like \"the Cobra\", and \"Tigress\" - it is a very spicy text. So it may surprise you to learn that tradition also maintains that Mharishi Vatsyayana was a celibate monk. How he got it in his head to describe some of the sultriest, sexiest, physically challenging, stimulating, and creative ways for couples to \"enjoy\" themselves is a mystery that has long been lost to the mists of time.

They were originally grown in East India, Burma, and the Andaman Islands, around the 5th century B.C., but are now cultivated in just about every warm corner of the globe. Besides being pulpy sweet and delicious, mangoes have long been associated in the Eastern world with peace, tranquility, and harmony. Legend has it that the Buddha himself would often seek repose in a grove of mango trees. In certain parts of India it was believed that mango trees were sacred, and a symbol of love - some even believed that mango trees could grant wishes. Even to this day Hindus hang fresh leaves from mango trees outside their doors during Ponggol, the Hindu New Year, as a blessing for peace in the New Year. We believe that this mango tea can bestow the same blessing on those who brew it.

And evidently we aren't the first to hold that opinion. In China, archaeologists working during the time of Chairman Mao discovered evidence of people enjoying apricots and peaches together at least 4000 years ago. From those ancient times, both fruits eventually made their way westward in the form of cuttings and seedlings, traveling via Persia to the Mediterranean regions of Italy and Spain. In Italy, both fruits flourished and rose in such popularity that they became noted favorites of various rulers of the Roman Empire. So what makes the fruits go so well together? The key is in their delicate, intensely sweet flavor profiles. The characters of both fruits together blend into a harmonious explosion of citrus-y goodness. And what makes them blend so well with a high grown Ceylon tea? The answer to that question is the natural acidity, and astringent qualities of both. Try a cup for yourself and discover what makes this one of our most special flavored teas.

China, you see, is the only country in which plum, and pear trees both grow in the wild. Everywhere else, one or the other has had to have been imported and cultivated. The ancient Chinese made great use of their natural bounty and were great culinary experimenters, a characteristic that saw the invention of many, many, tea variations. These early gastronomes, instead of using natural fruit extracts, as we have with this wonderful tea, may have simply mashed up the flesh of both fruits and added it to a fresh pot of tea before it was strained. They believed that both of these particular fruits when added to fresh tea had the ability to soothe and calm the nerves.

The creeping plant can be found in fields, lawns, stream-sides, riverbanks, even roadside ditches. They grow in clusters up to about 6 inches tall and bloom from April to June depending on how far north you are. Once their berries set, the plants lie dormant during the hot summer months. As for flavor, although they're smaller than their commercially available counterparts, wild strawberries are generally considered to be more full bodied. North American Natives had many traditional and therapeutic uses for the small red fruit.

Your mood can be negatively affected by a broad variety of factors, including poor sleep, an unhealthy diet, external stressors, lack of sunlight exposure, and loss of intimate connections. One or more of these could be causing a loss of joy in life and lowering your mood.

We begin with a layer of apples for their antioxidant and immune boosting properties because a healthy body is important for a healthy mind. Next, we added Ashwagandha, Tulsi, and St. John's Wort, which are part of a class of plants called adaptogens. These potent adaptogens are meant to help your body respond to stress. Research on ashwagandha continues to evolve as scientists study its efficacy in treating anxiety. Experimental studies are researching how Tulsi can improve general stress levels and aid with symptoms of forgetfulness. To top things off, both Lemon Balm and St. John's Wort have been nicknamed 'sunshine herbs' for their purported mood boosting qualities, with most research focusing on their impact on individuals with seasonal affective disorder. The inclusion of Butterfly Blue Pea Flower not only turns the cup a beautiful teal color but adds a dose of antioxidants to aid with relaxation.

One need only drive a little way outside of Prague to find wild bushes lining many of the roadsides that wind their way through the countryside. These sweet little berries were purportedly the favorite of Boleslav I, the first King of Bohemia. Unfortunately, old King Boleslav, also known as Boleslav the Cruel, murdered his own brother St. Wenceslas. The murder allowed Boleslav to take the throne and was committed at a family feast - some family! Given the kings fondness for raspberries, there is no doubt that along with murder, the fruit was also served. It is too bad Bohemian Raspberry green tea wasn't also available - it may have relaxed the man a little. This blend, with its mellow grassy undertones and sweet raspberry notes, is one of our most soothing greens yet.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBohemian Raspberry is based on a Sencha style green tea manufactured in Hunan Province, South Eastern China. Sencha, a Japanese style green tea, is produced by skipping the fermentation process required to produce black tea. Interestingly, both green and black teas can be produced from the same bushes. In green manufacture, the freshly plucked leaves are steamed or heated (to kill the enzymes that cause fermentation) immediately and then bruised either by machine or hand. Next the leaf is pan-fried or basket fired - a process that gives the tea its distinctive glossy looks and feels. Senchas typically have dark green, needle shaped leaves and produce a pale green to yellow, very bright and smooth cup with a sweetish, honey like finish. Infuse a pot today, inhale the sweet aromas and raise a toast to Boleslav the Cruel.

The deluxe qualities of the orange were perhaps better captured nowhere else than in the world famous perfume developed by the Parisian fashion house of Hermes. Scent designers there used oranges to create one of France's most famous perfumes, Hermes Orange Verte. The perfume has been considered a symbol of the decadent lifestyles of old Europe.

The Plateau, often called the Rooftop of the World is about 4 or 5 times the size of France or Texas and stretches out between the magnificent peaks of the Himalayas at an average elevation of over 4500 meters. The plateau is home to brackish lakes, tundra, grasslands, dessert and is the third least inhabited corner of the world after Antarctica and Greenland. Still, from this arid vastness, nomadic tribesmen and their families have carved out a living, driving yaks from place to place under the immense sky.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor generations, one of the ways the nomads have supplemented their income is by harvesting the wild Lavender that grows in and around the lakes and grasslands of the plateau. When the flowers bloom, it is like a flowing sea of fragrant purple. The nomad families pluck the flowers, dry them in the sun and bring them down from the mountains, usually into Lhasa. While the adults work, the children amuse themselves by trying to catch the many butterflies that are attracted to the fragrant flowers. While it may seem hard to believe, a species of butterflies known as Parnassius are actually native to the Himalayas and have adapted to the high altitudes. From one range to the next, various genetic mutations occur meaning that the butterflies in one area exist nowhere else. The sight of the pluckers' children chasing after the multi-hued insects is one that makes it feel as though the entire scene is being played out in heaven.

Lemon Battery is the term given to a lemon that has become the subject of a school age science experiment in which electrodes are attached to the fruit and then plugged into a light bulb or small engine.

Here's our rationale. Pekoe Gunpowder is one of the stronger flavored green teas on the market and takes your taste buds on a journey of smoky depths with each sip. Its strength and flavor comes from the way it is rolled during production. The labor-intensive process includes hand rolling each individual leaf in order to force flavorful liquids from the centre of the leaf to the surface Firing seals the leaf in this rolled state and keeps the flavor and power contained. (Small. Round. Contained power. Hmm, starting to sound a lot like a battery!)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdd to this the lively character of fresh lemons.

Literary? Yes, literary. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Hyson was one of the most popular teas on the market, prized for its warm character, bright cup and overall sunny disposition. As well as gracing the tables and tea sets of those who had an appreciation for the finer things the East had to offer, Hyson inspired the work of many poets and writers of the period. Nowhere was this truer than in Boston. Unfortunately for merchants of the great city, tea's place in the great literary tradition of the time wasn't always a good thing. Following the Boston Tea Party of 1773 for example a Boston poet penned the following:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThrow aside your Green Hyson Tea,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd all things with a new fashioned duty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRevolutionary poems, like the one this excerpt is taken from, helped remind people to wean themselves off the tantalizing beverage. These poems appeared on handbills and posters that were distributed throughout the city to great effect. Still, although Hyson consumption did decrease as a result of the anti-tea campaign it remained a popular beverage in some circles, particularly literary ones. As the war ended and society moved into the 19th century, Hyson again began to inspire Boston's poets, this time in a more positive way. In 1847, Ralph Waldo Emerson noted the tea's rare scent in his famous poem Xenophanes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy fate, not option, frugal Nature gave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne scent to Hyson and to wall-flower.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is no surprise that Emerson chose to write about Hyson's fabulous aroma. Typically bright on the nose its scent hints at spring, the season in which it is produced. In the cup the tea is equally bright, round and full bodied with a touch of grassiness. We're pleased to offer this Lucky Dragon as a tribute to Hyson's literary past. With its fine full leaf, intricate cup and heavenly aroma, it has the power to inspire the poet in all of us.

What many people outside of the area don't realize is that the countryside in the Niagara region is home to some of the most lush and rich farmland in North America. In recent years the region has earned a worldwide reputation for its numerous vineyards, but the area has traditionally been known for its abundance of orchards.Take a drive along any of Niagara's country highways and you will pass row after row of apple, pear, and peach orchards (the finest orchards of the three in our biased opinion!). The first of these orchards were probably planted in the area sometime in the mid 1800's by European settlers. The rich soil combined with a mild and relatively long summer make the Niagara Peach a sweet citrus treat. The peaches are generally larger than their Georgia cousins and are harvested from mid to late summer. When ripe, they have a delicate profile that hints of sweet nectar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe tea we've used as a base for this blend is a green Sencha. Interestingly, green and black teas can be produced from the same plants. Green tea is produced by forgoing the fermentation process required to produce black tea. Instead the leaves are steamed as soon as they are plucked, and then bruised either by machine or by hand. The leaves are then pan-fried or basket fired - a process that gives the tea its distinctive glossy look and feel. Although Sencha is generally produced in Japan, we've used a Chinese variety from Hunan province. Our master taster felt that this Chinese variety had a subtleness of character perfectly suited to blending with peach. Like all Sencha teas, this particular variety has a dark green, needle shaped leaf and produces a pale green to yellow, very bright, smooth cup with a sweetish, honey like finish. You'll also notice that we've added delicate white Jasmine petals to this blend - an addition that enhances the citrus character of peach.

Ocean legend has it that among other things, hibiscus flowers made the trip. For centuries the islanders lived in peace and harmony, erecting the giant statues for which the island is famous. As they did, the beautiful, highly fragrant flowers, flourished along with the island's population. While native species of fruit were plentiful, it would not be centuries later that pomegranates would make their appearance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe ruby red fruit is thought to have made its arrival to the island with slaves deported from Peru in 1870. By that time Pomegranates were well known in South America having been brought over by Jesuit missionaries who cultivated them in great numbers. The native islanders were quickly smitten with the fruit and began blending its juice with the island's own agricultural bounty. As the harbor served as a sort of marketplace, it is believed that at some point, an enterprising marketer blended hibiscus and pomegranate together to great effect.

The name Calendula stems from the Latin kalendae, a word that means \"the first day of the month\". The hardy flower is more commonly known in the West as the Marigold, a name that refers to the Virgin Mary. So, perhaps we should add the Virgin Mary's feast day to the list of great days to enjoy Calendula. The flower has been used to make herbal remedies and teas since at least sixteenth century. This we know because of their appearance in Macer's Herbal, a famous treatise on herbs written at the time. Macer's Herbal states that Calendula \"must be taken when the moon is in the Sign of the Virgin.\" Hmm, it seems we may also need to add the entire month of Virgo to the list of great dates to enjoy Calendula. The book also states that simply looking at Calendula will draw evil humors out of the body and strengthen the eyesight. This sounds like an everyday benefit. So, it looks like it may be easiest to simply state that every day is a great day to enjoy Calendula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow, the question you're probably asking at this point is: how best to enjoy this wonderful flower? We have a few suggestions. For one, the delicate color and mild flavor of the dried petals make them an easy additive to custom tea blends. As such they will give your teas an added visual appeal and light floral notes. The dried petals can also be used to brew a mild herbal infusion on their own. Calendula produces a tisane with delightful flavor that is high in flavonoids and makes an excellent end of the day beverage - perfect for sipping under a blanket in front of a fireplace. There are a multitude of other uses as well including, if you can believe it, scrambled eggs with calendula petals - simply stir the petals into the eggs moments before serving. Oh Calendula!

For at least as far back as 5000 years, farmers have sewn seeds and pruned crops in the Delta, coaxing lush fields of every imaginable variety to bloom and blossom. To say the region has history is an understatement. The Nile Delta features prominently in the Old Testament of the Bible where it is called the Land of Goshen.

Annual flooding. Every year the Nile would burst its banks and flood the plains alongside the river. River-silt loaded with nutrients and minerals would be carried and deposited along the banks. This silt served as a natural fertilizer for the year's crops and made the flood a highly anticipated event. Although the 1902 completion of the Aswan dam put an end to the annual flood, to this day the Nile Delta is still home to wonderfully rich soil that infuses its agricultural produce with intense flavor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Egyptian Camomile is a perfect example of the Delta's agricultural bounty.

On the tongue, the infusion impresses with exceptionally lively honey notes. If you're looking for a way to describe the sensation to your customers, tell them a freshly brewed cup is as relaxing as watching the sun set over the Nile and as flavorful as a pot of fresh honey.

From very early times, the people living in these areas have always considered the flower to be sacred and associated it with love and devotion. In fact, in India, jasmine flowers are considered the sacred flower of the god of love, Kama. (You may have heard of the Kama-Sutra? There's a reason the ancients considered the flower an aphrodisiac!)

There is an Indian myth that attempts to explain the phenomenon. Many years ago an Indian Princess fell in love with Surya-Deva, the god of the sun. Every day, she would go out to the royal garden and tend to all the flowers and plants so Surya-Deva would have somewhere beautiful to send his rays. One day, he descended from heaven to visit the girl. She was ecstatic. But rather than offer her his heart, the god rejected the girl's love and ascended back into the sky. The princess was heartbroken. Her family, try as they might, couldn't console the poor girl - even her garden gave her no more pleasure. Finally she took her own life. Her family was distraught. As is Indian custom, the girl's body was cremated shortly afterward. Her parents, wishing their daughter's spirit be nearby scattered the ashes throughout the garden. Over the next few weeks, they witnessed a miracle. From the ashes, a beautiful new flowering plant began to grow. But because the sun god was responsible for the girl's death, the tree would only blossom at night. As a consolation for their daughter's demise, the king and queen woke up each morning to the hauntingly sweet smell of the delicate blooms. Over the ensuing centuries, the pretty white flowers spread throughout the Eastern world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe story is a tragic one, but waking up to the scent of freshly bloomed jasmine wafting in through a window is like waking up to fresh cinnamon buns - in a more exotic sort of way.

It is when these flowers become available that they are used to scent green tea - resulting in Jasmine Tea.\u003cbr\u003eThe flowers are used up to 9 times (depending upon their flavor and the time of year they are plucked). The process is: a layer of fresh jasmine flowers, tea, flowers, tea etc. Between each layer there is a fine mesh which keeps the flowers separated from the tea. Since Jasmine flowers are very expensive they are used repeatedly but by the 9th time the flavor in the flowers is virtually exhausted. At this point they are useable in this particular form - blend components for visual presentation of tea.\u003cbr\u003eTea uses - As previously mentioned, since these Jasmine flowers are flavor neutral they can be used to decorate any tea blend.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"row sub\"\u003eMetropolitan Tea Company\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq--answer\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Metropolitan Tea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49560714641723,"sku":"362154","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/5527\/files\/ABHB-FLCH-215_llt01.jpg?v=1728406191"}],"url":"https:\/\/newmarketnaturalfoods.ca\/collections\/repacked-tea-teapots.oembed?page=11","provider":"NewMarket Natural Foods + Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
