Silk Dragon Jasmine is prepared by infusing green tea leaves with night-blooming jasmine flowers for several consecutive nights. Silk Dragon Jasmine is one of the best known Chinese green teas, originating from the Song Dynasty around 1000CE. Cultivated at altitudes over 1500ft, this popular tea has a clean and delicate taste with the subtle aroma of jasmine blossoms, reminiscent of summery evenings and gentle breezes.

    The same leaf as black tea, with the oxidation stopped almost as soon as it starts — by pan-firing in a dry wok in China, by steaming in Japan. That one difference is why green tea is green, grassy and delicate where black is dark...

I use dillweed often. This dill is fresh and has a nice aroma. I use it in marinades, salad dressings, and on fish. Good stuff.
