  • The Story of this Tea

    The Wuyi Mountains of Fujian province are at the heart of China's oolong tea production. Grown in mineral-rich soils, the teas produced here are abundant in flavour and complexity. Thereare numerous cultivars of the tea plant used to create this style of oolong, with each one offering a unique nuance of flavour, expertly teased out by the masters who produce them. This season's Wuyi Oolong is Yellow Rose (Huang Meigui), which is rich and autumnal with fragrant notes of rose and peach, and a sublime texture.

Where does this cup come from?

Fujian, China

To make Flowering Jasmine & Lily, we reserve the best single origin green tea from the spring crop in cold-store until the summer. Fresh, spring green tea leaves are then hand-tied with beautifully fragrant natural local flowers by skilled artisans at Mr Lin’s small workshop in a village next to the tea gardens. Upon infusion, the bulbs will unfurl into an enchanting display of vibrantly-coloured lily petals and jasmine blossoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I store JING tea?

All tea should be kept away from heat, light, moisture and odours. Exposure to these will cause the tea to deteriorate and lose flavour.


We recommend storing our loose teas in our beautiful Refill Caddies or its resealable ziplock bag, and store them in a cool dry place. Generally speaking, black teas and more heavily oxidized oolongs can be stored for a longer time than green, white and lightly oxidized oolong teas. Green teas, white teas and light oolong teas are best drunk within two to three months of opening.


However, they can also be stored in the fridge to maintain freshness for as long as possible. If you choose to store your green, white and light oolongs in the fridge, be careful to take the packs out a little in advance of making your tea so that they can reach room temperature. Opening a bag straight from the fridge will result in condensation on the inside of the pack, which when closed can then affect the quality of the tea inside.

How do you source your teas?

We don’t just believe that single origin and single garden teas taste better. We go direct to source to get them. Cutting out the middlemen in this way encourages transparency by increasing traceability. It also helps us to build strong relationships with producers, so we can better support them and their communities. We back this up with stringent responsible procurement processes, applicable to all of our suppliers. You can find out more here.
