Low Caffeine Jasmine Oolong Tea

茉莉烏龍

Tasting Notes: Jasmine Blossom | Gardenia | Sugarcane Sweetness

Jasmine Oolong, a lightly oxidised Baozhong base scented by the traditional flower scenting method, marries fresh jasmine‑blossom with the tea’s own orchard‑floral character and gentle sugarcane finish. The result is a feather‑light brew that eclipses ordinary jasmine teas with its natural fragrance and silky, low‑astringency body.

Our Jasmine Oolong begins as spring‑plucked Baozhong—only 8‑12 % oxidised and unroasted to preserve a supple leaf. Night‑harvested jasmine flowers are layered with the finished tea in successive traditional flower scenting cycles; as the blooms open, they infuse the leaves with live aromatics, then are sifted out before the next fresh batch is added. This labor‑intensive process builds a multi‑dimensional bouquet: bright jasmine and gardenia top notes drift above Baozhong’s own orchid‑like fragrance, while the liquor carries a dew‑sweet freshness that resolves into lingering hints of sugarcane and soft melon. Almost zero bitterness makes it a graceful alternative to the perfumy or syrupy profiles found in mechanically flavoured jasmine teas.

Our Baozhong tea comes from Pinglin (坪林), a tranquil region in Taiwan celebrated for its pristine natural environment and rich tea-growing heritage. Located in the misty hills near Taipei, Pinglin offers a unique terroir that sets it apart from other oolong tea-producing regions.

Unlike many oolong teas grown at higher altitudes with intense sunlight, Pinglin’s Baozhong tea benefits from a low-to-mid-altitude geography (avg 1600ft) combined with a cool, humid climate. The region is frequently blanketed by mountain mist and gentle rain, which slows the tea leaves’ growth. This slower maturation allows the leaves to develop a more delicate structure and richer aromatic compounds. In contrast to high-mountain oolong teas, which often have a bold and creamy profile, Pinglin’s Baozhong tea is celebrated for its light, floral fragrance and refreshingly smooth taste.

To preserve its delicate profile while making it more versatile for everyday wellness, we apply a clean, chemical-free CO₂ decaffeination process. This method strips away 75% of the caffeine, reducing it to just 15–20 mg per cup—about half the caffeine of a typical can of soda—without using any harsh solvents. Our careful process is designed to balance caffeine removal with flavor preservation, ensuring the tea retains its depth, aroma, and naturally smooth finish.
