What are the “roots” of Rooteas?
Family Tea-making Skills
Our elders have spent their lives making
tea in the Wuyi Mountains. Now, we want to share their craft with more people, so this tradition doesn't fade away with time.
Family Tea Farms
Every leaf comes from our own and our
friends' family tea farms, places blessed with the perfect mountains, streams, and soil for growing tea. This pure, natural home gives you the truest taste of nature.
Transparency for Every Leaf
We share our teas with absolute transparency. We want to share the teas we craft, as well as the teas we drink daily. We provide full details on how we make and source them. Hope we can become your trusted tea partner.
Fuzhou city in Fujian serves as the birthplace of jasmine tea which has a production history that spans nearly a millennium (Click here to learn about the story of the oolong tea making family). During the making of Fuzhou jasmine tea producers scent processed tea leaves using fresh buds from jasmine plants that are about to blossom. We want to share two classic Fuzhou jasmine teas in the Jasmine Tea Sampler Box, both made with a green tea base: Jasmine Snowflakes & Jasmine Dragon Pearls

Jasmine Snowflakes - 茉莉飞雪 (5g*5 packets)
Times of scenting process: 5 times
The moment you open the packaging your senses will be captivated by the strong scent of jasmine flowers mingled with tea leaves. Craftsmen produce this tea by rolling one bud and one leaf together and infusing them with the aroma of freshly picked jasmine blossoms. The jasmine fragrance rises from the tea soup during steeping while the leaves move elegantly through the cup. The jasmine petals gradually float to the surface, becoming translucent like melting snow.
Jasmine Dragon Pearl - 茉莉龙珠 (5g*5 packets)
Times of scenting process: 5 times
The rolled leaves of this tea resemble small pearls which inspired its name "Dragon Pearl." The complex rolling method allows the tea leaves to maintain their complete taste and scent during brewing. The budding jasmine flowers used for scenting the tea leaves are removed to allow the process to be repeated multiple times. Eventually, the scenting process helps to enhance the aroma while preserving the tea's freshness and richness.
