Jasmine Flowers

Our Jasmine Flowers are obtained from our own Naturally Grown Jasminum officinale. Jasmine flowers are a health-beneficial, soothing, calming and sleep-inducing herbal tea ingredient, enjoyed either alone or combined with green or black teas, Mint, Chamomile, Lemongrass and Reishi.
 
We've found that planting in raised beds alongside our outdoor mushroom varieties allows a sharing of soil resources, eliminating the need for added fertilizers.
 
In addition to their historical use in essential oil and tea making, Jasmine flowers are also a somewhat uncommon beer additive, used in the brewing of 'Jasmine Ale'. For tea-making, ideally use hot, but not boiling water (80C) to prevent the evaporation of Jasmine's aromatic oils during steeping. Many homebrewing hobbyists follow this same protocol when adding "late-addition" ingredients like Jasmine flowers to their wort, or add a cooled tea during later fermentation for "dry-hopping" to pack the finished beer with delicate flavours.
