An exquisite flowering tea, Jasmine Fairy Maidens comes with a hidden surprise. Remove it from the package, and you'd be forgiven for thinking you were brewing a plain bundle of lightly aromatic green tea. Add less than boiling water, however, and watch as the bloom unfurls into a blossom with a center of fragrant jasmine flowers and delicate silver-green leaves at the base. Enjoy the gentle flavors and sweet aromas on a special occasion or as a treat after a long day.
