Jasmine Flower tea is made with fresh jasmine flowers, picked from our gardens. Normally jasmine flowers are added to a green or black tea, but you can also make the tea with just the flowers and buds. It has a nice fragrance and subtle taste. You can find the jasmine growing around the restaurant area of Eco-Logic Thailand More information about the pandan plant can be found here.
