Re: where to find 2010 jasmines?
Not available yet. Start looking for them in June-July. Jasmine doesn't bloom in China until summertime, so they won't be scenting new tea until then. You can still find a few places that have jasmine pearl from last year, and it's still pretty good. I purchased some a few weeks ago. Some from a local shop, some from Tao of Tea. They were both fine, although perhaps not as fragrant as what I purchased last summer.
Re: where to find 2010 jasmines?
When I'm not drinking Japanese greens I love to drink different types of Jasmine tea. Last year I ordered a variety of Jasmines from Imperial Tea Court. At that time everything was available in 1 ounce packages, and the web site includes the harvest information. I particularly like that this web site also includes good information about the base tea. Some people enjoy pouchong and oolong jasmine (which might be the same) but I learned from my sampling experience that I only want green and white tea bases.
