Everybody loves a creamy and crispy crème brulée. Although have you ever tried infusing Jasmine Fuding Imperial green tea into it? It elevates the flavour profile by adding an aromatic and floral taste to the already delicious dessert. The Jasmine Fuding Imperial green tea is from Fujian, and has a rich taste due to the tea leaves being scented with jasmine flower buds five times. I promise it’s worth trying out for yourself, and it only takes about 15 minutes to prepare!
