Jiva Organic Dried Jasmine Flower Buds 4 Ounce Kraft Bag - Edible Flowers for Drinks & Tea

There are a lot of negative reviews about several of the dried jasmine flowers on here. I was hesitant to buy any, but decided to give this one a go since it's organic. I can understand why there are bad reviews, I think Jasmine smells so amazing when growing that people probable expect the dried flowers made into tea will have the similar scent and associated amazing flavor. That is not the case. Drinking tea made from dried flowers is not the same as smelling the flowers on the plant. I do enjoy this tea however and definitely get the flavor and essence of the jasmine flower. It's subtle and there is a bit of earthy flavor, like drinking tea made from dried leaves or something, but that is just they way it is. I am going to grow my own plant to compare but I really think this is how it's suppose to be.

Once I opened the resealable bag I knew that I made a mistake. Zero to no fragrance came through and most of the jasmine is broken up into smaller pieces, not whole buds as advertised. Additionally the jasmine is mostly brown in color, while some pieces are still white.I tried infusing the product into oil, but it provided no fragrance to the oil. I tried using the jasmine with homemade soap, but the finished product looked ugly and old. Ultimately no matter the use, this brands jasmine is inferior to others.Overall I will not purchase this product again; and, I don’t recommend anyone else purchase it either.

I'm very happy with these jasmine flower buds. Love the smell. I just add a pinch in a cup of green tea.

The media could not be loaded. Definitely not organic. Definitely not for human consumption.I make a lot of tea and wanted to try the cheaper version and instantly regret it. YOU CAN GET A REFUND. Even though the seller doesn't accept returns, Amazon won't allow the sale of rotten products so just call and get a refund if you do decide to ignore every other honest review from people who actually know about tea and what it should be. Please don't eat it if it doesn't smell like real jasmine. If it has a weird sweet but almost musty smell, it's not good. If it's brown, it's not good and could make you sick

I have been super impressed this was the find of the year. Useful doesn't even begin to describe this Organic Jasmine. I mean it goes in everything from green tea to rice. I hope I'll get an opportunity to purchase this again.

I will be using these as confetti for my wedding. Everywhere else I looked for bulk flower petals or other types of biodegradable confetti was significantly more expensive so this is a great bargain. Just be aware they are brown, not white, but they smell amazing!

True flowers, amazing for any herb project you have. Plus I grind them up and use them for tea. Wonderful will buy again

This is not the white buds depicted and claimed; it's shriveled, brown, loose plant material with a rancid, off-putting smell, that added an acrid, slightly grassy note to the infusion I tried them in...I poured it down the drain, and the remaining petals/leaves/whatever are going in the compost. Very disappointing, especially since the rose petals from the same company are perfectly lovely.A note about non-returnable items: Amazon is not in a position to receive returned foods and other ingestibles, but you can still get a refund; chat with customer service.
