Thanks for your answers!

How is "Jasmine" Tea different than regular tea and how is it made?
this is from wiki:


Jasminum sambac flowers are also used to make tea, which often has a base of green tea, but sometimes an Oolong base is used. The delicate Jasmine flower opens only at night and is plucked in the morning when the tiny petals are tightly closed. They are then stored in a cool place until night. Between six and eight in the evening, as the temperature cools, the petals begin to open. Flowers and tea are "mated" in machines that control temperature and humidity. It takes four hours or so for the tea to absorb the fragrance and flavour of the Jasmine blossoms, and for the highest grades, this process may be repeated as many as seven times. Because the tea has absorbed moisture from the flowers, it must be refired to prevent spoilage. The spent flowers may or may not be removed from the final product, as the flowers are completely dry and contain no aroma. Giant fans are used to blow away and remove the petals from the denser tea leaves. If present, they simply add visual appeal and are no indication of the quality of the tea. Typically, Jasmine petals left in the tea are for export, whereas domestic Chinese tastes prefer the petals removed from the tea.
Reply:The unique, sweet flavor comes from jasmine flowers. I have a friend who makes a chilled pitcher of Bigelow Jasmine Green Tea every morning and drinks it all day long.

Reply:Jasmine Tea is a famous tea made from Green or Pouchong (Chinese Green) tea leaves that are scented with jasmine flowers. The jasmine flowers are harvested during the day and stored in a cool place until night. During the night, the flowers bloom with full fragrance. The flowers are layered over the tea leaves during the scenting process. The quality of Jasmine tea is determined by the quality of green tea used as its base and the effectiveness of the scenting.
Reply:haha thats funny i just had some, jasmine tea its sweeter the regular tea, jasmine is a flower
Reply:I like Jasime tea and drink it regularly, as far as how it is made the second respondant is correct, although I have had both black and green jasime teas, I prefer the black, it is just the tea with the flowers from the highly scented jasmine bush in the tea, as for the word tea, tea is a palnt and there are some drinks like chamomille and mint teas that are not teas but infused in water like tea.





As for cannibus tea, no I had coca tea in Peru, and in Jamaica the Ratafarian start the children out with it, before they are allowed to experience the "Ganga" in the way of the spirit (smoked).
