Default More mislabelled lotus tea

Okay, I have a package of lotus tea. It's marked in big letters
on the front "DAN TRA HOA SEN" which does mean Hoa Sen brand
lotus tea, and it has a picture of a lotus on the front.

It also has some analytical info on the bottom that I cannot
read:
Chi tieu chat luong TCNV 1455-93
Ham luong chat tan >= 34%
Ham luong tanin >= 20%
Do am <= 7.5%

According to the package, it's sold by www.hoasentea.com in tran phu.

BUT, the interesting part comes with the English ingredients again:

INGREDIENTS: Green tea, Jasmine Flavor, Gandy, Natural again,
Natural Herb flavor.

Does anyone have any explanation for all of these different lotus teas
being sold as "Jasmine" in the US?
