Jasmine Flower – Special

Description

Chinese green tea among jasmine petals.

Jasmine green tea is one of the most popular teas, both in our shop and worldwide. What makes it popular is the perfect fusion of enchanting floral jasmine notes and the sharp, deeper notes of green tea. It’s an ideal combination for morning hours and early afternoon, whether you’re waking up in the comfort of your home or taking a break at work.

The production process for this tea is very demanding, requiring skill and experience to make jasmine green tea just right.

First and foremost, good quality green tea and freshly picked jasmine flowers are needed. Jasmine buds are hand-picked when the sun rises and the morning dew evaporates. Only buds that appear likely to bloom that evening are selected.

After picking, the flowers are stored in a cool place until evening. During the evening, the jasmine flowers open and release their fragrance. As they are scattered in layers with the green tea leaves, their enchanting scent transfers and binds to the leaves.

It takes more than four hours for the tea to absorb the scent and flavor of jasmine.
The natural scenting process can be repeated up to six or seven times.
The tea absorbs moisture from the fresh jasmine flowers, so it must also be re-dried to prevent spoilage.
