Jasmine scented green tea - a unique green tea from China

Traditionally, premium Chinese green teas are not blended to maintain purity and uniqueness - similar to premium wines. Jasmine tea however is quite unique however, with the sweet fragrance of jasmine blossom discovered to enhance and preserve various teas, as well as adding a special touch of elegance. Jasmine scented tea has therefore become an unique tea blend with it own right.

How our fine Jasmine green tea and Jasmine black teas are made

Jasmine tea production is a labour intensive and occurs during mid summer when Jasmine is blooming:

1. Green tea or black tea use to make the jasmine tea are first prepared.
2. Jasmine flowers are then harvested under strict conditions: only the unopened buds are harvested (already open blossom have already released their perfume, therefore not desired), harvesting takes place only in the afternoonwhen it is sunny and  not within 3 days after a rain.
3. Jasmine blossoms are then spread under the shade and turned over regularly to make sure the blossoms are in their prime conditions for later use, which is to open and release the maximum level of perfume.
4. Jasmine blossoms are then mixed with the green tea or black tea during the night, carefully monitored, temperature controlled and constantly adjusted by turning over the mixture of tea and jasmine blossoms mixture. This process continues throughout the whole night. Jjasmine tea processors hardly sleep at night during this season. 
5. The tea leaves can soak up to 20% of the moisture from the fresh jasmine blossoms during the process. Thefore tea leave are now baked again to reduce the moisture to the normal level. 
6. A premium Jasmine tea requires the above process repeated 6-9 times for the intense Jasmine perfume to be thoroughly infused into the teas. 

The effect is a soothing tea with an elegant jasmine aroma combined with the refreshing aftertaste of green tea or black tea.
