• Item No. B05229-1 Jasmine Tea Preferred Quality
• Jasmine tea is the oldest of all scented teas. The practice of scenting tea with jasmine flowers originated in China more than a thousand years ago. The delicate and refreshing floral flavor of jasmine pairs well with various tea bases and herbal botanicals, creating a delightful herbal tisane. By their nature, jasmine flowers open in the cool night air. Thus, they are plucked before noon and kept aside until nightfall. Then, as cooler air arrives, the flowers begin to open, making a distinct popping sound. This signals that the blossoms are now ready to be blended, more romantically referred to as the marrying of jasmine and green. Regardless of the base tea used, jasmine tea is renowned for its floral fragrance and crisp, natural flavor. The creation of jasmine tea involves the meticulous handpicking of jasmine buds at the precise moment before they bloom. These buds are then kept in a cool environment until they unfurl. In the scenting phase, these opened buds are interspersed with tea leaves, allowing the jasmine aroma to infuse the leaves. This elaborate process demands extensive experience and refined skill. The outcome is a distinctive tea that is treasured by both the Chinese and tea enthusiasts worldwide.
