It is made from jasmine flowers that bloom in \u003cspan\u003eGuangxi\u003c\/span\u003e Province with a unique cellar technique that lets tea absorb the aroma of flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eDo you know Jasmine tea?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraditional jasmine tea is crafted by scenting green tea with jasmine blossoms.

Too few scentings muted the floral notes; too many overpowered the tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThrough four meticulous scentings and one final drying\u003c\/strong\u003e, we achieved harmony: the tea’s refreshing sweetness elegantly embraces the flower’s fresh floral aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is the production process?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea embryo processing: In the past, jasmine tea was made using green tea as the base, but nowadays, white tea, black tea, and oolong tea are also very common but compared to green tea, other teas are more difficult to absorb the fragrance and more difficult to make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is mainly because of the limitations of both the tea and the process: black tea is not easy to absorb the fragrance and requires a larger amount of jasmine flowers and a longer manuring time when making. However, if the process is not well worked, black tea may become sour after a long time. The difficulty factor is 2-3 times that of jasmine green tea; in addition, the tea embryo of jasmine black tea must be light and sweet black tea, the traditional black tea is thick, red, and bitter, and the Jun Mei black tea is just right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd green tea is cold for the stomach, the taste and aroma are easy to evaporate, tasting season and crowd restrictions. Black tea is warmer, more mellow, more nourishing, and stomach-friendly, suitable for all seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlower handling.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e① Jasmine flowers have very strict requirements for harvesting, and the buds need to be harvested at 2-3 pm on the dog day (the hot, sultry days of summer) when the temperature is the highest.  The flowers are most fragrant at night when they bloom naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnolia flowers have a higher aroma than jasmine flowers, so jasmine tea is primed with magnolia flowers before manuring, and then manured with jasmine flowers to increase the overall aroma concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScenting:\u003c\/strong\u003e The tea embryo and flowers are mixed and stacked with white magnolia flowers as the base, which is completed after about 5-6h. In addition to this, when the temperature is too high, it needs to be spread out in time to dissipate the heat, and the flowers will wither after a manuring time of up to 10-15h. It is also necessary to separate the tea flowers and dry the tea leaves before the next manuring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea master has been trying to find that 4 Scenting and 1 Jacquard are the best, not to cover the aroma of tea, not to cover the taste of tea, the aroma of tea and flowers blend just right, showing the perfect balance between the sweetness of tea and the freshness of flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it tea or flowers in jasmine tea?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTriple-sifted to remove 100% blossoms, preserving only fragrance.Jasmine essence molecularly infused into the tea leaves – zero floral off-notes contamination.Eliminating petal moisture absorption – extends peak flavor shelf life\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Methods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGongfu Brewing: Preferably a white porcelain gaiwan.
