Jasmine Blossom Loose Green Tea
Stash Loose Leaf 3.5 oz
The jasmine plant was brought to China before
the third century. However, it wasn't until
sometime around the fifth century that its
intoxicatingly fragrant flowers were first
blended with tea. Today Jasmine mainly comes
from the counties surrounding Foochow in
Fukien province, a district the Chinese
poet Lu Yu included in his list of the outstanding
tea producing areas. The delicate Jasmine
flower opens only at night and is plucked
in the morning, when the tiny petals are
tightly closed. Flowers and tea are ''mated''
in machines that control temperature and
humidity. It takes four hours or so for
the tea to absorb the fragrance and flavor
of the Jasmine blossoms, and for the highest
grades, this process may be repeated as
many as seven times. Jasmine is, without
a doubt, one of the world's great teas.
Our Jasmine Blossom blend has downy silver
tips and most of the spent jasmine blossoms
have been removed. It has an intoxicating
aroma and a balanced and delicate flavor.
This romantic tea may be enjoyed any time
of the day but is especially pleasant in
the evening.
