Jasmine green tea stands as a beacon among the world's most renowned scented teas. For many in Australia, their first encounter with jasmine green tea often unfolds within the ambiance of a Chinese restaurant, where it graciously concludes a mealtime experience.
Crafted through an infusion of delicate jasmine flower blossoms, jasmine green tea offers a delightful departure from conventional green teas. Its floral notes and subtle sweetness impart a refreshingly aromatic and cleansing essence. Typically, jasmine green teas feature not only the scented leaves but also delicate jasmine flower petals, elevating its presentation. While green tea serves as the traditional base, jasmine tea variations may also incorporate white or black tea.
Originating over a millennium ago in China during the South-Song Dynasty, the art of scenting jasmine green tea flourished, notably refining during the Ming Dynasty. By the early 20th century, this tea blend had garnered global acclaim, emerging as a sought-after commodity.
How is jasmine tea produced and made? Harvested in early spring, tea leaves await the late summer bloom of jasmine flowers. Picked at dawn when petals are tightly closed, the flowers are carefully preserved until nightfall. The scenting process unfolds as the jasmine blossoms release their essence under the moon's glow. This infusion transpires through two methods: blending tea with jasmine flowers or layering them overnight. Each cycle, lasting over four hours, sees the tea absorbing the fragrance, with premium varieties like Yin Hao undergoing this process repeatedly. Concluding the scenting, the tea is once again dried to extract moisture absorbed from the jasmine blooms.
