Story
Jasmine green tea has been part of Chinese export culture since the Song Dynasty and was widely used as diplomatic tea in the early years of the People’s Republic.
Today, Jiangxi Jasmine Green Tea continues to be produced under strict sustainable agriculture standards.
Production
This tea is produced in Fuliang (浮梁) county, Jiangxi province, an area with over a thousand years of tea-making history and a key part of China’s “Green Tea Golden Triangle”. The region is known for its ecological growing conditions and rich tea heritage, recognized nationally and internationally for its export-quality teas.
To produce high-quality jasmine green tea, freshly picked jasmine flowers are layered with green tea leaves in a fixed ratio (typically 125 jin of fresh flowers to 100 jin of dry tea), then repeatedly scented and refreshed through four rounds of layering and one final flower enhancement step. After each scenting, the spent flowers are removed, leaving only the absorbed aroma within the tea leaves.
