Jasmine Green Tea: An Exquisite Scented Delight for Tea Enthusiasts

Jasmine green tea, renowned worldwide for its captivating aroma and delicate flavour, has long been adored by tea lovers across the globe. For many Australians, their first encounter with this enchanting brew often occurs while dining at Chinese restaurants, where it gracefully concludes a meal, leaving taste buds delighted.

Crafted by infusing green tea leaves with the essence of fragrant Jasmine flower blossoms, Jasmine green tea offers a refreshing alternative to traditional green tea sencha. Its floral bouquet and subtly sweet character create a truly aromatic, uplifting, and cleansing experience. Notably, most Jasmine green teas not only feature the scented tea but also incorporate Jasmine flower petals, enhancing the visual allure of the brew. Although green tea serves as the classic base, Jasmine tea can also contain white tea and black tea.

Delving into history, we discover that Jasmine green tea originated over a millennium ago in China during the South-Song Dynasty. Over the centuries, the art of scenting the tea underwent further refinement under the Ming Dynasty, eventually propelling the tea blend to high demand, becoming a coveted trade commodity worldwide by the early 20th century.

Jasmine green tea is meticulously made. Early spring tea leaves are carefully stored until late summer when jasmine flowers bloom. Handpicked jasmine flowers are kept cool until nightfall - The scenting process occurs at night, as the blossoms release their essence and fragrance. The tea can be scented by blending it with jasmine flowers or layering them overnight. High-quality Jasmine green teas like Yin Hao are made by repeating this intricate process six or seven times. After scenting, the tea is carefully dried again to remove jasmine flower moisture.
