Core Regions from Mengding Mountain &Emei Mountain Sichuan Province
Green tea comes from the Mengding Mountain top grade Mengding Ganlu, and jasmine comes from the Emei Mountain high-quality cultivation base.
Drinking Jasmine tea was originally just a niche hobby of literati and scholars. The action of introducing the fragrance of flowers into tea and letting the tea absorb the fragrance is called fumigating tea, also known as "scenting tea". But until now, scented tea is still an inseparable part of the lives of people in the north.
Making Jasmine Tea is More Sophisticated than You Think
Jasmine flowers only release fragrance during the flowering process, and the fragrance is the best when they are in bloom; the buds have not grown yet, so the fragrance is insufficient.
Flowers that have been in bloom for a long time will have their fragrance evaporated and will no longer be fragrant.
To make jasmine tea, you must make sure that the tea leaves fully absorb the fragrance during the short flowering period of jasmine until the tea and flowers are integrated.The scenting process often requires five or six steps.
To make tea once, you need to absorb the "fragrant soul" of 5 or 6 batches of jasmine flowers. After repeated polishing, the tea leaves are made into a tea.
At the same time, another protagonist is also on standby: the tea leaves need to be dried again before scenting. Usually when buying jasmine tea, the various names - Snow Bud, Silver Peak, Fragrant Bud, Dragon Ball, etc., are nothing more than describing the raw materials of the tea.The Mengding Ganlu we chose is a roasted green tea with a strong ability to absorb fragrance, and it is perfect with the fragrance of flowers.
How to Choose Jasmine Tea
Many people only consider the number of scenting times when choosing, thinking that the more times, the better. In fact, tea also has a threshold for absorbing aroma. After exceeding the critical point, it will emit fragrance in the opposite direction. So the number of scenting times is not the number, but the quality.
Therefore, when choosing jasmine tea, you might as well take a closer look at what tea base it uses. Generally speaking, the higher the quality of the tea used, the better the overall performance of jasmine tea. The quality of the tea base can reflect the quality of the flowers used. A batch of inferior quality tea base will not be scented with too many flowers.
The main production areas of jasmine tea are Hengzhou, Guangxi, Fuzhou, Fujian, Sichuan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Sichuan is the second largest production area. Although it is not as famous as Fuzhou and Guangxi, the jasmine flowers produced here are large buds, thick petals, white flowers, and high in essential oils. The quality of the made jasmine tea is fresh and refreshing.
