Jasmine tea is honored as the most fragrant and popular scented Chinese tea in the world. Our Jasmine tea is made from super quality High Mountain MaoFeng green tea leaves which is repeatedly scented with fresh jasmine flowers up to four times, allowing the tea leaves to fully absorb the fragrance and to create a tea with longer-lasting taste and aroma.

 

    Jasmine flower tea is one of the most enjoyable herbal teas that is available to us today. Its pleasant floral scent combined with the soothing therapeutic benefits it has to offer are what make it a highly enjoyable tea. Since its effects are gentle and soothing it can be given in small amounts to children as well.

 

     Tea leaves are harvested in the early spring and stored until the late summer when fresh jasmine flowers are in bloom. Jasmine flowers are picked early in the day when the small petals are tightly closed. The flowers are kept cool until nightfall. During the night jasmine flowers open, and release their fragrance, and this is when the tea scenting takes place. There are two main methods used to scent the tea with the jasmine. In one method the tea and flowers are placed in alternating layers; in the other, the tea is blended with jasmine flowers and stored overnight. It takes over four hours for the tea to absorb the fragrance and flavor of the jasmine blossoms. The scenting process may be repeated as many as six or seven times for top grades such as Yin Hao. The tea absorbs moisture from the fresh Jasmine flowers so it must be dried again to prevent spoilage.

 

Benefits of Jasmine Flower

Jasmine tea contains several different kinds of antioxidants that provide protection to the membranes of red blood cells. This added protection helps fend off free radical-induced oxidation of the red blood cells. There are many therapeutic benefits to be obtained from this tea as well. Jasmine tea not only has a calming scent, but also has the ability to reduce stress and ease depression. Drinking it can also alleviate anxiety and tension in the nerves and muscles of the body. The tranquil effects of this drink can lower blood pressure and relax both the mind and body making it an effective tea to drink for headache relief as well.
