- Description
- Unlike many other jasmine green teas on the market that are made with summer harvest teas due to its lower cost, this tea uses as a base green tea made of all buds harvested in early spring and was scented 7 times with premium quality jasmine flowers, making it among the most desirable jasmine green teas by tea enthusiasts. When jasmine flowers were about to bloom in Leishan’s August hot summer days, the tea producer scented this green tea 7 times, each time with a fresh batch of unbloomed jasmine flowers waiting to bloom overnight. After each time’s scenting, the bloomed flowers need to be picked out for the next batch to be mixed in. The final step involves baking the tea dry, which balances the tea flavor and jasmine aroma and keeps the moisture content low for long-term storage.

I'm usually not a huge green tea fan, but I actually like this one better than the other jasmine tea. The green tea taste helps keep the jasmine from being too overwhelming while t… more

Think that this tea did not have enough Jasmine for me—I’m thinking it will be better after a few months of aging.
