Jasmine Tea
Jasmine tea is made by blending a base tea, such as green tea or white tea, with fresh jasmine flowers so that the leaves absorb the floral aroma.
Jasmine tea is not made from jasmine flowers themselves or from jasmine leaves.
Premium jasmine tea starts with the base green tea, which should be the first flush of spring. Flowers harvested after summer give a better aroma. Before summer there is a lot of rain, which makes the flowers weaker in aroma. We deal directly with producers, from sourcing the green tea to processing the fresh jasmine flowers.
The Quality of the Base Green Tea Is Extremely Important
The quality of jasmine tea is determined by the softness, sweetness, and the quality and strength of the flavor when drinking the tea.
To create delicious jasmine tea, the quality of the green tea used as the base is extremely important. It is essential that the tea is the first flush of spring, and factors such as the method of plucking, the presence or absence of fertilizers, and the altitude of the tea garden all influence its quality.
Moreover, to extract a good aroma, it is important to use jasmine flowers harvested after summer. Before summer, there is a lot of rain, which makes jasmine flowers cheaper but also results in a weaker aroma.
Jasmine flowers are mixed with tea leaves in the evening. Flowers that bloom at night release a fresh fragrance that is absorbed by the tea leaves by morning. The number of times this process is repeated also determines the fragrance of jasmine tea.
At HOJO, we conduct direct transactions with producers for everything from sourcing green tea to the processing of fresh jasmine flowers, allowing us to develop and produce original jasmine teas such as Pu-erh Jasmine Pearls and Jasmine Silver Needle.
