A little about: China Green Tea with Jasmine

Rich Arabian Jasmine (Jasmine Sambac) known for its heady aroma is traditionally used in the making of China Jasmine tea. This famous tea is a speciality of Fujian Province. The green tea base, zao, is picked in the spring. It is rolled and then dried with warm air blown over it. The fresh jasmine blossoms, picked in July during the early afternoons, is the most fragrant. Fresh blossoms are repeatedly mixed with the green tea. They are then blown off the tea once the tea has been scented however some may be retained to add to the appearance of these wonderful teas. The scent of a good jasmine tea should be alluringly delicate.
