Introduction to Jasmine Loose Leaf Green Tea
Jasmine loose leaf green tea is a timeless Chinese treasure, blending the delicate freshness of green tea with the intoxicating aroma of jasmine blossoms. Originating in regions like Sichuan’s Qianwei County, this tea is celebrated for its artisanal production and health benefits. we take pride in crafting our jasmine loose leaf green tea using wild tea leaves harvested from pristine mountain gardens and hand-scented with locally grown jasmine flowers. Let’s delve into the story behind this fragrant brew.
1. The Origins: Wild Tea Leaves and Qianwei Jasmine
Our jasmine loose leaf green tea begins with wild tea plants thriving in high-altitude mountain ecosystems. These untamed tea bushes, untouched by pesticides, produce leaves rich in natural antioxidants and nuanced flavors. Paired with Qianwei jasmine, a flower variety renowned for its potent fragrance and sweetness, the tea captures the essence of Sichuan’s terroir.
Why Wild Tea?
Wild tea leaves grow slowly, developing complex flavors and higher concentrations of polyphenols compared to cultivated varieties. Their resilience to harsh climates also enhances their nutritional profile.
Qianwei Jasmine: A Floral Masterpiece
Qianwei’s jasmine blooms under misty twilight conditions, a time when their scent peaks. Farmers handpick these blossoms at dawn to preserve their volatile oils, ensuring a vibrant aroma infusion.
2. Traditional Craftsmanship: From Harvest to Your Cup
The creation of jasmine loose leaf green tea is a labor-intensive process rooted in centuries-old techniques:
Step 1: Harvesting and Withering
Wild tea leaves are plucked in spring, when they’re at their tenderest. After withering to reduce moisture, they’re lightly oxidized to preserve their green hue.
Step 2: Layering with Jasmine Blossoms
The dried tea leaves are layered with fresh jasmine flowers in bamboo trays. Over several nights, the flowers’ essential oils permeate the leaves. This “scenting” process is repeated up to five times for premium blends, a method highlighted in TenFu’s Tea production.
Step 3: Removing Blooms and Final Drying
Once the fragrance is fully absorbed, the spent jasmine flowers are meticulously removed by hand. The tea is then dried at low temperatures to lock in flavor.
This meticulous approach ensures every batch of jasmine loose leaf green tea delivers a balanced, floral-sweet profile with no artificial additives.
3. Health Benefits of Jasmine Tea
