About Jasmine Mao Jian Green Tea

Fresh jasmine flowers lend this famous Chinese Jasmine Mao Jian green tea its distinctively aromatic flavour and scent. The jasmine flowers are layered over the tea overnight, and as the flowers open, a delicate, seductive fragrance permeates the tea leaves. This traditional process is repeated up to eight times, infusing the tea leaves with the finest aromas. Our Jasmine Mao Jian Green Tea is characterised by its fresh, delicate taste—a masterful delicacy.

About Mao Jian

This tea variety is called Mao Jian or "Downy Tip" because the small hairs on the young leaves are a sign of the highest quality. Mao Jian means "Hair Tips." Like all high-quality Chinese green teas, the leaves for Mao Jian are harvested in the first days of April.

Cultivation

To achieve its special delicacy, only the first and second leaves of a young shoot are picked for this green tea. Since the green tea is typically harvested in spring and the jasmine blooms only in summer, the partly dried tea must be stored for several weeks in a cool and dark place. Once the jasmine flowers are available, the flower buds are collected and carefully mixed with the tea leaves.

Effects

Green tea has an invigorating effect. The health benefits of tea have been well-known for a long time: the tannins calm the stomach and intestines, the antibacterial effect of green tea helps prevent tooth decay, and it regulates blood pressure. Additionally, green tea supports the immune system and can contribute to general well-being.

How to enjoy

Enjoy our Jasmine Mao Jian neat in the morning or offer it to your guests as a welcome. Jasmine tea pairs excellently with rice dishes and light, crisp salads.

ORIGIN

Fujian, Sichuan & Guangxi, China

This Jasmine Mao Jian brings together green teas from Fujian and Sichuan with jasmine flowers from Guangxi. Each origin contributes to the balance of the finished cup: fresh tea character, delicate texture and fragrant blossoms.

Fujian has a long tradition of jasmine tea scenting, in which tea leaves take on the aroma released by fresh flowers. Guangxi is a major jasmine-growing region, where the blossoms’ evening fragrance plays an important role in this craft.

Through repeated scenting, leaf and flower come together in a tea that is bright, smooth and gently sweet, with jasmine fragrance lingering after each sip.
