Typically, jasmine tea is green or white tea-based, naturally infused with jasmine buds and jasmine flower petals. At The Tea Makers of London, we work closely with some of the best tea farmers and producers globally, regularly visiting local tea producers, their plantations and production facilities to ensure that the teas we provide are of the utmost quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach premium tea in our Jasmine Tea range is sourced from Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province in China’s southeast. With its subtropical climate, short dry winters and high rainfall, the area has historically proved ideal for growing jasmine plants and the tea bush, Camellia sinensis. Jasmine was originally planted in the third century and has been blended with green tea leaves since the Song dynasty era (960-1279 AD).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn spring, the finest tea leaves are carefully plucked and dried to prevent oxidation, then stored away until summer’s jasmine flower harvest, when they are carefully layered with the new blooms. Left for several hours, the essential oils of the jasmine slowly seep into the tea leaves, mixing the natural flavours and aromas of both before the tea is gently heated to remove any residual moisture. This process is repeated up to seven times to ensure that the tea leaves take on a strong fragrance. This infusion method – referred to by tea professionals as 'scenting’ – is an intricate process that requires many years of experience to perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExplore similar Chinese or Ceylon green teas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a more fully floral example of a Chinese jasmine cup of tea, try our intensely fragrant \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/products\/jasmine-dragon-pearls-loose-leaf-tea\"\u003eJasmine Dragon Pearls\u003c\/a\u003e, which unfurl prettily before your eyes as they brew.
