‌I. Overview‌

Jasmine tea is a ‌reprocessed tea‌ made by repeatedly scenting green tea leaves with fresh jasmine blossoms, blending the freshness of green tea with the sweet aroma of jasmine. It is a representative category of traditional Chinese floral teas‌. Sichuan-style jasmine tea, for example, uses high-altitude cloud-mist tea from Mount Emei or Mount Mengding as the base and pairs it with double-petal jasmine flowers from Hengxian, Guangxi, creating a harmonious balance of tea and floral notes‌.

Appearance‌: Dry leaves are tightly rolled with visible white tips. When brewed, the liquor is clear green or golden-yellow. Features floating jasmine petals, creating a visual scene reminiscent of “snowflakes floating on an emerald pond.

Aroma‌: Intensely floral with fresh jasmine sweetness, interwoven with the green tea’s delicate chestnut-like fragrance‌.

Flavor‌: Smooth, mellow, and sweet with a lingering aftertaste, free of astringency‌.

‌II. Production Process‌

1.     ‌Tea Base Selection‌

The tea base typically uses ‌pre-Ming (early spring) tea leaves‌, such as tender buds from Mount Emei’s tea gardens above 800 meters. These leaves are delicate and contain moderate tannins, contributing to a refreshing taste‌.

The green tea undergoes ‌fixation and rolling‌ to form tightly rolled, slender dry leaves‌.

Stir-Frying Technique‌: A Sichuan-specific step where tea is stir-fried to enhance its natural aroma, preventing the floral notes from overpowering the tea’s essence‌16.

‌III. Sensory Characteristics‌
