Jasmine tea from Fujian province of China

Jasmine Tea is a famous tea made from Green or Pouchong (Chinese Green) tea leaves that are scented with jasmine flowers. The jasmine flowers are harvested during the day and stored in a cool place until night. During the night, the flowers bloom with full fragrance. The flowers are layered over the tea leaves during the scenting process. The quality of Jasmine tea is determined by the quality of green tea used as its base and the effectiveness of the scenting.

Jasmine Tea was found in Jiangsu province of China 1000 years ago, and the first tea factory especially for Jasmine Tea is in Fujian Province. But Jasmine tea from both of the two provinces is the best tea in China. Because the production quantity of Jasmine tea in Jiangsu Province is limited, the price over there is much higher. In the other hand, Jasmine tea from Fujian Province has been produced in a large size. Hence, the jasmine tea from Fujian province becomes more and more popular in China and oversea.
