Why Jasmine Tea is Different from Other Tea
Whether you drink tea all the time or are just becoming acquainted with it, you should try Jasmine tea. Of all Chinese tea, this is one of the most popular, a type of tea that was first discovered in the Sung Dynasty some 700 years ago. Workers found that by hand plucking the leaves just prior to blooming, an amazing flavor was produced.
Once the leaves are plucked, they must be kept in a cool place until nighttime. At that point, the full flavor and fragrance are released. Next, petals of the Jasmine plant are added to the dry tealeaves. As the leaves dry, they begin to absorb the fragrance of the Jasmine petals. Typically, Jasmine tea is scented this way up to three times and for higher grades, scented even more. Today, this process is often done automatically with machinery whereas in the old days, it was all done by hand.
Why do people love green tea so much?
The one beverage consumed most in the world is water but tea is number two. In the past few years, tea, especially green tea has grown in popularity for a variety of reasons such as flavor, aroma, and healing properties.
Green Tea Varieties
For one thing, Chinese green tea comes in a wide range of varieties. The different flavors are the result of the oxidization process but with green tea, no oxidization is done, which means enzymes in the loose green tea leaves are never exposed to oxygen. However, if you were to look at Chinese black tea, the process involves full oxidization whereas oolong tea only goes through a partial process of oxidization. Therefore, the type of flavor and even medicinal properties are based on how much oxidization the leaves go through.
