Jasmine Golden Flower ~ Flowering Presentation Tea



Features:
  • Jasmine Golden Flowers are hand rolled and hand tied. The tea is steamed and dried with fresh Jasmine flowers which impart the delicate flavour and aroma.
  • Cup Characteristics: Pale Green, Smooth with delicate and exquisite Jasmine flavour.
  • Infusion: Pale Green.




Technical Specs:
  • Information: Jasmine Golden Flowers are hand rolled and hand tied. The method used to make these special Jasmine tea wheels is as follows:
  • -they begin with specially selected tea leaves (Leaves that are long and mottled white)
  • -the leaves are then tied together
  • -the leaves are then carefully and painstakingly flattened to for a ‘Flower’ shape.
  • -the tea is steamed and dried with fresh Jasmine flowers which impart the delicate flavour and aroma.
  • The dry leaf appearance of the tea is tending towards a mottled and white appearance, indicating very early new season tea and extremely careful plucking and manufacture. (New season tea of this quality is rare and only available for 2-3 weeks each year!)
  • This Jasmine is an exceptionally well-made tea. The leaves have a very tight and wiry roll with an over abundance of white mottled tips. The ‘tippy’ nature of the tea signifies a superior tea. ‘Tip’ is only possible when the estate practices fine plucking and a 3 or 4 day plucking rotation. The mottled effect is from teas that are plucked in the first 2-4 weeks of the new season when the days are warm but the night temperatures are piercingly cool. Further into the season when the evenings are warm as well, the bush grows 24 hours per day eliminating the possibility of fine plucking. The quality of this exceptional Jasmine evokes adjectives such as complex, subtle and mystery from long-unopened jewelry boxes.
  • New Jasmine blossoms become available about mid May. The new blossoms have the most intense fragrance. After the blossoms are layered between the fine green teas, slightly warmed air is drawn through the layered tea. The delicate fragrance of the blossoms impart itself on the tea. Interestingly Jasmine blossoms are used about 9 times. It is only during the 2nd use of the Jasmine blossoms that this tea made. Each time the Jasmine is used the flavor becomes less delicate and subtle. The more common grades of Jasmine contain the flowers. You will note that this tea has virtually no flower petals, an additional sign of superb quality.
