Extended Information:
Information: Jasmine Tea Balls are hand rolled and hand tied. The method used to make these special Jasmine tea balls is: * they begin with specially selected tea leaves (Leaves that are long and mottled white), * the leaves are then tied together and the centre leaves are cut and the outer leaves remain long, * the outer leaves are then carefully and painstakingly rolled into a tight ball. * the tea is steamed and dried with fresh Jasmine flowers which impart the delicate flavour and aroma. The dry leaf appearance of the tea balls 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!) When you place a Jasmine ball in your cup you will see the outer leaves begin to uncurl. Once the infusion time is complete the tea looks like a chrysanthemum flower with long petals on the outside and the short petals on the inside. The chrysanthemum implies tranquility, beauty, longevity and health.. Some active ingredients in Green Tea are: Polyphenols - antioxidants that are responsible for disease prevention and treatment. The polyphenols in green tea include: epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin. Caffeine - a stimulant found in green tea in small amounts Aromatic Oils - As many as 500 different aromatic oils in tea leaves contribute to the flavor and aroma of tea. Nutrients - The nutrients are present in very small amounts: vitamins including vitamin C, minerals (e.g.flouride, manganese) and amino acids such as theanine.
