Jasmijn Groene Parel groene thee

Jasmine green pearls 茉莉花茶 from Fujian 福建 — green tea rolled tight and scented with blooming jasmine until the floral note settles into the leaf. You will not see flower buds in the finished tea; the scent is meant to last in the cup, not sit on top as decoration.

In the cup the liquor stays refreshing like a green tea should, with a long jasmine fragrance that comes through clean rather than heavy. It is a classic scenting craft: the farmer has to judge how much blossom the leaf can take so the green character and the flower stay in balance.

We keep this lot because it does that balance well — green first, jasmine clear, and easy to drink through a quiet afternoon.

Jasmine flowers bloom gloriously and have a refreshing and unadorned scent, often used by Buddhist believers as offerings to Gautama Buddha, to cherish the springtime of enlightenment. Ancient Chinese mixed them with green tea in appreciation of their unique fragrance.

Like a chef preparing a meal or a perfumer creating a fragrance, the farmer has to bring the right amount of the floral scent to the tea with blossoming flowers. Although you will not see any flower buds in the finished Jasmin Green, the scent is extremely long-lasting and refreshing, full of springtime enlightenment.

The process of making Jasmine Green is a touchstone of the tea farmer’s craftsmanship. Like a chef preparing a meal or a perfumer creating a fragrance, the farmer has to bring the right amount of the floral scent to the tea. Although you will not see any flower buds in the finished tea, the Jasmine scent will be extremely long-lasting.
No wonder it is a classic. A great combination of rich but elegant jasmine scent and the fresh green tea taste, which you can drink throughout the year.
