Chung Hao Jasmine
History:
The jasmine tea Chung Hao is historically an imperial tea and was only allowed to be consumed at the Chinese imperial court. It impresses with its fine green leaves, interwoven with delicate, silvery buds. This top-quality tea has a mild, delicate taste of the finest jasmine and is truly something very special.
This tea was flavored with jasmine blossoms using the traditional method, which are then removed again. Some blossoms remain in the Chung Hao for decoration.
Origin:
The origins of jasmine tea lie in the Chinese Song Dynasty (960–1279). The blending with flowers was initially used to enhance lower-quality teas. Today, jasmine tea is considered a particularly fine tea blend, although it is offered in a wide range of quality levels. Quality factors, in addition to the selection of the flowers, include the number of blends, the so-called "weddings" of fresh flowers with the green tea each time.
Production:
A green tea or semi-fermented tea is usually used as the base for production. Depending on the production method, the flavor of the jasmine flowers is imparted either by mixing with the flowers or by steaming over a flower bath. Portions of this plant can be present in varying amounts in the teas.
