Origin & Terroir of Jasmine Black Tea
Black Tea Base (Fengqing, Yunnan)
This Jasmine Black Tea uses a high-grade Dianhong black tea base from Fengqing, Yunnan (Jinluo style). The base features beautiful bud-forward leaves with strong visual appeal. In the cup, it leans honey-sweet and full-bodied, with a smooth sweetness and excellent brewing endurance. This rich black tea base supports the jasmine fragrance, creating a more layered and balanced Jasmine Tea.
Jasmine Flowers (Hengzhou, Guangxi)
The jasmine flowers come from Hengxian (now Hengzhou), Guangxi, one of the major production regions for jasmine flowers and Jasmine Flower Tea. We use 5-round scenting with a high flower-to-tea ratio (about 500 g of flowers for 500 g of tea), so the floral aroma integrates deeply into the tea leaves for a richer, longer-lasting fragrance.
The flowers are hand-picked, and this traditional flower tea process requires significant time and labor—contributing to both cost and aroma intensity.
Our Sourcing Method
We believe great tea should be judged by what’s in the cup, not just by a good story. That’s why we use a market-based sourcing approach and evaluate samples from multiple sources each year.
After repeated testing, brewing, and tasting, we select the version with better aroma, more stable flavor, and more reliable brewing endurance—so our choice is based on real drinking performance.
